Tesla was regarded as a mad scientist in his later years, and attracted attention because he claimed that he could create weird scientific inventions. Many of his achievements have been disputed to support many pseudosciences, such as UFO theory, nikola tesla's color photo theory [1] and mysterious theory in the new century. Contemporary admirers of Tesla regarded him as "the man who created the twentieth century". He is a great man forgotten by the world. He invented the alternator, and Edison loved the DC generator he invented, so he tried his best to suppress Tesla with some companies. Tesla would be the richest man in the world if it hadn't been forced to give up the patent for free use of alternating current ($2.53 per horsepower). His dream is to provide inexhaustible energy for the world. Tesla never cared about his financial situation and died of poverty and forgetfulness at the age of 86. Although he is a peerless genius, unfortunately not many people remember him.
He accurately predicted the first and second world wars, predicted the wreck of the Titanic, and conceived the mobile Internet of our time.
Tesla has made contributions in many fields such as robotics, ballistics, information science, nuclear physics and theoretical physics. In addition to the above, he himself has special functions, which are also related to strange inventions such as special functions, flying saucers and particle beam weapons. Even the Tunguska Big Bang was suspected to have something to do with him. However, after Tesla's death was made public, the foreign property custody bureau under the government still obtained his research materials and patents. At the time of his death, Tesla continued his research on long-range power weapons and death rays. Although he failed to sell these weapons to the United States War Department. His death ray seems to be related to his research on spherical lightning and plasma, and it is considered as a particle beam weapon. The U.S. government did not find a safe prototype device. After the War Department contacted the FBI, his research was declared top secret. On the advice of the presidential adviser, all his personal belongings were confiscated; John edgar hoover announced that due to the nature of Tesla's inventions and patents, all his research was top secret.
After Tesla invented the alternator, he began to study the feasibility of "free energy".
1889, he built a laboratory in ColoradoSprings, USA, mainly to study the principle and reaction of Tesla coil. 1895, just as his invention career was in full swing, a bizarre fire destroyed the whole laboratory, all his painstaking efforts, all precious research equipment and scientific experimental materials were burned, and Tesla suffered serious economic losses. He was at a loss under this cruel blow. After a long period of silence and recovery, at 190 1, he came back from the pain and went out to find a partner. As a result, he got the investment of the world's richest man, J. PierpontMorgan 1 50,000 dollars and another loan of110,000 dollars, and he was in Long Island, USA. In fact, "Tesla coil" is a technological invention, which can not only transmit information radio waves over a long distance, but also convert energy (electricity) into high-frequency radio waves, allowing human beings to enter a pollution-free "free energy" life. However, in our present life, only the technology of "wireless communication" is applied. The world broadcasting system was named "WardendyffeProject".
In fact, in Tesla's mind, "free energy" life is only part of the whole idea. There are more unexpected inventions that will give the world.
Unfortunately, in 1903, just as Tesla's project was progressing to a critical moment, his radio invention patent was stolen. Therefore, investor JPMorgan Chase withdrew all financial assistance and investment. Tesla put down his research, went out for a loan, and even turned to WestinghouseCompany for help (1896, Westinghouse Company was in financial difficulties, and Tesla generously helped the company tide over the difficulties). But at that time, "Wei" saw that the project was unprofitable. Not only did it not lend a helping hand, but it was even worse, and it recovered the loan for Tesla's related equipment, thus accelerating the collapse of Tesla's career. Under the pressure of power companies, water supply companies and unpaid workers, Tesla dismantled the transmission tower and bought these materials to pay off debts. Tesla's economy is on the verge of bankruptcy.
An invention that made a great contribution to mankind was stillborn in the hands of selfish businessmen. 19 16, Tesla was summoned by the court for defaulting on personal income tax, and the ruthless news media even publicized it, which made the genius inventor suffer a great blow physically and mentally. Tesla was more depressed and lonely in his later years. 1943 65438+1On October 7th, poor Tesla died alone in a shabby hotel. It turns out that there is a lot of information in our life. Just like Tesla's invention, a scientist who has been working hard for mankind will be unfairly suppressed in his life.
When we step into the hot July, we believe that the most enjoyable thing is to sit at home and enjoy the cool air slowly delivered by the air conditioner in this extremely hot weather; Enjoy the ice cream taken out of the refrigerator; Looking at the blue sky and a few leisurely white clouds outside through the glass. However, after the summer vacation, when I received the electricity bill from the power company, people felt that this cool and pleasant life really cost a lot! Is there really no "free electricity" in this world? If there is, many accidents of suffocation due to hot weather will be avoided.
Facts have proved that the "Tesla coil" invented by the scientist Tesla 100 years ago can provide completely "free" electricity. It turns out that if a "large Tesla coil" is built on the top of Taiping Mountain in Hong Kong, the electric energy released by this "coil" can be received anywhere in the whole Hong Kong Island through a "receiving capacitor". Even if the number of "receiving capacitors" continues to increase, it will never affect the power output provided by "coils". In other words, as long as the "coil" outputs 654.38+ million horsepower, all "receiving capacitors" can receive 654.38+ million horsepower within 35 miles of Fiona Fang, even if 654.38+ million or 654.38+ million "receiving capacitors" are added, that is 654.38+ million or 654.40 million. Because the "high voltage and high frequency" current it releases can induce neutrons in other air to release the same electrons. This is the difference between "Tesla coil" and general "free energy" invention.
To be more practical, as long as "Tesla coils" are built in several locations in Hong Kong, every place in Hong Kong can enjoy the life of "free electricity". Our vehicles, cars, trains, ships, planes, mobile phones, white light, computers, elevators, refrigerators and air conditioners can all use "free electricity". What a pity! This 100-year-old "free energy" is still being unfairly suppressed! In various countries, only a few people are allowed to make it experimentally, which cannot be popularized as one of the main power supply methods.

