Nikola Tesla Plaza — Attraction in Niagara Falls

Have you visited Niagara falls? I am quite sure yes is the answer. Have you ever seen Mr. Nikola Tesla’s statue in Niagara falls? Many of you might not.

Nikola Tesla is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electric supply system. Mr. Tesla created the world’s first hydroelectro power plant at the Niagara falls!

Tesla and Edison were competing with each other at that time with their skills. Nikola Tesla with AC and Thomas Edison with DC for transmitting electricity.

For development of plant at Niagara Falls, both submitted their proposals in the contest in 1893 organised by Niagara Falls Commission. The pitch based by Tesla’s approach (Westing house Electric and Manufacturing Company) was accepted and awarded the contract since Tesla’s AC based bet was better than Edison’s DC...

The Nikola Tesla Statue at Niagara Falls is a remarkable tribute to one of history's greatest inventors and visionaries. Standing in the presence of this statue, I couldn't help but feel a profound sense of admiration for Tesla's contributions to science and technology.

The sculpture itself is beautifully crafted, capturing Tesla's likeness with great detail and precision. The location, overlooking the majestic Niagara Falls, adds to the grandeur of the experience. It's a fitting spot for a man who played a crucial role in harnessing the power of electricity.

This statue is not only a piece of art but also a symbol of inspiration. It serves as a reminder of the incredible potential of human innovation and the impact one individual can have...

Good views from here. Tesla has been adopted as the most important scientist by the local government because he drove the development of the modern AC power transmission system (while Edison kept pushing the nearly worthless DC transmission concept). Fortunately, Tesla worked Mr. Westinghouse to do practical things while Edison did all he could to claim all the credit for this and many other things he did not invent and destroy Tesla’s reputation and deny him the money he should have earned. Without Tesla our great grandparents would have been in the dark for...
