He invented the alternating current system and the three-phase alternating current motor, which opened the electrical age of mankind. He is also a poet, philosopher, pigeon expert and linguist. Proficient in 8 languages, able to read 1 1 languages, and able to communicate in 6 languages.
The scientific community has a * * * knowledge: in human history, there have been two recognized geniuses. Da Vinci and Tesla. The genius of Tesla is that his invention is completely done in his mind. "I will imagine a turbine and test it.
Role experience:
The end of 19 is a great era of competition between DC and AC. After Dixon invented direct current, 1882, Tesla, a 26-year-old boy from Serbian pastor's family, invented alternating current.
Two years later, Tesla went to work in Edison's laboratory, but resigned a year later. Because Tesla told Edison that he could improve his DC generator, Edison promised 50 thousand dollars in compensation; As a result, Tesla did it, but Edison refused to pay. Behind the parting ways are the differences in their views and personalities.
Tesla, who left Edison, worked as a coolie, started a company, was kicked out by the company, and then worked as a coolie until Westinghouse began to commercialize the alternating current he invented.
As a counterattack, Edison made a terrible experiment in front of many reporters. High-voltage alternating current can instantly electrocute cats or puppies, which proves that alternating current is unsafe. Tesla is still frantically completing one invention after another, although many of them are not commercially feasible at all. It was not until 1895 that the Niagara Falls AC power station was completed that the scientific war finally stopped.
The achievements of Tesla's life are scattered in the fields of high-frequency current, radio, particle radiation and mechanical technology. Tesla was less than 30 years old when he invented alternating current and developed generators; 1897, 4 1 year-old Tesla obtained 20 patents in the field of radio engineering technology; In the same year, Tesla studied particle radiation and established the basic equation of cosmic rays.
