Telsa is also a cautionary tale we should tell when it comes to the dangers of mental illness. He still had a lot to give to the world if not for it. He was so bad that, when he was seriously depressed, he actually self-administered his own version of electro-shock to change his mood which probably just made things worse.

I was taught very little about Tesla at school. Knowing what I’ve learnt about him since, I’m actually quite annoyed he was overlooked

As most geniuses, Tesla was underrated during his time, mainly because nobody can understand his genius. Good thing he is now known, and a consolation for him that all he was, was not in vain, like the life he lived and sadly how he died.

some people wonder if Tesla was a "high functioning Autistic" person. The ability of Tesla to imagine his inventions in 3D and perform experiments on these inventions in his head without building physical models was a big indicator.

You forgot to mention that in Edison's later years: he also became somewhat unhinged, believing he was being haunted by the spirits of the animals that he electrocuted (including an elephant).

Still doing the velvety smooth sponsor ad transitions I see. You got me. I got really interested in that security system and then I'm like, "wait a minute. They may have invented some of the building blocks of the security system we see but this isn't directly about Tesla or Edison!"

Incidentally, the dual-phase AC systems found in most of the Americas, Japan and Italy are modifications of Edison’s DC system of positive, negative and neutral lines. This setup is also used for higher voltage transmission globally, as it doubles the total voltage while keeping the line voltage difference from 0 smaller, increasing safety.

Edison didn't even invent the lightbulb, he invented using cardboard as a filiment. The idea for using an electricuted filament to produce light was already out there. All he did was try out some materials to get a viable one, repeatedly trial-and-erroring like a definition of insanity, and got lucky.

Just found this channel and love it!! Great content.

Nikola Tesla wrote an amazing autobiography titled My Inventions, it’s a short book but it’s witty and worth the read. I adore Tesla and all of his strange and quirky ways. People often make fun of him for his love of pigeons and one in particular which he nursed back to health. He said he loved her as a wife probably because he was a lonely man who never found love or married, which is kinda sad but not nearly as sad as his psychopathic rival who electrocuted cats, dogs, horses and an elephant in public only to prove himself wrong with D/C.

He had a lot more ideas and drafts of inventions that he never patented. In the thousands I believe. I always enjoy the story of the electric packard that he had an electric motor installed and then he had some people gathered to do a presentation. He came out holding a box with vacuum tubes and wires and what appeared to be an antenna. He hooks the contraption up to the electric motor and then flips a switch and say we have power. He cruised through the industrial yard and was said to have reached around 60mph. After he had completed his demonstration, one of the attendees comments that he must be using some witchcraft or something. Tesla was instantly angered by the comment and rips the box out of the packard and storms off. The box and any plan of the device was never seen again. So when everyone gushes about Elon Musk and his electric car bearing teslas name, I'm hardly impressed. When he solves the mystery of how tesla created the device to convert the atmospheric energy into a usable energy source that would allow the electric car unlimited energy to travel without any need to plug into a source of electricity, then ill have to say that the Tesla name is on a true innovation that he had created.

Imagine if they'd worked together..... (For longer that is)

Let's be clear here, Edison's so-called inventions were few and far between. He was fortunate enough to start that laboratory and hire young brilliant people who actually did the inventions that working under Edison was able to tale the patent and most of the credit. On the other hand, Tesla found himself unselfishly working for Edison improving many of the companies inventions and other cases thefts, and came up with many of his own inventions. The fact that Edison is only being called out now is that he was a cruel man and used 100's of brilliant people's ideas as his own. The additional fact that he electrocuted 100's of animals in public to try a scare the world away from alternating current should have had him hung in the city square. The light bulb that Telsa developed for his Westinghouse generators were far superior to the DC lightbulbs that Edison was producing for even a 6-year-old could make those today. Tesla was especially gifted and if he did not have to deal with mobster Edison and his goons doing everything to get rid of this country could have had a great many developments. In short, Edison was lying, stealing mob, scumbag.

Oddly, and somewhat ironically, the extremely high-voltage transmission lines of the Pacific Intertie, which are over 500 kV, are DC lines. Similar systems are in service in Europe and some locations of the British Isles. The experiment engineering was conducted in laboratories on Hat Creek in Northeastern California.

