If you work for a company in research and development, and you create a new energy source who owns it? The company you work for. Want credit for your work then you must take the financial risk. Broke dreamers dont have the resources to produce results.
Fascinating oversight, intended to try to conceal his genius. Now because it's uncomfortable, we don't want to teach the very real and known American history, calling it critical race theory. It's not that difficult, the hate is still with us. Tesla, brilliant and his intelligence should not be ignored.
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.
our shitty country the philippines stl has edison plastered all over children's and high school textbooks, no mention of tesla whatsoever that's how backward we are, I learned abt tesla by reading in a proper library at 8 years old
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).
"Just"? Inventions and patents are nothing without businessmen, who turn them into products and do business with them. There's no question about it that Tesla was more ingenious inventor and unparalled genius, but that's just one way of viewing the matter.
Tesla was not about the wealth he was more about helping the human race to have the access to technology that would make life easier. And he was declared a heretic for his ideology and was shunned by the greedy powerful elite. It's a tragedy that such a great innovator had ended his life in the conditions that he was living in.
Tesla never even knew what an electron was. And had ZERO expertise in particle physics or any such thing. Unfortunately, his name has been adopted by dumbass conspiracy threorists, who claim he invented all kinds of crap that doesn't, and cannot exist.
“How does it feel to be the best __________?” “I don’t know, ask ___________.” If you don’t know by now that this line is an urban myth template that’s been attributed to many different people over the years, I feel sorry for you.
Maybe James Clerk Maxwell was dead at this point, but Einstein most definitely thought Maxwell as the cleverest scientist he knew- he always had a picture of JCM in his office.
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.
Little disappointed that the video didn't go more into teslas history. But seeing the comments here and how a lot of people see Tesla as the genius that he was, gives me hope.
Thank god you mentioned Westinghouse, nobody ever gives him as much credit as the other two, because quite frankly Tesla couldn’t have afforded to do any of his work without him.
Tesla was abused his whole life and died in poverty. His life is one of the saddest stories ever told. We just lost one of the greatest minds ever because people suck, being genius is not enough. :/
I don't agree with you about that! He definitely deserved recognition and money, and it must have hurt, being cheated the way he was. It's a pity he's not alive to see how the pendulum has swung back in his favour, and is tragic, yes, but given the choice I would opt for the latter !
At least, Tesla left a legacy and generations will remember his name long after he’s passed on. The vast majority of humanity has not and will never make such an impact.
If you go read enough history Tesla invented the radio first. In modern times it's commonly been re-accredited to him. And he had millions of other inventions that were not discussing here including the Tesla valve which is being reinvestigated today for water and fluid flow and it's proving out to be better than anything we've designed in the computer age.
Yes, he DID invent radio first, and it was his effort to be of service to humankind that did him in. His financial backers were only interested in how much money they could make.
Since Thoughty2 really weakly covered Teslas Inventions here are a few: 1. The Tesla Coil 2. the Magnifying Transmitter 3. the Tesla Turbine 4. The Shadowgraph 5. The Radio 6. The Neon Lamp 7. Niagara Falls Transformer House 7. Radio Controlled Boat Totally he has around 196 patents across the world. Man was a true genius. It's not even FAIR to put him at the same category as Edison. Edison was a business man and Tesla was an inventor!
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.
Don't forget Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower---It was Tesla's vision to provide free wireless electricty...and it worked. Edison saw no advantage to give anybody free anything so he sabotaged Tesla's invention. Now over 100 years later, we all pay for electric gaged by meters that run off lines. OLD TECH.
And had done so with his patent control of all relevant technology etc. / writing at this time (i.e.,now 2/9/2021) of this grand misbehaving of titans of the modern world. Oh, well we get our A.C. and little block looking things convert the a.c. to D.C. at whatever voltage our devices require! What a deal some of these"power supplies"really are!
I always love your scientific explanations. The ability to sum up the major points without innundating the viewer with massive amounts of information cannot be understated. Massive kudos sir
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. Fuck Edison, team Tesla forever!!!
"Fuck Edison, team Tesla forever" Yup! I have a Tesla coil in my kitchen. There's nothing Edison came out with, that is comparable. But it may depend whether you like electricity, or fear it.
The answer to who was smarter is clear. Anyone who can see light coming out of a pigeons eyes is clearly a man of rarest vision. Mark me down for Tesla.
@@thefinalroman Tesla was a genius, Edison was a businessman. I'll just mention how he created a campaign to keep people using DC so he continues to profit by using AC current to kill elephants publicly to show how dangerous it is. Ideas that Tesla came up with were 100 years ahead of his time and thats why one of today's greatest minds calls his car company Tesla and not Edison
@@electronresonator8882 And Radio, and wireless power transmission, remote control, earthquake machines, and great cars. And he can dig a ditch like nobody's business, and so can I.
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.
Corporations actually got together to make light bulbs inferior compared to what they were, there is a light bulb somewhere, it should be close to 175 yrs old and is still working
Edison is probably the most overrated person in history. He wasn't inventor. He was businessman abusing inventors and taking credit. That's literally it. We should just stop talking about him.
@Legendary Knight > How could a sane person kill so many innocent animals just for money and fame. Different times. Even great philosophers renowned today for their humility didn't seen anything wrong with slavery back then. I agree with the rest though.
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!"
@@artdehls9100 stole? You have to ask yourself, to what end? The man ripped out his royalty contract from Westinghouse out of principle. I don't see a man with the capability to steal something dying penniless.
@@Ebani He never said that Edison wasn’t a bad person, just that he was pretty successful when you look at him from a business perspective. With all due fairness, that’s kind of what business is like all over the world. Cutthroat and very scummy at times
@@electronresonator8882 The world will end bc of capitalism, it has killed more than half of the world's living organisms already and soon climate change will destroy most of what's left. Edison must be proud
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.
I mean, he wasn't completely wrong. Or at least he was on the right track. Solar can basically be considered power (that can be) delivered wirelessly from permanent light traversing the sky.
@@chere100 He wasn't trying to generate energy wirelessly. He was trying to deliver energy without cables in large amount over long distance. This was the sign of ill mental health, and upon knowing this, the bankers withdraw their support.
@@antoniomaglione4101 I have to disagree. He was ahead of the game with Edison because the AC system was the cheaper system for transmitting the power. 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.
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.
But did Edison actually invent those two legs on hinges on the back of a chair to prevent it from falling backwards, or was that Homer Simpson after all?

