Nikola tesla has produced many great scientists in modern history, such as Newton and Einstein, who almost laid the foundation of physics. But many people only know that Edison invented the electric light, but they don't know that Edison only discovered tungsten wire. The existence of electricity is more nikola tesla's achievement.
Nikola tesla was born in July 1856 in milian, Yugoslavia. He made countless achievements in his life and invented thousands of patents.
Invent countless things
1895 made generator sets for Nicaragua 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 pioneered the radio-controlled technology; 1899, he invented X-ray photography.
In addition, there are many inventions, such as radio, radar, fax machine, vacuum tube, neon tube, missile navigation and so on. Everything comes from him. And the world also named the magnetic density unit (1Tesla 10000Gause) after him to commemorate his contribution to magnetism.
Be excluded
However, the greatest achievement in his life was actually the practical application of high-power AC motors, but he was not famous for it at first, especially in the first few years, and he was even laughed at by the world for it.
The reason is that Edison strongly suppressed Tesla and killed an elephant in the street with alternating current, proving the danger and horror of alternating current to the world.
Why did Edison do this in order to tell the world that direct current is a safer energy source? Because direct current was invented by Edison, there is no need for another competitor.
Dc and AC
In fact, both direct current and alternating current are very common in our lives. For example, our commonly used batteries are usually DC, while the household power supply is AC. DC is characterized by high current and low voltage, while AC is characterized by low current and high voltage. In transmission and distribution, alternating current is absolutely dominant; However, in the power supply of electronic circuits, DC is irreplaceable by AC.
Tesla automobile
From the above, we know that most batteries use DC, so most people will think that electric cars are DC cars. Yes, many brands of electric cars have them, but the instantaneous load capacity and high-speed capacity of DC cars are very poor. Therefore, for high-power electric vehicles, AC motors with three advantages of high power, high efficiency and high operation can meet the demand.
Tesla electric vehicles are driven by AC motors, so the founder named the company "Tesla Motors" to commemorate the high-power AC motors created by nikola tesla.
