NIKola Tesla was a young man who lived and worked in what is now known as Yugoslavia. Although officially his home country is Belgrade, the area that he came from, referred to collectively as the “Vojinci region,” is referred to as Yugoslavia today. The region became familiar with Tesla’s works while he was still living there.

Most of what we think of as Tesla inventions are geared toward the world we know today. However, his life and works also had an influence on inventions that we use every day such as the washing machine, flashlight, and the electric drill. All of these innovations were born out of his studies and inventions that Tesla made at his laboratory in breaks from work. In one of these experiments, he made what is called a magnifying transmitter. This device used two bars of polished aluminum containing two different kinds of elements on opposite sides which were electrically charged.
In his experiments with the magnifying transmitter, Tesla invention was later taken up by the United States military. With this technology the military was able to use small arms to fire small projectiles like bullets at enemy soldiers or to drop leaflets and other information about their forces. After World War I ended, the United States and Britain were still reliant on their hydroelectric power plants for their respective national energy needs. With the advent of the automobile, the need for hydroelectric power also decreased, causing Britain to turn to France for hydroelectric power instead.
A few years later, a German electrical engineer named Otto von Guericke was working in the radio industry in Germany when he discovered that if you placed two metal poles facing each other and connected them with an alternating current, you would produce a flow of moving fluid. He further discovered that if the fluid was in motion, it would cause the same amount of voltage to be produced as electricity. When Mr. Guericke began transmitting these waves to homes all over Germany, he named his new technology radio telephony. Telephones became an essential communication tool for the German people, until the onset of World War II.
During World War II, the telephone lines were destroyed by German aircraft, along with the factories that produced the telephone equipment. The result was that telephone services were severely limited during that time. Individuals using the telephone would either buy bulky equipment or go out onto the streets and lay their hands on a receiver/transmitter kit. This new technology allowed for individuals to make and receive telephone calls, as well as using the Internet, email, and other applications that are available through modern day telephones. Without the invention of the telephone lines, there would have been no means to send emails or surf the Internet.
Another invention that Tesla had a hand in creating was the induction kit. This is similar to a how a car ignites its own power, which in this case is electrical energy. In fact, it is quite similar to how an electric fan works, although the electricity generated is much smaller. One major difference is that rather than being created through a spark plug, it is created through the principle of electromagnetic induction. This is a more efficient method of generating electricity, and it allowed Tesla to create much higher quality electric currents. He also managed to use this electrical energy to power small appliances like radios, televisions, and even cars.