@@mogim815 Lol original writings from Tesla himself are the only sources that count.Go read his books then send me your apology. Telsa was a nobody freak who had severe mental issues while Edison was a genius who brought people together to make inventions for the people not a lab experiment for scientists that had no practical use or commercial success. The fact is the $50,000 wasn't Edison,Tesla never claimed free power,(His lie was wireless), Tesla didn't even invent the Tesla coil like Edison didn't invent the lightbulb. They both made a better version,There was no war with Tesla he was a minor employee doing creepy shit with birds, The real battle was Edison vs Westinghouse then it was JP Morgan vs Edison
@Islomiddin Khakis or NOPE he got so crazy before he died he married a bird and went insane died alone a loser. And no he had NOTHING to do with bringing us 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!
Tesla did actually invent plenty of things but the government confiscated some of it along with his notes. Some of his work was also destroyed when his lab burnt down.
@@MrYoungzay I think it might be in part due to nationalism, portraying edison as a great american hero, while tesla was a foreigner. But true genius and truth always shows itself, one way or the other. Just look at elon musk, even he has to say he favors edison even though he named his company tesla. And that company is changing the world, just as tesla did all those years ago. It's poetic really :)
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.
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.. My high school was named Nikola Tesla in Belgrade.. I remember when I was in elementary school.. Going to National competition in physics.. I've got a book about Nikola Tesla.. The point is.. How the F... You guys don't appreciate Tesla?? And don't learn in school about this dude? And Einstein is the greatest mind in history?! Tesla Is above everyone!
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.
The answer to that is politics/ capitalism. I mean look at how much hate there is to Tesla the “automaker” that just so happens to also build their own computer ships, Ai, solar roofs and solar storage, car insurance etc etc and is 100% American company...and build 90% of their parts in their electric cars unlike other more “profitable” companies. 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.
@@martinda7446 They once asked Einstein - What is like to be the smartest guy alive and he replied "I don't know, you will have to ask Nikola Tesla". You know they worked together on a project right? In this video they don't really speak much about Tesla's inventions...
Leonardo Da Vinci.42 already made a vid about this and i agree with him on this topic.Sure Tesla was a genious but Leonardo was hundreds of years in front of his time.Everyone knows about relationship between Tesla and Edison but fail to understand that without that relatiinship world would be different place for sure.Pozzz iz Hrv.
"... _and, founder of the company that would later become_ *General Electric* ." Actually, that claim requires a bit of qualifying. You see, on the day when that new name was declared, the board of directors simultaneously *threw Edison out of* HIS OWN COMPANY.
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.