Personal experience
1856 Born in Smilian, Croatia, Yugoslavia in July. His father is a priest and his mother is the inventor of the eggbeater. During his life, nikola tesla made many inventions. 1882, shortly after Edison invented direct current (DC), he invented alternating current (AC), made the world's first alternator, and created many transmission technologies. 1895, he made generator sets for Niagara Power Station in the United States, and it is still one of the world-famous hydropower stations. 1897, he made Marconi's radio communication theory come true. 1898, he built the world's first radio-controlled ship, and applied for a patent for radio control technology (U.S. PatentNo. #6 13.809). 1899, he invented the X-ray photography technology. Even the magnetic density unit named after him (1 Tesla = 10000 gauss) shows his contribution to magnetism.
When he was young, Tesla was very smart. He could quickly complete complex calculations in his mind. The teacher always thought he was cheating.
Tesla can speak many languages fluently. Besides Croatian, he can speak seven languages: Czech, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian and Latin.
Tesla and Mark Twain became close friends in middle age, and they spent a lot of time in laboratories and other places.

well-known saying
Genius is out of diligence, and in order to devote herself to scientific research, Tesla will never marry. He said, "electricity has injected the most precious thing into my tired and weak body-life and spiritual vitality." In order to turn his idea into a real invention, he doesn't want to sleep. He only slept for more than 2 hours every day, and finally got more than 1000 invention patents on his own. There is a saying like this: "Genius is hard to move, so you don't need to whip yourself;" I have worked hard all my life to play big plays, and I have also made great achievements and miracles. "Tesla's patent was conceived and written by himself and is a veritable patent inventor. Edison's patent was completed by the huge experimental team of the American General Electric Company he founded. Edison has a patent because he is the boss of the American General Electric Company, and Edison is not the real inventor of the patent. Tesla graduated from Prague University, but Edison didn't graduate from elementary school. Therefore, one-on-one comparison, Tesla's personal scientific invention achievements are many times greater than Edison's pure commercial invention achievements that rely entirely on the commercial R&D team. Although he devoted his life to research and creation, he obtained about 1000 invention patents. But his lifelong research is not for his own benefit. Tesla's most productive creative period was spent in America. A large part of them cannot be repeated until today. Such as a radiant energy receiver. We know nothing about its working principle except that it is a converter of cosmic ray energy. Unfortunately, his contemporary entrepreneurs took advantage of the genius scientist's love and talent, defrauded his research achievements and honors, and became rich because of his inventions. But Tesla has been down and out and has been financially strapped for many years. 194365438+1sometime between the evening of October 5th and the morning of October 8th, Tesla died of heart failure alone in new york Hotel at the age of 86. Tesla was heavily in debt when he died because he refused to sell his patent for alternating current.

