Steven,
Do some research instead of trying to get the information spoon fed. Start 
off by reading Margaret Cheney's wonderful biography of Nikola Tesla, 
Tesla: Man Out of Time. Get on the Internet and Google, Tesla biography 
read as much of the material found there as you can possibly cram in in the 
time you have before the project is due. I don't mind helping you at all, 
in fact, I enjoy helping people with the desire to learn and to put in the 
work required to gain that knowledge for themselves. There is no substitute 
for doing your homework!!! Best regards.
Paul Brodie
