Nikola Tesla and John Hutchison

NIKOLA TESLA (18561943)
3
Teslas life.
  • Tesla was born to Serbian parents in Smiljan,
    Croatia. His father was a priest of the local
    Serbian Orthodox Church.
  • Tesla was very clever as a child and liked to
    write poetry and experiment.
  • His parents wanted him to follow his father and
    become a priest, but Tesla developed an interest
    in scientific pursuits.
  • He studied engineering at the Technical
    University in Graz, Austria.

Teslas work.
  • In 1881 Tesla went to Budapest as an engineer for
    a telephone company and a year later took up a
    similar position in Paris. He went to the United
    States in 1884 and worked for American inventor
    Thomas Edison for a year before setting up his
    own workshop.
  • Tesla worked with American industrialist George
    Westinghouse. Tesla became a United States
    citizen in 1889.
  • His mother died in 1892.
  • In 1912 both he and Edison were proposed for the
    Nobel Prize in physics, but Tesla refused to be
    associated with Edison. Neither inventor received
    the prize.
  • He lived his last years as a recluse and died in
    New York.

5
Tesla Coil Nikolas greatest invention.
  • A transformer that could change both the
    frequency and magnitude of an alternating
    current.
  • Using this device, Tesla produced an electric
    spark 41 m long in 1899. He also lit more than
    200 lamps over a distance of 40 km without the
    use of intervening wires.
  • Tesla outlined a scheme for detecting ships at
    sea that was later developed as radar. Many of
    his inventions, including electrical clocks and
    turbines, remained in his head because he had no
    money to put them into practice.

6
John Hutchison inventor of the Hutchison effect.
7
Hutchisons Life.
  • John Kenneth Hutchison is a Canadian self
    educated scientist.
  • He stumbled onto his effect in 1979 when he was
    studying the longitudinal wavelengths of Nikola
    Tesla.
  • He did not take notes or read machine manuals
    he simply worked as an artist.

8
The Hutchison effect.
  • He crammed in one room in his home in Vancouver a
    variety of devices that emit strong
    electromagnetic fields such as Tesla coils, Van
    de Graff generators, radio frequency transmitters
    and many others.
  • He turned all of them on at the same time and he
    was astonished to see that a metal bar that was
    placed on the ground near him floated in the air
    for about a second and then fell back to the
    ground.

9
The abnormal results of the Hutchison effect.
  • The Hutchison effect has many effects such as
  • -Levitation of heavy objects such as a
    cannonball.
  • -jellification of metals.
  • -Fusion of dissimilar materials such as metal and
    wood.
  • -anomalous heating of metals without burning
    adjacent material.
  • -spontaneous breaking of metals.
  • -both temporary or permanent changes in the
    crystalline structure of metals.
