Tesla is doing yourself
More than a hundred years ago, Tesla was only a flat and unmodorant name.
▲ Nikola Tesla
Compared to his enemy of his life – almost a household name in China, I didn’t know his existence.
When you mention him, someone will even say, the original Tesla is still a person?
More than 1,000 inventions in a lifetime, 11 Nobel Prize, 9 Letters, 2 Refuser, so achievement, absolutely can shoulder with Ai Di. AC, radio transmission, radio remote control, fluorescent lamp, radar … we now use almost all appliances to all electrical appliances, can be said to be closely related to Tesla.
One hundred years of past, people commemorate all kinds of ways, I think the most interesting one is the “Red Alert”, the “Tesla Coil” named after his name, that is, “Magnetic Storm”, Ruthlessly burnt soldiers, burning tanks.
All of this, I have to start from his year with Edison’s current war. In order to protect the huge interests of our power empire, Edison used the despiced mean to defeat this enemy.
In order to maintain its own rights, in order to maintain science and truth, Tesla did not hesitate to carry out the current war with Edison in the day, and finally took the pressure, staged a “truth to win the evil” countroper, will borrow Edison The altar, laid the status of the AC and established the basis of human civilization into the electrical era.

Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856.
Until 26 years ago, Tesla is just an ordinary engineer in Austria. At the age of 26, Tesla came to Paris to Work, designed and improved electrical appliances to Ai Di’s European branch, and quickly appeared, and won the favor of the company boss.

But the young Tesla’s ambition will not stop here – he has always had a dream, which is to design your own AC system. He will enter Edison’s company, in addition to the worship of the inventory, mainly he believes that I can help him achieve dreams.
Two years later, Tesla came to New York with his own dreams, and there was no other than the front boss’s recommendation of Edison. The letter is written in: “I know two great people, you are one of them, the other is this young man.”
There is a recommendation of the front boss, plus a few scenarius accumulated in the previous period, Edison hired Tesla. Tesla started a simple electrical design for Edison, and he made very quickly, and soon he was completely responsible for the redesign of Edison’s DC generator.

Edison promised, as long as Tesla completed this project, you can get a $ 50,000 reward. 50,000 US dollars, at that time, there was no great amount, and the salary of 18 US dollars at Tsela was calculated, he took 53 years to earn.
One year later, Tesla completed the project and invented 24 new technologies, and even a new DC generator design. All of these technologies are registered by Edison, making Ai Di gain huge profits.
But when Tesla requested that when he creded the $ 50,000, Edison’s answer was: “Tesla, you don’t understand our American humor.”
Edison’s words were unconfirmed to be angry. After the establishment of a commercial empire, I quickly accumulated an Edison of huge amount of wealth, and it would not help lost the direction in the tide of capital.
Tesla finally saw the true face of Edison – that great scientist, inventor, has become a person who has been stunned by money, and she is a picture of the figure. Most importantly, Tesla knows that this person does not tolerate the existence of AC electricity, because this will rush all the achievements he built on the DC system.
If the AC is replaced with direct current, what is Edison make money?
Tesla quickly resigned and chose a separate. In 1886, Tesla created its company-Tesla electric lamp and electrical manufacturing company, but soon because investors did not agree with the plan about the exchange of electric motors, they were removed. Tesla, which is a life, or even relying on the tuned channel to maintain its livelihood.
When Tesla was still persisted in the dream, another person also saw the brilliant prospects of the exchange of electricity, he was the founder of the West City, George, Westin. George is not only a businessman, but also a scientist, has invented the air brake of the railway and therefore hare.

Tesra and George can pay attention to the prospect of exchange of electricity, mainly because they are all doctrine, and the AC electricity needs a lot of mathematical calculations, and they can make the strengths of the AC electricity, this is also unpleassed. Edison can’t ratio.
In 1888, George found Tesla, two people were shocked, began to develop Tesla brewing six years of AC systems. A person has a technology, a person has funds, and half a year Hesla completed his AC power generator and achieved invention patents.
What is the advantages compared with DCC?
Although in modern society, due to the development of technology, the electricity we use now is a product after two points, but in Tesla’s era, the advantages of AC are far greater than DC.
At that time, because DC electricity losses too much, if you want to do remote transmission, you have to build a power station every 1 kilometer. The alternating current is different. By transformer, AC power can easily change the voltage to accommodate electric high voltage remote delivery and low voltage home applications.
The most important thing is that the cost of AC is lower than the direct current.
Therefore, the AC substitution direct current, it is inevitable at the scientific level at the time. This, of course, a batch of a batch of people who rely on the DC system to eat, including Edison.
Such as Edison in the day, began to attack Tesla by his Herfuri name, and crown in the name of “scientific abdomen”, a scientificism called “Current Wars” by later generations.
In August 1889, During the Paris Expo, Edison came to Paris. His main purpose is to promote some new invention, of course, mainly, and publicize the direct current power system. The participants of the World Expo are as high as 28 million, and Edison is not likely to let this opportunity.
For this time, Edison spent $ 100,000. His exhibits account for thousands of feet in the huge equipment hall, in the middle of all exhibits, there is a huge Edison bulb to surrounded countless ordinary small bulbs.
But the star of the venue is not an Edison big light bulb, but his new invention. In the six months held in the Expo, every day, there are countless audiences rushed from the world waiting for their own sounds on the gramophone, and the sensational effect can be imagined.
Represents backward direct current and represents advanced gramons, reflecting the A side and B side of the love. On the one hand, he is in the end of the old, and he does not hesitate to compress new technologies; on the other hand, he is still new technology.
▲ Edison and his gramophone
In the 3 months of Paris, Edison is not reported on the local newspaper, and you can’t print. In the end, Edison also won the honorary medal issued by the French government.
But Edison absolutely can’t think of, 1889 scenery will be no longer in 4 years.
The Paris Expo seems to be just the prelude of the current war.
In order to make people afraid of AC power, Edison spare no effort to promote the dangers of AC electricity. When the reporter’s face, he did a series of cruel experiments. First, a white ferrous panel is associated with an alternator of a 1000 volt voltage, and then put the kitten puppy on the iron plate, the kitten puppy will die in an instant. He even called Topji’s elephant with AC and killed electricity, and shifted the image.