22:32 The first Radio-transmitter was the Spark-gap-transmitter in 1887 by German Heinrich Hertz! That's almost A DECADE before Marconi!

Don't forget that Tesla's 3 phase AC system worked from the box. And it still works in it's original design .Modern tech has brought a lot of improvements (remote controlling, higher transport voltages,more efficient transformers etc), but around the world you still have AC generators 100 years old connected to the grid. As for AC motor , Tesla didn't invent the first one.He invented 3 phase asynchronous motor , one that is still used in it's original design. That motor was and is the workhorse of the industry. Tesla was a nutty personality , but his intentions were good and with vision of improving the life of humanity , not his own pocket.

I'm subscribed to this channel for a long time now.. I'm from Serbia, and I had only one American in my house as a guest.. And he never heard about Tesla.. I'm electrical engineer..

Marko, that is simply ridiculous. Tesla was a gifted inventor and built upon the work of the true greats, Maxwell and Faraday - Who gave the world the whole of electromagnetic theory and practice. Not only that Ferraris was first inventing the polyphase AC motor and gave it free to the world...Tesla patented it... Einstein (as you mentioned him) simply dwarfed Tesla with his contribution to the understanding of the universe, as did Faraday and Maxwell. This is fact - looked at without preconception or bias, after all what would a world be like if we all made up stuff just because we liked the sound of it. I would go further and say he was a showman and self promoter and much of his reputation comes from this rather than any meaningful results from his work. He also got a lot wrong, especially about radio. He just didn't understand some of it. But I will not say that as it might upset some who have made up stuff in their heads about him.

There’s a reason Elon Musk named his company TESLA. America is greedy. America is crazy about those who only care for money and nothing else.

Tesla developed the AC systems and that was a stroke of genius. AC can be transmitted with little limitations of long distance. But later in life Tesla developed a fixation to deliver power to customer wirelessly. In his view, permanent lightinings were traversing the sky delivering power. This was the madness that destroyed him, as it alienated his financial supporter. Great video, thank you 42...

What was madness/witchcraft before is science now. Isn't Solar power and Wind generator somewhat a wireless concept? The beginning of the video explained the exact same thing. I wouldn't say Tesla was mad, I would argue that he's an exceptional inventor and great visionary. Yea, and Edison was more of a businessman than an inventor, but i think he should've even tried to pay Tesla the $50k. I think Tesla wanted the money to fund his experiments to create the AC generator and other thing and because he didn't get what was promised he developed a grudge, which is understandable.

The idea of transmitting power without all that expensive wire was an obvious step from his research in cheaper methods of power transfer. I'm not saying it was a good idea. Just saying it makes sense if he was trying to make it cheaper to deliver the electricity.

Hang on, so you give Edison credit for the first commercially viable incandescent bulb, but Tesla merely improved things other people did a little. Because someone already built an AC generator. Generator. Not motor, generator. Not really commercially viable, because there were no useful AC motors at that time, or indeed at all until Nikola Tesla invented the multi-phase AC motor. Tesla's invention of the multi-phase AC motor made the modern world possible!

The name originally was the "Edison General Electric Company" - When he sold out to the Morgan interests the "Edison" part was removed. T.A. declared that he would never darken the doorstep of a GE building after.

Another aspect of Edison's legacy is the existence of Hollywood as the centre of movie production. Originally based in the New York area, movie companies would often have their equipment destroyed by goon squads sent out by Edison, who felt he should be getting royalties for every movie made with "his" camera invention, even though he only altered the design of the originals. Attempting to get as far away from Edison as possible, early movie companies discovered California was a good distance from him and his marauders, but also the weather was much more agreeable to outdoor filming. The orange orchard that was the future Hollywood was close enough to the city of Los Angeles for convenience but also far enough away for more natural outdoor shooting areas that genres such as the western needed. At least until the arrival of sound in film, anyway.

I believe he even requested Tesla help him with a project ,promising to pay him a large sum and then when Tesla produced the gadget, laughed at him and told him he had been joking while still walking away with the design.
