I'm sure others was moved by the example of Tesla. Nikola Tesla is finally beginning to attract real attention and encourage serious debate nearly 70 years after his death. He was attacked by Edison, whom we are taught in school to revere as a genius. He was also attacked by J.P. Morgan and other "captains of industry." Upon Tesla's death on January 7th, 1943, the U.S. government moved into his lab and apartment confiscating all of his scientific research, some of which has been released by the FBI through the Freedom of Information Act.

Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe. Throughout space there is energy. -- Nikola Tesla, 1892

What were the names of Nikola Tesla's other cousins?

How did Edison and Tesla know each other?

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.


Who found new ways to use electricity?

If you're talking about DC vs AC, the man who found the most ways to use electricity and should be considered one of the founders of modern electricity is Nikola Tesla. Despite what many schools teach, Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb. Nikola Tesla was the original inventor, Thomas Edison only adjusted it to be "sellable." Thomas Edison was an entrepreneur, not a scientist. He was interested in making money, not creating things. Nikola Tesla is practically the founder of all modern electricity, before Tesla we were using DC, which is direct current. This method was very inefficient, and required lots of power plants. Meanwhile, AC or alternate current, invented by Nikola Tesla, was much more efficient and it did not require a power plant every couple of blocks. Tesla even had a wireless version of the electricity - however Edison could not think of a way to make profit off of this, and therefore it was not implemented. To name a few of Tesla's inventions; radio, x-ray, radar, light bulb, remote control, electric motor, robotics, laser, and wireless. Many of his inventions were not implemented until later dates, and by people other than him over time who just did some tweaking.


What process did Nikola Tesla use to come up with electricity?

Tesla invented the alternating-current generator that provides your light and electricity, the transformer through which it is sent, and even the high voltage coil of your picture tube. The Tesla Coil, in fact, is used in radios, television sets, and a wide range of other electronic equipment - invented in 1891, no-one's ever come up with anything better.


Who developed the alternating current?

1884 Nikola Tesla invented the electric alternator, an electric generator that produces alternating current (AC). Until this time electricity had been generated using direct current (DC) from batteries. AC electrical systems are better for sending electricity over long distances as DC can only travel 5 miles at best.

How did Nikola Tesla became a genius of electricity?

When I learned that Nikola Tesla invented the radio, and not Marconi, I was shocked. Tesla also invented the electric generator, the electric motor, fluorescent lighting, alternating current and devised the technologies that generate and deliver our electrical power for our homes, schools and factories. The story about Nikola Tesla is the story of a genius who was largely disrespected and abused by other scientists and inventors -- many of whom stole his ideas and took credit for his discoveries. He became the genius of electricity because he had the Highest IQ of all the geniuses.