Why are such extraordinary scientists forgotten by history? No one ever said that? Because his unique invention has made great contributions to mankind, but at the same time, it has also prompted many profitable enterprises to close down instantly. Those who suppressed him included Edison, and John Pierpont Morgan who supported him and abandoned him. After his death, the American government deleted his historical records and reports for confidentiality, and most of his research results were confiscated and classified as top secret, so his name was erased.

The Heresy of the Times: The Invention of Alternating Current
During the period of 1888, many newspapers reported that Thomas Edison, a famous inventor, declared that nikola tesla was a "heresy" in the scientific field, and his invention of alternating current directly affected the safety of human life. Tesla's death ray and the infinite long-distance transmission of 1 100 million volt electric devices have repeatedly shown how dogs and cats die instantly after passing through alternating current (the "electric chair" death penalty has also been inspired-it is said that Edison bribed some state government officials in the United States to crack down on alternating current and changed the local death penalty from hanging to direct current punishment. But direct current can't kill people. The prisoner was electrocuted.
But in fact, today everyone knows how much the world needs alternating current. The invention of alternating current improved people's life, promoted the development of industry and promoted the progress of science. But why did Edison attack alternating current and its inventor Tesla again and again? The answer is that the emergence of alternating current directly threatens Edison's DC business. Because using DC has too many disadvantages and limitations. For example, DC is not conducive to long-distance transmission, and power stations will be added every 1 km, but alternating current can be transformed by transformers as long-distance transmission; The use of direct current is more expensive and its efficiency is far less than that of alternating current. Based on the conflict of interest, Edison tried his best to suppress Tesla's invention.
Prior to this, Tesla invented 24 new products for the great scientist Edison, including a series of redesigns of DC generators and DC motors, which were patented by Edison and mass-produced. Edison also made a lot of money from it, but Edison refused to give Tesla the promised bonus or even a raise, and called it "American humor." Tesla got angry and left Edison and his company. This is the prelude to the current war in history.
1888, with the support of Geovge Westing House, an entrepreneur of Westinghouse Electric Company, Tesla developed a communication system that had been conceived for six years. Six months later, the alternator he developed was patented, and he was invited by the American Institute of Electrical Engineers to explain and demonstrate the research results of the AC system. Because the efficiency of alternating current is far superior to that of direct current, alternating current is widely used and gradually replaces traditional direct current. Driven by interests, Edison vigorously attacked Tesla and branded it as a "scientific heresy", which led to a scientific persecution. Although alternating current has become the mainstream of industrial and social power supply and the necessity of our daily life, the name nikola tesla has been forgotten or even rehabilitated. This is a masterpiece of orthodox science.

A century-old Niagara Hydropower Station
If you have been to Niagara Falls in the United States, I believe everyone will sincerely admire this magnificent spectacle. Tens of thousands of tons of river water gathered from all directions and poured down in the form of landslides. The rumble of the sudden impact of the river is daunting. In this endless river, there are unexpected rich resources.
Tesla coil (16 sheets)
1897, in the world-famous Niagara Hydropower Station, the first power station with 65,438+million horsepower was built, which became the main power source in Buffalo, new york, 35 kilometers away. Since then, more than a dozen large and small power stations have been built, producing enough electricity to supply a quarter of the total demand in New York State and Ontario, Canada. Today, this power building, which has been built for more than 100 years, is still running as usual, and natural gas energy has never stopped producing, which can be described as a great miracle in the history of science for nearly a hundred years.
This century-old miracle in science is a design of talented scientist Tesla in his thirties, in which he used nine patented inventions, including the alternator and AC transmission technology invented by Tesla.
In fact, at that time, industry and commerce, public facilities and household appliances all used expensive direct current. Because of the loss in the circuit, a generator set must be built every kilometer when using direct current. Therefore, in the construction of Niagara Hydropower Station, it is impossible to transmit DC power to Buffalo, new york, 35km away. Therefore, when the Niagara Hydropower Station was completed, Americans adopted the AC power transmission technology invented by Tesla to realize long-distance power supply with high-voltage electricity. This epoch-making invention not only solved the problem of long-distance power supply of Niagara Hydropower Station, but also brought people a convenient and cheap electricity environment.
Later, people set up a bronze statue of Tesla in the park of Niagara Falls to commemorate his contribution to Niagara Hydropower Station.