I wish Tesla could see the world of today. He might be disappointed by the people, but the technology would be a wonderful progression of his ideas and dreams.
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.
Steve Jobs really was just an invention thief also. Apple lost case after case when it tried to say they invented something. Apple invented nothing. All their products were invented far before they marketed it.

Profit is ALWAYS important. 1. What good does it do to invent anything useful that could’ve made you rich just to then live and die broke? 2. He could’ve used the money to help others if he didn’t want it himself. 3.

@@bhf4972 Thats a very blanket statement. Money should be focused on first and foremost before you're capable of supporting yourself.

And not that differently than the poor person you mentioned. In face of death we should unite to help those in need with what we have or know. It's like you are saying, I can't raise my hand without money. That mentality is so soul crushing. And who said we are here to achieve something? No goals are better, because when you focus on one thing, you miss what is really going around right there and then. And that is important.

When a disaster struck, only past friendship and family helped me, and ofcourse a friendly stranger. Be a friendly stranger.
I saw so much negativity toward Tesla on Quora, something in the line of “he’s fake, he’s overrated, or he stole others’ credit”, so I never paid attention to the guy. But man, he’s such an honest, smart, integrity man. He could be Bill Gate or Elon Musk if he was not such an honest person.

But they took down his tower because he lied about what he was building (and greedy people can't charge others for electricity if everyone can access it) he was obsessed with 3 6 and 9. From what I remember it held a great importance to him. He created the idea of the electric car. Created the first motor with a magnetic field. This guy is a legend and he doesn't get enough credit.
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.
Edison had a factory full of scientists to invent for him, then took the credit. Tesla did the inventing in his head and got no credit. Edison was clever and manipulative. Tesla was a genius and insane. Edison was trying to make himself rich. Tesla was trying to improve science. I think Tesla had the moral high ground.

Yeah mate, this video is a poor telling of these two "scientists". Edison was a cunning businessman, and Tesla was a somewhat naieve Genius inventor. Tesla's carelessness lead to alot of theft of his work in many areas.
Telsa's life highlights the importance for scientists to learn a thing or two about business. Sadly, we don't have any mandatory business courses in the science majors at my university😣
No matter how smart someone is, there will always be a slick businessman who takes all the credit and money. That's how Bill Gates became a billionaire and why Apple is now more associated with Steve Jobs than Steve Wozniak.
The best scientists and the best artists are unable to divide their mind to also become good business people. They need a trustworthy business partner, someone who believes in them.
@@MrYoungzay ...then your invention will be bought - and shelved by the competitor of your invention who has much to lose if the invention is successfully manufactured and distributed as it was designed. Your patent is only as secure as the money you can invest to defend it, unfortunately. But I don't think these sorts of injustices are limited to the USA. The French had long-term ongoing activist demonstrations every weekend in 2018-19 protesting large corporations being paid by public taxation for transitioning to "cleaner" manufacturing. This is why the "Carbon Tax" is going to happen in the USA - a similar solution. It's also why the reasons for these ongoing French demonstrations were kept out of the US news. Carbon Taxation is a corporate scam splendidly justified by pseudo-environmentalists who say it's a "Climate Change" solution - people aren't going to realize what Carbon Tax really represents because of this "doublespeak." Essentially, the Carbon Tax will be paid by the public in the form of "subsidies" to the Corporations who stand to lose out as alternative energy is developed and implemented. The Corporations who benefit, will then pass on their (subsidized) increased costs to their buyers as a business expense - so the Corporations will get double benefits. Those corporations believe they need to get paid to make the transition to "green" energy solutions. Otherwise, these big companies aren't going to allow the progress of environmentally cleaner power and manufacturing to happen. Just as they have been buying and shelving any invention threatening their business...for decades.

