Why didn't Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla get along?
Tesla vs Edison is a traditional science battle but long since past. Edison had a primitive DC current as opposed to Tesla AC, which is the usual current now a days. both sides had different designs for light bulbs, Tesla being better. Tesla got his 15 minutes of fame at the world fair. they used AC & Tesla's light bulbs. Edison was rich but Tesla died in the red. also tesla was a inventor more of the thinking type but edison was a tinkering man.
When did thomas Edison fight with Nikola Tesla?
Edison had a direct current generator that he could not work it properly. Tesla begun working for him. He was offered money to correct the equipment and he did in a short period of time. Edison was not man of his work so Tesla quit working for him. He got the patent of the direct current generator which without Tesla's help, he would not got it along with many patents he got which is the result of his employees he had at the time. Read the article I posted in the related links box below called the genius and the jerk. Since the 1870s, Edison began his campaign against Nikola Tesla. Second response. Thomas Alva Edison was the greatest inventor of all time. His 1,000 plus patents are an indication of Edison's brilliance.
Why did Nikola Tesla come to America?
He couldn't make the inventions he was planning on doing. Nikola Tesla arrived in New York on June 6, 1884, set out to look for the friend he would live with, stopped to do an engine repair job he happened to find along the way, and met with Thomas Edison, a meeting he described as "a memorable event in my life." He quit working for Edison and started his own laboratory.
Is Nikola Tesla the inventor of the light bulb?
Nikola Tesla was the inventor of ac/dc current flow along with machines using electricity. He was a electric genius.
What were Nikola Tesla's struggles along the way?
Actually his struggles were people who wanted to cash in with his inventions.
Did Nikola Tesla and Thomas Jefferson get along?
Nikola Tesla was born 30 years after Thomas Jefferson's death. Therefore it is impossible to ascertain whether or not they would have gotten along.

What problem did thomas Edison face regarding use of electricity and how did he solve it?
Edison had his electric incandescent light, but the greatest problem Edison faced with electricity was its distribution. Edison was a proponent of DC electricity. However, distributing DC electricity to the masses was expensive and, ultimately, proved impractical. George Westinghouse, along with one of the smartest people who ever lived (IMO), Nikola Tesla, proved that AC electricity was much more economically distributed. Tesla, at one time, worked for Edison but Edison found his AC ideas 'impractical.' Tesla thus went to work for George Westinghouse who, earlier in 1869, invented the airbrake for trains. This battle between Edison's DC electricity and Westinghouse's AC electricity culminated in 'The Battle of the Currents' in which George Westinghouse and his AC prevailed and why we use AC in the US to this day..
What problem did Thomas Edison face regarding the use of electricity?
Thomas Edison's problem was that few homes and businesses could get electricity. He solved this problem by building a power plant that began supplying electricity to dozen of New York City buildings in September 1882.
When did Thomas Edison invent electricity?
He didn't invent electricity, but a means to use it with things like the light bulb that differed from his closest competitor Tesla. No one invented electricity. Electricity was there all along in nature. Benjamin Franklin discovered that lightening was electricity.
Who received a patent on his invention of a longer-lasting light bulb?
Thomas Edison received such a patent, only to have it revoked, along with all of his other light-bulb patents, when it was discovered he had stolen the invention from the works of others.
How long did Nikola Tesla spend on each invention?
Contrary to the Mystique, Tesla was above all an engineer. Engineering was his education, his consuming passion, his daily practice. Tesla's inventing pushed forward relentlessly, sometimes oblivious to ruling-system interests and that is heroic. Tesla was exploited as the poster-boy for the emerging electric-power utility industry that was exploiting his AC inventions and in 1888 while Jack the ripper was commiting his horrible crimes, Nikola Tesla made a patent on his ac motor. Tesla invented the 60-cycle AC power system that runs civilization today, the dynamos, transformers, motors, regulators and arc lamps. This technology established, along with his own wealth and fame, Tesla went on inventing. A turning point was 1891, when Tesla applied for patent 462,418, a Method and Apparatus for Electrical Conversion and Distribution. This means that from 1888 - 1981, he had pioneer his expertice in ac, the system that stays until today. By 1944 Tesla's patent on the radio came forward. I assume you can calculate by now, how long did nikola tesla spend on each invention.
Did thomas Edison invent play-dough?
No it didn't come along until the 30's and was not marketed as a toy until 50's.
