Did Thomas Edison take pictures of his inventions?
No, he didn't take pictures of it.
How long did nikolas teslas inventions take to be accepted by the society?
Well, despite all of his contributions to science, his name is little remembered outside the field of electronics and physics. In fact, Thomas Edison is often mistakenly credited in school textbooks with inventions that were developed and patented by Tesla.
Why did thomas Edison take the time to get patents for his inventions?
so he could show that he was talented to other people.
What did Nikola Tesla do after he lost the fight with Thomas Edison?
Nikola Tesla is also known as a great inventor and many people say he was more brilliant than Edison was. Edison is famous for inventing the phonograph, incandescent light bulb, cement making technology, motion picture camera, DC motors and electric power generation systems, battery and several other things we use every day and don't think much about. Tesla similarly invented radio, fluorescent light, AC motors and electric power generation systems. Both these men lived long lives, well into their 80s, at around the same time a century ago. There are big differences between Edison and Tesla. The main one seems to be based on who got the credit for what. Many Tesla fans accuse Edison of having stolen much from Tesla who worked for Edison during his early years. They claim Edison was a thief and that he died a rich and powerful man surrounded by friends because he robbed Tesla and others like him. Meanwhile, Tesla died broke and miserable and lonely with his closest friends being wild pigeons he had enticed into his room at the Hotel New Yorker. Edison fans similarly suggest Tesla was a swindler who deceived investors into financing his ideas with promises he rarely kept. They suggest Tesla got his just rewards. Both versions appear to be true. For example, Edison did not invent the light bulb. Joseph Swan was installing them in homes and landmarks in England years before Edison got his light bulb patented and working. Edison was buying out other people's patents and when Swan eventually sued Edison and won, Edison had to take him in as a partner in Edison's British company. Likewise, a deceitful Tesla managed to convince J.P. Morgan, the world's most powerful financier at the time, to finance his concept for wireless free electricity production under the guise of sending radio messages across the oceans and to and from ships at sea. Tesla was making artificial lightning with Morgan's money that was eventually cut off. Edison and Tesla came to technological blows in the late 1800s when Tesla's AC (alternating current) power systems that are used all over the world today came into competition with Edison's DC (direct current) power systems. As it turns out, Tesla's system was the better one.
Where did Nikola Tesla carry out most of his work?
When Tesla was 24 years old, he had a nervous breakdown while he was working in Budapest for the American Telephone Company. During his recovery period, he came up with the idea of a revolutionary method of generating electricity using alternating current. He called it the polyphase system. It would not be until many years later that he would develop the idea into a working system. Tesla then received a contract with the Edison Electric Company in France to help repair one of their electrical plants. After he completed the repairs, the company refused to pay the money it had promised him. Tesla angrily left the company. He decided to move to the United States to hopefully gain fame and fortune in the new American electrical industry. As with many of his projects, Tesla would concentrate and work for long hours each day to complete his projects. While Edison also worked long hours, he would often take cat-naps to refresh himself. Tesla, on the other hand, seemed to be able to work continuously. He also preferred to work alone. These factors may have contributed to his earlier nervous breakdown. After working on the project for a year, Tesla showed Edison an improved version of the dynamo, which would greatly help Edison's company, and for which Edison and his company would take credit. But when Tesla asked for the promised $50,000, Edison told him he was just joking about giving the money! Tesla quit and vowed he would never work for Edison again.

As it turns out, Tesla's system was the better one. Tesla's technologies were bought by railway air brake inventor George Westinghouse who developed them into what became the multinational Westinghouse company. Edison is the godfather of General Electric, presently the world's 12th largest company. Both these guys were prolific inventors and became famous for it. But comparing them on a point by point basis, the reasons why Edison died rich and famous while Tesla died broke and lonely become clear based on relative productivity.
How long did it take for Nikola Tesla to invent his inventions?
Tesla arrived in the United States in 1884, at the age of 28, and by 1887 had filed for a series of patents that described everything necessary to generate electricity using alternating current, or AC. This is used in homes and builduings. Tesla's coil patented in 1891, is the basis of today's wirelees communications.
What were Thomas Edison's character traits?
Thomas Edison was known for his determination, persistence, and innovative spirit. He was a hard worker who wasn't afraid to take risks and push boundaries in his pursuit of new inventions. Edison was also known for his practical mindset and ability to turn his ideas into practical, real-world innovations.
What was Thomas Edison's most talked about inventions?
Edisons most important inventions are the bulb, the pornograph and the improvement to the photograph camera.
How did Thomas Edison take A stand?
Thomas Alva Edison
How long did it take Nikola Tesla to make his first invention?
He moved to New York in 1884 and in the same year he fixed a problem that Edison had in his direct current system. Al thought the system was invented the fixing was an invention by itself.
Who stole the machine on mystery train island?
It turns out that they weren't going after Edison's device at all but Tesla's device. Tesla's device powers the ferris wheel, but the theif doesn't want anything incredible like the wheel at the fair so they take his device. SHE wants the Eiffel Tower to be greater. The theif is obviously the Female French Reporter.
