Description
Nikola Tesla for Kids explores the life of Nikola Tesla, a physicist, scientist, electrical engineer, and world-renowned inventor whose accomplishments were often overlooked after his death in 1943.
Tesla was undeniably eccentric and compulsive; some considered him to be somewhat of a "mad" scientist. However, he was in reality a visionary. Many of his ideas and inventions, once considered impossible, have since become reality.
He was the first to successfully use rotating magnetic fields to create an AC (alternating current) electrical power supply system and induction motor. Furthermore, he is now acknowledged to have invented the radio ahead of Marconi.
Among his many innovations, Tesla developed the Tesla coil, an oscillator, generators, fluorescent tubes, neon lights, and a small remote-controlled boat. Remarkably, he also helped design the world's first hydroelectric plant at Niagara Falls.
Nikola Tesla for Kids provides a detailed narrative of Tesla's life and ideas. It includes a timeline, 21 hands-on activities, and additional resources to help readers understand his numerous accomplishments.
