Inventors | Scientists

An inventor is a person who creates a new design, object or method. These new creations are called inventions and they are often considered necessary for societal advancement. An inventor can work across a range of disciplines. Everything you see that is human made has been invented by someone at some point. Important medical inventions are made by scientists, who are looking to find treatments for diseases and improve medical facilities and services. Entrepreneurs are often inventors of business; they look for opportunities to forward new innovation.

How do you become an inventor?

The various skills are needed to become an inventor including good timing, problem-solving abilities, and innovative ideas. An inventor must be witty and spend time researching products that consumers need, are not already in the market, and that will be used in everyday life.

What does a scientist do?

A scientist is in charge of gathering and performing research to increase knowledge in a particular area or subject of study. Scientists can make hypotheses and test them through different methods to form conclusions based on the evidence they gathered during their research trials.

What is the scientific method?

The scientific method is the technique used by scientists to gain knowledge, test research, and has helped the development of science since the 17th century. The scientific method is broken up into research, creating a hypothesis, testing with experiment, analyzing of data, and creating a conclusion based on the data found and observations.

Nikola Tesla
Height comparison diagram of Nikola Tesla compared to other scientists

Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American engineer best known for his invention of the first alternating current (AC) motor. His contributions would lead to the design of the modern AC electricity supply system. Born in the Austrian Empire in July of 1856, Tesla studied physics and math at University and continued on to experiment with multiple inventions. Although respected and a recipient of various medals and awards throughout his career, Tesla was unable to find the same long-lasting commercial and financial success as that of Thomas Edison. Fortunately, popular interest in Nikola Tesla and his work has emerged in recent years.

Nikola Tesla had a height of 6’2” (1.88 m).