@5:00 nice Friends reference 😂 As for Edison, he wasn't an inventor but an investitor, and a pretty shady one. Ie: the 1st movie camera. His was designed by one of his employee in 1891, a couple of month after the disappereance of Louis Le Prince who had built a working camera by the end of 1890. His son was even asked to testify against Edison for the american mutoscope company over when his father invented his camera.

Are you kidding me? "Progressives" around the world are screaming socialism, the precursor to communism and Marxism. Never in my life did I think it would take hold in the USA. Never underestimate the power of free commodities to sway the thoughts of the poor to place themselves in willing chains.
My understanding is that Eddison employed people to research stuff and then claimed the inventions as his own because of the way he had written the employment contract. 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.
Edison's DC system could have been perfected for individual power independence, but that would probably have got monopolized just like Tesla's AC system. They both knew about advantages and disadvantages of both systems. What we see today represented through photo voltaic systems is mainly based on Edison's DC in conjunction with Tesla's AC. Energy, however , can not be ''spent out'' just like that but rather transformed from one form to another. Speaking in terms of engineering, Tesla was more innovative and knowledgeable then Edison because his perceptions of energy were far greater then of any human mind of that time, even of minds of our current time. Sadly, only nowadays we come to see development of Tesla's projects for which he was marked a wacko back then. And sadly, had Tesla's energy projects been implemented at the time when he presented them, perhaps humanity would have never gone through WW2 or some other blood thirsty war around the globe. Anyway, both Edison and Tesla must be paid necessary tribute and recognition for their contribution to prosperity of human kind, but Tesla being one of the most innovative and scientifically prosperous inventor of all times surely deserves more of it then Edison.
It's not even close Nedzade. I still can't understand why are we glorifying a manipulator like Edison. Only one reason, it's not what's your product or invention, it's all about how are you selling it. Marketing and manipulation > invention itself. Sad but truth even nowadays. Pozdrav.
My grandfather, born in 1903, mentioned to me while we watched Andy Rooney playing Edison in a movie. Edison was not a nice man. For my grandfather to make that statement, I remembered it. Only time I ever remember him saying anything negative about someone.
Crazy how little we appreciate we live in the magical realm of past fantasy. We complain when our amazing phone goes too slow LOL🤷♂️🤦♂️ Depends on how smart is defined. Each had their genius. But Tesla was a lot cooler.
A lot of great minds in history were completely unhinged. Scientists, psychologists in particular, believe that's the driving force that makes their brains so unique. What blows my mind is how could the man who held the patents for the AC motor not reap the financial gains of such? Thomas Edison was a genius entrepreneur, knowing how to convert his patents into enormous profits, while Nikola Tesla never cared much for being wealthy, choosing instead to the thrill of discovery through painstaking experimentation. This is the reason Tesla gave George Westinghouse a pass on royalties for using his AC Motor when constructiing that hydroelectric dam in Niagara Falls. Thus, these two men were complete opposites. But unlike the laws of electromagnetism, these two opposites never did attract each to the other.

Fascinating oversight, intended to try to conceal his genius. Now because it's uncomfortable, we don't want to teach the very real and known American history, calling it critical race theory. It's not that difficult, the hate is still with us. Tesla, brilliant and his intelligence should not be ignored.
Seems like the worst assholes usually get most of the credit in our historical teachings
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.
our shitty country the philippines stl has edison plastered all over children's and high school textbooks, no mention of tesla whatsoever that's how backward we are, I learned abt tesla by reading in a proper library at 8 years old
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).

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
Edison was just a businessman and took other peoples work, But Tesla had the brains to experiment and make things.
"Just"? Inventions and patents are nothing without businessmen, who turn them into products and do business with them. There's no question about it that Tesla was more ingenious inventor and unparalled genius, but that's just one way of viewing the matter.
Tesla was not about the wealth he was more about helping the human race to have the access to technology that would make life easier. And he was declared a heretic for his ideology and was shunned by the greedy powerful elite. It's a tragedy that such a great innovator had ended his life in the conditions that he was living in.

EINSTEIN SO GENUINE
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.
Little disappointed that the video didn't go more into teslas history.
But seeing the comments here and how a lot of people see Tesla as the genius that he was, gives me hope.
On the other hand, many fail to see that Tesla had issues, & is often seen as a father to things that never was to be.
Totally agree, this wasn't a fair or accurate representation of Tesla, and a glorified version of Edison.
Thank god you mentioned Westinghouse, nobody ever gives him as much credit as the other two, because quite frankly Tesla couldn’t have afforded to do any of his work without him.
Westinghouse would’ve went out of business without Tesla, that’s why they were friends.
They both owe each other equal thanks.

