- CROATIA

- INDUCTION
- Tesla's induction motor, patented in 1888, used a rotating magnetic field to turn a rotor without any physical contact — an elegant idea that powers countless electric motors to this day.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
- COIL
- The Tesla coil, developed in 1891, is a resonant transformer that produces high-voltage, high-frequency alternating current — and those dramatic arcs of artificial lightning still awe audiences in science museums worldwide.Find this word in the grid to read its note.
- TURBINE
- Tesla held a patent on a bladeless turbine design he called the Tesla turbine, which used smooth, parallel disks rather than blades to transfer energy from a fluid — a concept engineers still study today.Find this word in the grid to read its note.

About Tesla's Brilliant Light: The Wizard of Electricity Is Born
On July 10, 1856, in the small village of Smiljan — then part of the Austrian Empire, in what is now Croatia — a child was born who would one day reshape the modern world: Nikola Tesla. He gave us alternating current, the induction motor, and the resonant coil that still bears his name — inventions that would eventually light entire cities and spin the turbines of a new industrial age. Tesla's notebooks crackled with ideas decades ahead of their time, from wireless power transmission to rotating magnetic fields, and his laboratory experiments lit bulbs across a room before a wire ever touched them.
