He once famously said that if I wanted to, I could split the earth in half. He is Nikola Tesla. Yes, the Tesla electric car you see on the road today was named in honor of its founder, Musk.

There is always a lot of controversy about Nikola Tesla. Many people have tried to rediscover what Tesla did, but no one has succeeded. We can only find the answer from historical clues.

Tesla was born in a small town in Croatia on July 10, 1856. When he was young, he often suffered from some strange diseases, suffered from this strange pain, and often had hallucinations. His ability to conduct detailed experiments and create what came to mind would lay the foundation for his later inventions.

In 1884, Tesla accidentally went to the United States and gradually got on the right track in life. After several years of painstaking research, he invented the asynchronous motor and successfully passed the lighting project of the Columbian Exposition, demonstrating the reliability and safety of alternating current to large and medium-sized men and women. He is known as the "Father of the Electrical Age" by future generations.

In 1895, when his inventive career was at its peak, a bizarre fire destroyed his entire laboratory. All the precious research equipment and scientific experimental data he had studied for half his life were destroyed. Tesla's economy suffered serious losses, but he did not lose confidence under this sudden blow.

In 1901, he built the first large-scale Tesla coil in the history of Long Island in the United States, providing wireless communication and wireless power transmission across the Atlantic Ocean. During Tesla's lifetime, alternating current was just one of his many achievements, and he remained a great figure in history.

Tesla died on January 7, 1943, in Room 3327 of the New York City Hotel. Although Tesla has left us, his contributions a hundred years ago illuminated and connected the earth like magic. Today we can still use this light to move forward.
