Edison is known for the most stolen patents in history. He did work the direct current motor but it caused a lot of problem. People got electrocuted and there were many fires caused by that. Tesla fixed the problem but Edison did not pay sum offered.
Nikola Tesla.
Nikola Tesla was a very modest man. Unlike his rival Thomas Edison, Tesla was very quiet about his inventions and kept to himself. Edison publicized his inventions, which is one reason why he is more famous than Tesla. Tesla had many phobias and quirks, like he was disgusted with jewelry and was obsessed with the number three. Another way that he was modest was that he was celibate. Even though many women dearly loved him, Tesla thought that by being celibate he would be a better scientist. He was a very quiet person and was never arrogant about his inventions. Not only knowledgeable in science, but also enjoyed things like philosophy and poetry. Edison received more credit than Tesla simply because Tesla never bragged about his inventions and was incredibly modest.
Nikola Tesla worked for Edison making the Edison Direct currrent machine workable because Edison and his scientists could not make it work properly. Edison was not good to his word and negleted the promise money he offered. Nikola parted his way and now we have his inventions.
In terms of their contributions to electrical engineering, both Tesla and Edison made significant impacts. Tesla's inventions laid the foundation for modern AC electrical systems, while Edison is known for his work on the incandescent light bulb and DC electrical systems. Ultimately, their legacies are both important in the history of technology.
Actually they were and are used today in modern technologies. It was the scientist Tesla who was obscured after his death. Alva Edison made that a daily routine since his electrical machine was proved not worthy.
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.
Edison was working on an direct current motor when Tesla began working for him. He couldn't make it work properly and he offered 50 thoundands dollars if he could fix the machine. That was a easy job for Tesla. Once he finished it, Edison took the offer back stating that it was a joke. Tesla took off inmediatly. The next thing Edison did, he took the patent for the direct current motor.
"The Fantastic Inventions of Nikola Tesla" is not a specific work or creation by Tesla himself. Tesla was known for numerous inventions and innovations throughout his lifetime, including alternating current (AC) electricity, the Tesla coil, and wireless power transmission.
Thomas Edison was a patent clerk and used this advantage to steal many inventions and claim them as his own.
In the "War of Currents" era (sometimes, "War of the Currents" or "Battle of Currents") in the late 1880s, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. resources: wikipedia
Math plays an important part in all Tesla's inventions but his inventions fall into the electricity inventions category.
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.
