Inventor Nikola Tesla was born on this day in history, July 10, 1856, in what is now Croatia.
Tesla’s father was a priest in the Serbian Orthodox Church, notes Encyclopedia Britannica. The younger Tesla took a keen interest in science at a young age. Around the age of six, he started to conduct experiments, according to the website for the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe in New York.
In Budapest, Tesla “improved the equipment and developed an amplifier” — while in Paris, “Tesla made improvements to Edison’s dynamos and created an automatic regulator,” said the Tesla Science Center. He arrived in New York City “with four cents in his pocket,” said the website Tesla Universe.Edison “essentially hired Tesla on the spot” and put him to work on the electrical system of the ocean liner “Oregon,” the first ship with electric lighting.
Despite Tesla’s work to improve the generator, Edison refused to pay him, reportedly saying, “You don’t understand our American humor.”
