Nikola Tesla Inventions

Tesla's steam engine regulators, patented like U.S. Patent 517,900 in 1894, controlled flow for consistent performance using feedback mechanisms. Aiming at efficiency, they adjusted valves...

World's first and only valve with no moving parts. This device uses a series of specially-shaped chambers to create flow resistance in one direction, but not the other. It's also called a "fluid diode...

Tesla improved arc lamps in the 1880s by developing regulators and commutators to stabilize the electric arc, producing brighter, more consistent light. His designs reduced flickering and extended...
