Among his many accomplishments. his discovery of the practical applications of alternating currents has been a significant landmark in high voltage technology. Working in small laboratories from midtown Manhattan to Colorado. Tesla invented the polyphase electric motor. the bladeless steam engine. and the radioguided torpedos. Many scientists even believe that Tesla was the first to conceive of "Star Wars" or the military shield in space.
