Tesla's research in the field of fountains
Апстракт
Tesla's abundant and interesting creative activity in the field of mechanical engineering has only sporadically been quoted in the greatest number of biographical depictions of his life and opus. Accordingly, such terms as e.g. turbines, pumps, fountains, speedometers or aeroplanes, often act confusing even on a connoisseur, deemed to be at least averagely informed about Tesla's inventions and discoveries. One of those less known achievements is his patent for the fountain. This Tesla's invention is different from usual solutions applied to fountains and aquariums of that time, where the fluid was sprayed or jetted with appropriate devices for decorative purposes. The abundant documents in the archives preserved in the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade demonstrate Tesla's great engagement in this-at first glance less significant-segment of his creative activity. This paper presents Tesla's work and achievements in the field of fountains. Using original archival documents, design solution...s, technical drawings, calculations, correspondence with companies and individuals, magazine articles and various brochures authors examine the scope of Tesla's research in this less known field. The authors also provide CAD models based on some of Tesla's original drawings of the fountains which are archived as part of his legacy in Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade.
