Nikola Tesla’s Radio Controlled Boat

Nikola Tesla’s Radio Controlled Boat 

In the 19th century, Nikola Tesla demonstrated wireless control technology for devices for the first time. He controlled a toy boat using only radio waves, with no stringing wires at all! An advanced version of this technology is something we all use in our daily lives. Tesla was able to control the on-off condition of the propeller and angle of the rudder, thus gaining complete steering control of his boat. How was a pulse of electromagnetic waves able to cause mechanical movement? Welcome to a design journey in which we will understand Nikola Tesla’s genius thinking process in a simple way.