At least, Tesla left a legacy and generations will remember his name long after he’s passed on. The vast majority of humanity has not and will never make such an impact.

@@martinda7446 So the OP is wrong on every point? Prove it!
If you go read enough history Tesla invented the radio first. In modern times it's commonly been re-accredited to him. And he had millions of other inventions that were not discussing here including the Tesla valve which is being reinvestigated today for water and fluid flow and it's proving out to be better than anything we've designed in the computer age.
You mean "watch enough TH-cam"
no he didn't
Yes, he DID invent radio first, and it was his effort to be of service to humankind that did him in. His financial backers were only interested in how much money they could make.

Totally he has around 196 patents across the world. Man was a true genius. It's not even FAIR to put him at the same category as Edison. Edison was a business man and Tesla was an inventor!
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.
42 is truly an idiot. He has no original thoughts. Not one. He can only spout what he reads on Wikipedia.

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.

Nikola was his name.
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.

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.
I mean, he wasn't completely wrong. Or at least he was on the right track.
Solar can basically be considered power (that can be) delivered wirelessly from permanent light traversing the sky.

@@antoniomaglione4101 I have to disagree.
He was ahead of the game with Edison because the AC system was the cheaper system for transmitting the power. 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.
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.

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.
The answer to that is politics/ capitalism.

He might be disappointed by the people, but the technology would be a wonderful progression of his ideas and dreams.
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.
Sounds like Bill Gates is more like Edison.
Yet another good thing that came from someone trying to escape from this monumental POS
That's another major reason people despise Edison now. The man wanted a monopoly on film and was pretty tyrannical in his methods.
That's interesting. Thanks for sharing

tesla's love for science and inventions has more weight because he didn't care about profit. edison on the other hand focused on money.
Profit is ALWAYS important.
1. What good does it do to invent anything useful that could’ve made you rich just to then live and die broke?
2. He could’ve used the money to help others if he didn’t want it himself.
3. He could’ve used the money 💰 to fund other projects that he needed financiers for, the financiers rejected some of his ideas that could’ve changed humanity and because he couldn’t fund them himself had to scrap them.
@@MrYoungzay it is important but you cant put it before everything else
@@bhf4972 Thats a very blanket statement. Money should be focused on first and foremost before you're capable of supporting yourself. To say money shouldnt be put before everything else is just dumbing it down to the bare minimum, money SHOULD be before everything else UNTIL you have the money to support yourself and what you do. After that point money will no longer be important, but if you think money isnt above everything else, talk to a poor kid in the chiraq ghettos living a hellish life.
@@nom6758 So you're saying that money should be put before all else? Including putting it before NOT murdering animals to make higher profits?

Hey I sure do hope its okay with you that I prefer to think thoughts which are not stupid instead of following your rules. Is that okay with you? If not I guess I will just have to find some way to live with that and move on with my life of not being a fucking imbecile. -_-
@@nom6758 Oh boy, there are societies that have lived without money. I would love that kind of lifestyle over the need of money. I love helping others. I just wish we would help each other out more without asking or needing money. If we want freedom, it starts with word "free". Why are we so obsessed with money and status? You will die. And not that differently than the poor person you mentioned. In face of death we should unite to help those in need with what we have or know. It's like you are saying, I can't raise my hand without money. That mentality is so soul crushing. And who said we are here to achieve something? No goals are better, because when you focus on one thing, you miss what is really going around right there and then. And that is important. You might be taught to get financially free, but that could easily cost you real connection and love from your family. It easily happened to me. When a disaster struck, only past friendship and family helped me, and ofcourse a friendly stranger. Be a friendly stranger.
I saw so much negativity toward Tesla on Quora, something in the line of “he’s fake, he’s overrated, or he stole others’ credit”, so I never paid attention to the guy. But man, he’s such an honest, smart, integrity man. He could be Bill Gate or Elon Musk if he was not such an honest person.

