1875 - 1878.Studies at the Polytechnics in Graz;
1880.
Studies natural philosophy at the Charles' University in Prague;
1881.
Starts working for the Central Telegraph Office in Budapest and makes his first invention: voice amplifier for the telephone receiver;
1882.
Invents the rotating magnetic field and leaves Budapest; finds employment in the Edison Continental Company in Paris
1883.
Spends six months working on the reconstruction of the power station in Strasbourg. Makes the first model of the induction motor;
1884.
Returns to Paris. On the recommendation of the Board in Paris travels to New York to work in the "Edison Machine Works";
1885.
Leaves Edison's company and founds the "Tesla Arc Light Co." in New York. Makes first alternating current motors and generators. Applies his first patent "Commutator for Dynamo-electric Machines", followed by patents on arc-lamps regulators;
1887.
Applies the patents on the polyphase alternating current motors and generators.

Gives lectures in London and Paris on his latest researches (""Experiments With Alternate Currents of high potential and high frequency"); visits his homeland and Belgrade.
1893.
Invents the wireless telegraphy system; achieves great success with his lectures at the World Exhibition in Chicago. Together with Westinghouse demonstrates his system of production, transmission and use of alternate currents, influencing decisively the acceptance of this project proposal for the construction of hydroelectric power plant at the Niagara Falls;
1894 - 95.
Invents mechanical oscillators and generators of electrical oscillations;
1895.
Fire destroys his laboratory in New York;
1895-96.
Makes experiments with X-rays;
1897-98.
Applies his first patents on the wireless transmissions of energy; demonstrates the model of the remote-controlled boat. (It was the first experiment of the use of radio waves for remote control)
1899.
Builds the laboratory at the Colorado Springs and performs experiments with the high-frequency transformer (Tesla Coil) of 12 million volts;
1900 - 05.
Constructs his Transmitting Tower i.e. the aerial for "World Telegraph" at Long Island, Wardencliff, N.Y.C., intending to create the world-wide system for the transmission of information and energy;
1907.
Makes the first model of the turbine based on a new principle of the utilization of the energy of the fluid by the viscous friction.
1908.
The model of the new pump was tested in a factory of an American-British company;
1909.
Makes drafts and plans for aeromobile; makes first tests with the steam and gas turbines

1914.
Applies patents on several types of speed indicators; constructs new types of fountains etc.;
1917.
Works on the project of a turbo-generator

Co-operates with the Bud Co. on the production of automobile motors;
1928.
Applies patents for the vertically ascending aeroplane;
1930 - 35.
Studies the possibilities of the improvements in the production and processing of sulphur, iron and copper;