Edison’s most crazy move is to destroy the exchange of electricity invented this death penalty tool. William Kemler is the first death row of the first electric chair.
Tesra, of course, did not wait for it.
In order to prove the security of the AC, he personally made a demonstration. He worked in a cork under the softwood, wearing a night dress, connecting the alternating current and light bulb with both hands, using the body to transfer electricity, lighting a bulb.
At that time, electrical or uncomfortable science, people don’t understand basic electrical theory, some electrical knowledge is even used by magicians to perform magic. This sighful-awaited entertainment activity is invisible to communicate with the AC is safe.
The final decisive battle was coming in 1893.
The World Expo will be held in Chicago, the sponsors of the exhibition decided to use the power supply system for the exhibition hall, which is the first time. Whether Edison has established General Electric companies under financial Tycoon Morgan, a West Room Company, which is Tesla, and I hope to get this opportunity.
This opportunity is finally obtained by the lower quoted Westernhouse.
On May 1, 1893, when the President Grove Cleveland pressed the button, the entire venue was lit by 90,000 colorful lights in an instant. At that time, the DC electricity could not be able to light so many bulbs at once. In the cheers of 100,000 viewers in the audience, the victory of the current war finally decided.
He is Nikola Tesla.

Will Tesla after winning, will it get rich because of the patents of AC,?
It is certain that if Tesla does not give up the patented fee of $ 2.53 per hodulation, he will be one of the most rich people in the world.
But he did not do this. In 1897, in order to get a sufficient funds to continue their invention, Tesla sold more than 40 patents on the exchange of electricity at a time of $ 2666 million.
There are a lot of guessing about this practice about Tesla. Some people say that he is no economic mind, and some people say that he is for human beings and selfless dedication, and the high wind brightest is really admirable.
No matter which speculation is right, Tesla’s contribution to the third industrial revolution is huge, and it is not bad than Edison.
Later Tesla, has always been in the road of inventions.
The radio technology mentioned earlier, although it is controversial inventive, 1943 US high courts gave the patent authority to Tesla.
▲ In 1898, Tesra inventive radio remote control boat.
Tesla’s early invented, biased towards pragmatism, but Tesla, old age, more than heaven, some ideas and theories, especially for future sense.
For example, in 1931, “New York Times” published “78-year-old Tesla discovered death beam”, “This new invention can concentrate the incredible energy of the particles to achieve an incredible energy, crossing the space to 10,000 thousands of more than 400 kilometers The enemy shot down. “Tesla description, the dead light can set the invisible Great Wall for each country, so that the war can not start.
This even more difficult ideas in the present now, although there are many people’s interests and arguments, no one funds him. Until 1937, it was necessary to start in Europe, and Tesla had sent technical papers and drawings related to the peaceful particles to many Allies, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France and the Soviet Union, and this papers first The secondary particle beam weapon has been technically described.
In 1957, the National Inventor’s Council in the United States still included dead light in the list of military inventions issued.
As for the magnetic storm wire, there is no model? It’s really true.
Entering the 20th century, Tesla opened in the wireless power supply technology, it is to say through the air communication current. In the process of experiment, he proved that the earth is a conductor and creates a human lightning.
In 1900, he picked up the production of Waden Kriforda, which was Tesra Tower, hoping to carry out an experiment across the Atlantic radio and radio energy transmission. Tesla was under the funding of Morgan, eventually built a high 187-foot tower, with a diameter of 68 feet in a diameter of 68 feet.
But with the dismount of Morgan, this study couldn’t. But until now, scientists continue to work on wireless power supply.
On January 7, 1943, Tesla was lost alone in a hotel in New York, and he had no wife, his debt was not born, and his debt is high, and it is only his scientific research. Before you die, Tesla is still studying in the death rays. After the death, all of his personal items were found, and the US government announced his research as the highest secret.
▲ Tesla’s ashes
Therefore, Tesla’s achievements are not known for the people at the time, until the 1990s, his achievements reappeared in front of the world.
In 2003, Martin Albendhard and Mark Tagpen found Tesla to commemorate Nikola Tesla.

postscript
From Tesla and Edison’s current war, we can get the most important revelation, which is the scientific authority. They can become an important force to promote scientific progress, and will also become a stumbling block that hinders human development.
Using science and technology to take advantage of interest, it is not very thick, but when you just want to use technology to take advantage of benefits, and when you have conflicts with the public, whether it is scientist, or a scientific organization, it will be added.
