Edison started what we called the current wars. He wanted to power the word with his Direct current motor which Edison could not work it properly. Telsa did made it work properly but Tesla's Alternate current motor is better. Edison started diffamation on Tesla. He electrified animals showing that his system is better which is was not.
Research shows that Edison had scientists working for him and Edison got the patents. Obiously he had envy towards Nikola Tesla.
One thing he was better that Tesla is the market strategies which he employed workers and then negleting the patents to be in their names. The only thing Edison invent for real, is the electric chair.

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.
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.

Did Thomas Edison win the Nobel prize?
No, he did not.
Where did nikola go after the fight with edision?
Thomas Edison's greatest challenge was the development of a practical incandescent, electric light. Contrary to popular belief, he didn't "invent" the lightbulb, but rather he improved upon a 50-year-old idea. In 1879, using lower current electricity, a small carbonized filament, and an improved vacuum inside the globe, he was able to produce a reliable, long-lasting source of light. So he said. Tesla worked for Thomas Alva Edison for 1 year At that time, the most important "inventor" in the world was named Thomas Alva Edison-the so-called wizard of Menlo Park.... Edison was credited with the invention of the DC dynamo and the electric light bulb . . . but the only thing he really invented was the ELECTRIC CHAIR!! Despite the fact that Tesla worked closely with Westinghouse, he still retained his own laboratory, and was very happy when he was working there. He continued to make new discoveries, one of which was a lamp that fluoresced, and was actually a forerunner of today's fluorescent tubes. These hit the market some fifty years after Tesla's prototypes! He also investigated many other phenomena including X-rays and a vacuum tube or valve very similar to the Audion or triode valve pioneered by de Forest in 1907.
Who developed the idea of a central electric power station?
This would have to be Thomas Edison, who invented coal fired power plants to supply the electricity to customers using his electric light bulb.There had been earlier coal fired electric plants to provide electricity for the earlier electric arc lights, but these were on a much smaller scale than Edison's.Before that there were illuminating gas plants producing many different gases for home and business lighting purposes.Note that the priority in all these cases was to provide lighting, not power for general use and the products could not be transmitted over long distances.It was Nikola Tesla that invented the high voltage AC power plant (his first one used hydroelectric power from Niagara Falls, not coal) and for the first time enabled electricity to be transmitted over long distances from the supplier to the consumer.Tesla first invented his AC system while he was an employee of Edison, but Edison rejected it as he did not want to make such expensive changes to his existing DC system in which he already had made a large investment. Tesla soon quit and was hired by Westinghouse, who soon gave him the chance to try his AC system in the Niagara Falls hydroelectric power plant. Tesla's AC system was soon demonstrated to require less initial investment and to operate more efficiently than Edison's DC system.Edison continued to fight the change from DC power plants to AC power plants, including a propaganda publicity campaign proclaiming AC to be more dangerous than DC and thus unsafe for household use, But eventually AC won and Edison's systems gradually converted from DC to AC.

What did Tesla and Marconi fight about?
Though history books continue to give Guglielmo Marconi credit for the invention of radio, Tesla's lectures on wireless broadcasting precede Marconi's radio patents by some three years. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the matter in Tesla's favor, and struck down Marconi's patent claim, in 1943.