@Lany Lany we do the same here in Botswana, but with Tesla, in his own words "I loved that pigeon as a man loves woman, and she loved me."
I'm writing a science fiction story that explains Tesla's preoccupation with pigeons, their hematite and how they interact with time travelers which makes it clear he wasn't actually in love with a pigeon as you would love a woman...

Tesla literally invented wireless electricity. But they took down his tower because he lied about what he was building (and greedy people can't charge others for electricity if everyone can access it) he was obsessed with 3 6 and 9. From what I remember it held a great importance to him. He created the idea of the electric car. Created the first motor with a magnetic field. This guy is a legend and he doesn't get enough credit.
also, Tesla multiplied a lot of bread and fish somewhere, if I recall it right
Wrong lol they already had electric cars
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.
Edison had a factory full of scientists to invent for him, then took the credit. Tesla did the inventing in his head and got no credit.
Edison was clever and manipulative. Tesla was a genius and insane.
Edison was trying to make himself rich. Tesla was trying to improve science.
I think Tesla had the moral high ground.
Tesla was not insane he was just gifted beyond measure and no one could understand him and the women that did try to take advantage of him we’re only interested in his inventions for the money it would allow them to spend
Therefore Tesla actually Mutilated his own manhood-
At; some point in his young life…
I am sure ,
many women , mostly rich ,& board housewives)…where trying to take advantage of him ;
simply because he was able to provide them with a large source of money, that they didn’t earn…
And; Late in his life ?
he actually showed himself to a reporter ; he had done
Self mutilation)….To himself; ….
and lamented that he wished he had someone in his life :…Late;, in his life….
Sadly;
He was able to see “through the antics”
of these wealthy - greedy women …
Therefore ;
they repelled him because of their greed…
and ,Nicola;
came to do be …”disgusted by them”
Just Imagine;
how many more inventions he would’ve had …
had he really,
found true love ,
and mutual respect…
Sadly;
He was …”driven crazy”;
by the money hungry world …
that was trying to destroy him,
And take the credit ;
for what was inside of his mind :
all along….
Tesla ;
like Many- genius’s…
had an “explosion of ideas”
going on his mind /anytime he was awake !…
and even ;
when he was asleep!….&
He woke up and started drawing;
ideas he envisioned -in his sleep…
@@johnswartz2423 Nah, he def showed signs of extreme OCD (walking around buildings 3 times before going in etc...) and he also... talked to birds and had visions. There is a fine line, maybe even a blurred line between insanity and genius. To be really greats, requires a bit of both. Allows you to see things sane people don't. I.E a Difference perspective
@@EC-dz4bq if you've ever worked 18 hours a day for months and months getting 3 hours of sleep a night max, this starts to become normal. I started seeing and hearing shit, started acting weird as fuck, didn't talk to birds but would constantly mutter to myself and became weirdly obsessive over small details that didn't matter akin to his 18 napkins thing.
I believe his habit of sleeping even less than I did is what made him insane rather than any deep rooted mental health issue.
Ive never heard a telling of these events in this much detail and intrigue. Thoughrouly enjoyed it!
Actually, he painted Edison in quite the romantic light compared to his real life character. Evil was surely Edison's middle name.
Yeah mate, this video is a poor telling of these two "scientists". Edison was a cunning businessman, and Tesla was a somewhat naieve Genius inventor. Tesla's carelessness lead to alot of theft of his work in many areas.
Telsa's life highlights the importance for scientists to learn a thing or two about business. Sadly, we don't have any mandatory business courses in the science majors at my university😣
No matter how smart someone is, there will always be a slick businessman who takes all the credit and money. That's how Bill Gates became a billionaire and why Apple is now more associated with Steve Jobs than Steve Wozniak.
The best scientists and the best artists are unable to divide their mind to also become good business people. They need a trustworthy business partner, someone who believes in them.
2:47 definitely thought he was racking up a line there
Lesson: If you have a revolutionary idea or invention that will make you rich - DO NOT TELL AN AMERICAN!!
Jelly much
Or just patent it 1st and then find a financier
@@MrYoungzay ...then your invention will be bought - and shelved by the competitor of your invention who has much to lose if the invention is successfully manufactured and distributed as it was designed. Your patent is only as secure as the money you can invest to defend it, unfortunately.
But I don't think these sorts of injustices are limited to the USA. The French had long-term ongoing activist demonstrations every weekend in 2018-19 protesting large corporations being paid by public taxation for transitioning to "cleaner" manufacturing. This is why the "Carbon Tax" is going to happen in the USA - a similar solution. It's also why the reasons for these ongoing French demonstrations were kept out of the US news.
Carbon Taxation is a corporate scam splendidly justified by pseudo-environmentalists who say it's a "Climate Change" solution - people aren't going to realize what Carbon Tax really represents because of this "doublespeak."
Essentially, the Carbon Tax will be paid by the public in the form of "subsidies" to the Corporations who stand to lose out as alternative energy is developed and implemented. The Corporations who benefit, will then pass on their (subsidized) increased costs to their buyers as a business expense - so the Corporations will get double benefits.
Those corporations believe they need to get paid to make the transition to "green" energy solutions. Otherwise, these big companies aren't going to allow the progress of environmentally cleaner power and manufacturing to happen. Just as they have been buying and shelving any invention threatening their business...for decades.
I take pride in the fact i understood that Freud comment at 4:30 😂
I think Edison was a better businessman than Tesla, which is why he died rich while Tesla died poor.
Not at all, Edison was american and already in the industry, Tesla wasn't. Edison didn't like Tesla and always went out of his way to screw him over, that's it.
Edison deserves all the hate
@@Ebani Yes, but Tesla did make a lot of questionable decisions. He could've easily negotiated with Westinghouse over the royalties. He also made up nonsense, like a "cosmic ray" motor.

