6pm Tesla talk by Avram Balabanović 2023 was the 80th anniversary of the death of Nikola Tesla (1856-1943). We associate Tesla with brilliant inventions such as the brushless induction motor, electrical power distribution systems based on multiphase alternating currents, fluorescent and neon lights, wireless communication, remote control and robotics (which he called ‘teleautomatics’). On 3 February 1892, Tesla gave a lecture entitled ‘Experiments with Alternate Currents of High Potential and High Frequency’ at the Royal Society in London.
7pm Concert by guitarist/composer Branco ‘Several of my CD albums and compositions have been dedicated to Tesla – along with the tunes and short talks I give about him at my recitals. Tesla’s inspiration was also the Sun. Indeed, the Sun whispered to Tesla how to create his Rotating Magnetic Field and AC motor. It is also the Sun that inspires my music, hence the latest album release, titled Whispers From The Sun. That sums it all up. Thank you Sun! Thank you Tesla!’ © B. Stoysin
