Why is Nikola Tesla ignored by Science establishment?
Because Marconi is infinatly more recognized, even though Tesla was the true inventor of radio.
Do electric motors convert electricity into mechanical true or false?
yes it is true.
Is it true or not that on all small block Chevy's motors 1 piston is the furthest head forward?
yes, it's true.
Why noload current in big motors is higher than load current?
That is not always true.
Do all motors that use capacitors must have at least one run capacitor or a run and start capacitor true or false?
true
What did Nikola Tesla do after he lost the fight with Thomas Edison?
After Nikola Tesla left Thomas Edison's company, he went on to develop his own inventions and filed numerous patents for his groundbreaking work in electrical engineering and technology. Tesla also established his own laboratories and companies to further his research and innovation.
Are there tri-voltage motors?
On some motor nameplates you may see 120/208-240. These are not true tri-voltage motors. They are dual voltage motors with a leniency on the 240 volt range to be derated to run on 208 volts. At this voltage the current drops and you don't get the full horse power rating of the motor. To answer your question I have never seen one that would do true three voltages like 120/240/480.
Where did Thomas Edison go after his rivalry with Tesla?
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. 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.
The discovery of electromagnets led to the invention of electric motors?
Yes, the discovery of electromagnetism by Hans Christian Oersted in 1820 paved the way for the development of electric motors in the 19th century. By combining the principles of electromagnetism with moving parts, inventors like Michael Faraday were able to create the first functional electric motors. These motors revolutionized various industries by providing a reliable and efficient source of mechanical power.
Is Briggs Stratton going out of business?
Is the rumor true? Is Briggs Stratton going out of Business?? We were told not to by lawn mowers with the Briggs stratton motors.
How else did Nikola Tesla work with?
He worked as an employee with Edison. He quit working for him for not being true to his words and since he worked for himself with a few employees until he started working alone in the lastest phase of his life.
When was the spark plug invented?
The first knowned spark plug was invented on February 2, 1839 by Edmond Berger. i think There is a lot of controversy over who invented the spark plug-1839 by Edmond Berger, although he did not patient the idea.Another claim is Oliver Lodge, sometime in the 1850's-Lodge also claims to be the inventor of Wireless Communication, which is funny to me because Tesla won the patent right of the Radio upon his death, only after Marconi stated he "Based his models after tesla's original design". Tesla did this some 11 years before Marconi came up with the telegraph.In my opinion, I believe Tesla is the true holder of the invention-creating an electric igniter in the 1880's, He gained U.S. Patent 609,250.
