Edison was a greedy man. Most of his patents were done by his employees and he claimed the patent. Even the direct current motor was a thing he could not get it to work right. Tesla had it ready in a heart beat and Edison was not a man of his work and didn't pay Tesla for his work. Edison has the highest inventions stolen from the righteous owners.

How did thomas Edison get along with Nikola Tesla?

Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla had a professional rivalry. Edison favored direct current (DC) electricity while Tesla championed alternating current (AC) technology. This led to conflict between them, especially during the "war of the currents." Despite this, they both respected each other's work and contributions to science and technology.


How long did Nikola Tesla work with Thomas Edison?

Nikola Tesla worked for Thomas Edison for about a year in the 1880s before leaving due to disagreements over payment and differing opinions on electrical technology.


What was the war of currents between thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla?

The War of Currents was a rivalry between Thomas Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electricity distribution and Nikola Tesla's advocacy for alternating current (AC). Edison claimed DC was safer, while Tesla argued that AC was more efficient for long-distance power transmission. Ultimately, AC prevailed as the standard for electricity distribution due to its ability to be easily transformed to different voltages.


How did Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla meet?

Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla met when Tesla started working for Edison at his company, Edison Machine Works, in 1884. Tesla made significant contributions to the company, but the two inventors had contrasting views on electricity and eventually parted ways due to disagreements on alternating current versus direct current.


What is the conflict between Nikola Tesla and Edison?

Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison were opponents in The Battle of the Currents, the rivalry between Tesla's alternating current (AC) system for electricity and Edison's direct current (DC) system for electricity. AC 'won' the battle, the current is far more effective. This means that all electricity used today travels by AC, not DC. All DC is used for anymore is batteries.