He didn't had a huge heart to give money, like Nikola Tesla did.
@@nathanseper8738 Yeah, the most questionable one was why did he ever trust 'muricans.
@5:00 nice Friends reference 😂
As for Edison, he wasn't an inventor but an investitor, and a pretty shady one. Ie: the 1st movie camera. His was designed by one of his employee in 1891, a couple of month after the disappereance of Louis Le Prince who had built a working camera by the end of 1890. His son was even asked to testify against Edison for the american mutoscope company over when his father invented his camera.
Yea I remember when I learned that Thomas Edison stole Nikola tesla inventions, and since two years ago I have always hated Thomas Edison.
Edison wasn't the petty loser Tesla was.

@@daevaskye
I think he meant, once its implemented; Marxism and it variants quickly burn out and are dangerous to the society.
5:06 yep, thats the first lightbulb alright, bright flash followed by a loud bang
My understanding is that Eddison employed people to research stuff and then claimed the inventions as his own because of the way he had written the employment contract. 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.

Edison's DC system could have been perfected for individual power independence, but that would probably have got monopolized just like Tesla's AC system. They both knew about advantages and disadvantages of both systems. What we see today represented through photo voltaic systems is mainly based on Edison's DC in conjunction with Tesla's AC. Energy, however , can not be ''spent out'' just like that but rather transformed from one form to another. Speaking in terms of engineering, Tesla was more innovative and knowledgeable then Edison because his perceptions of energy were far greater then of any human mind of that time, even of minds of our current time. Sadly, only nowadays we come to see development of Tesla's projects for which he was marked a wacko back then. And sadly, had Tesla's energy projects been implemented at the time when he presented them, perhaps humanity would have never gone through WW2 or some other blood thirsty war around the globe. Anyway, both Edison and Tesla must be paid necessary tribute and recognition for their contribution to prosperity of human kind, but Tesla being one of the most innovative and scientifically prosperous inventor of all times surely deserves more of it then Edison.
It's not even close Nedzade. I still can't understand why are we glorifying a manipulator like Edison. Only one reason, it's not what's your product or invention, it's all about how are you selling it. Marketing and manipulation > invention itself. Sad but truth even nowadays. Pozdrav.

A lot of great minds in history were completely unhinged. Scientists, psychologists in particular, believe that's the driving force that makes their brains so unique. What blows my mind is how could the man who held the patents for the AC motor not reap the financial gains of such? Thomas Edison was a genius entrepreneur, knowing how to convert his patents into enormous profits, while Nikola Tesla never cared much for being wealthy, choosing instead to the thrill of discovery through painstaking experimentation. This is the reason Tesla gave George Westinghouse a pass on royalties for using his AC Motor when constructiing that hydroelectric dam in Niagara Falls. Thus, these two men were complete opposites. But unlike the laws of electromagnetism, these two opposites never did attract each to the other.