Selfless dedication: exempting AC from patent royalties.
Tesla's life-long invention witnessed his selfless contribution to society. Although he devoted his life to continuous research, he obtained about 1000 patent inventions. However, in his later years, he was down and out for many years. Although many entrepreneurs took advantage of this talented scientist's love and talent and defrauded him of his research achievements and honors, he still worked hard to research and invent for the happiness of mankind in his later years.
Among Tesla's many inventions, nothing can benefit the public more than alternating current (AC) and alternator. In every corner of the world, the development of economy and trade, the progress of science and the enjoyment of life are inseparable from the help of alternating current. At the end of 2003, there was a blackout in the United States and a blackout in Europe, which once plunged into social and economic paralysis. As early as 1882, Tesla had invented the world's first alternator, and in 1885, it invented multiphase current and multiphase power transmission technology, which is a widely used method to transmit power at 50-60Hz.
After Edison invented direct current, electrical appliances were widely used, but at the same time the electricity bill was high, so exporting direct current became the most profitable business at that time. In 1884, after Tesla left Edison, he met George Westinghouse, the head of Westinghouse Electric. With his support, Tesla officially brought alternating current into the society at that time in 1888. 1At the opening ceremony of a World Expo in Chicago in June, 893, Tesla demonstrated the power supply ability of alternating current to light 90,000 light bulbs at the same time, which shocked the audience, because direct current could not achieve this effect at all. Afterwards, Tesla gained the leading power in the power design of Niagara Hydropower Station.
Since then, AC salted fish has turned over and replaced DC as the mainstream of power supply. Tesla, on the other hand, has the patent right of alternating current. At that time, every time it produced alternating current, it had to pay Tesla a patent fee of $65,438 +0. Driven by strong interests, a consortium threatened Tesla to give up this patent right with the intention of monopolizing profits. After many negotiations, Tesla decided to give up the patent of alternating current, provided that the patent of alternating current was made public permanently. Since then, he tore off the patent of alternating current and lost the right to collect patent fees. Since then, alternating current has not been patented and has become a free invention.

Nikola tesla's early years
It is rumored that Tesla was born in a Serbian family named Smirjan village at midnight when thunder and lightning flashed. This village is located in Gospi, Lika District of the Austrian Empire (now the Republic of Croatia). Nearby. His baptism record proves that he was born in1June 28th, 856 (julian calendar, converted to the current Gregorian calendar as1July 0). And the Serbian Orthodox priest Thomas Oklobud? Ija baptized him. His father's name is Rev. Milutin Tesla, and he is a priest of Serbian Orthodox Church in Karlov parish of Srym. What is his mother's name? Uka Mandy? She is the daughter of a Serbian Orthodox priest and is very good at making household hand tools. She can recite many Serbian epics, but she has never learned to read. His godfather Jovan Drenovac is an army captain in charge of defending the military border. Tesla is one of five children in the family, with one brother (Dane, who died in a riding accident when Nicholas was five) and three sisters (mirka, Angelina and Marika). His family moved to Gospi on 1862? . Tesla studied in Karlovac, Croatia, and 1875 studied electronic engineering at Graz University of Technology. There, he studied the application of alternating current. At least two materials show that he obtained a bachelor's degree from Graz University. However, his school claimed that he never got a degree. He only took classes in the first semester of his freshman year, and then he stopped taking classes. According to his college roommate, Tesla didn't graduate. 1878, he left Graz and cut off all contact with his family. His friends think he drowned in Mura. He went to Marbury, Slovenia, where he was first hired as an assistant engineer for one year. During this period, he suffered from neurasthenia. His father has been urging him to return to the Charles Ferdinand campus of Prague University, so he went there in the summer semester of 1880. However, when his father died, he left the university and only completed one semester.
