Achievements
In the United States, Tesla's reputation in history or popular culture can rival that of any other inventor or scientist. After he demonstrated wireless communication in 1893 and became the winner of the current war, he became one of the greatest electronic engineers in America and was highly respected. Many of his early achievements became pioneers of modern electronic engineering, and many of his discoveries were groundbreaking and important. In 1943, the United States Supreme Court recognized him as the inventor of radio.
Tesla's legacy can be seen everywhere in the modern world where electricity is used. Apart from his achievements in electromagnetism and engineering,
Tesla is also considered to have contributed to various fields such as robotics, ballistics, information science, nuclear physics and theoretical physics. Tesla was regarded as a mad scientist in his later years and was noticed for claiming that he could create weird scientific inventions. Many of his achievements have been applied with some controversies to support many pseudosciences, such as UFO theory and mysterious theory in the new century. Contemporary admirers of Tesla regard 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 and tried his best to suppress Tesla. Tesla would be the richest man in the world if he hadn't been forced to give up the patent of alternating current for free use ($2.53 per horsepower). His dream is to provide the world with inexhaustible energy. Tesla never cared about his financial situation and died in poverty and forgetfulness at the age of 86. Although he is a peerless genius, it is a pity that not many people remember him.
Personal experience
On July 1th, 1856, he was born in Smilian, Croatia, Yugoslavia. His father was a priest and his mother was the inventor of the eggbeater. There are countless inventions in his life. In 1882, shortly after Edison invented direct current (DC), he invented alternating current (AC), made the world's first alternator, and founded multiphase power transmission technology. In 1895, he made generator sets for Niagara Power Station in the United States, making the power station still one of the world-famous hydropower stations. In 1897, he made Marconi's theory of radio communication a reality. In 1898, he built the world's first radio-controlled ship, and patented the radio-controlled technology (U.S. PatentNo. #613.89). In 1899, he invented X-Ray photography. Other inventions include: radio, radar, fax machine, vacuum tube, neon tube, missile navigation, star defense system, etc. Even the unit of magnetic density named after him (1 Tesla = 1, Gause) shows his contribution to magnetism.
When he was young, Tesla was very clever, and he could finish complex calculations in his head quickly. 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 the laboratory and other places.
Famous saying
A genius is out of diligence. In order to devote himself to scientific research, Tesla will never marry. He said, "Electricity has injected the most precious things into my tired and weak body-vitality of life and spirit". In order to turn his idea into a real invention, he was reluctant to sleep, only sleeping for more than 2 hours every day, and finally won more than 1, invention patents by himself. There is a saying: "genius is hard to move, and there is no need to whip himself;" I have worked hard all my life to play big dramas, and I have made great achievements and miracles. " Tesla's patent was conceived and written by himself, and he is a veritable patent inventor. Edison's patent was completed by the huge experimental team of the American General Electric Company he founded. Edison owned the patent because he was the boss of the American General Electric Company, and Edison was not the real patent inventor. Tesla graduated from Prague University and Edison didn't graduate from elementary school. Therefore, one-on-one comparison, Tesla's personal scientific and invention achievements are many times greater than Edison's personal pure commercial invention achievements that depend entirely on the commercial R&D team. Although he devoted himself to research and creation all his life, he obtained about 1 invention patents. But his lifelong research is not for his own benefit. Tesla's most productive creative period was spent in the United States. 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 about cosmic ray energy. Unfortunately, his contemporary entrepreneurs took advantage of the genius scientist's love and talent, cheated his research achievements and honors, and became rich because of his inventions. But Tesla is down and out and has been financially strapped for years. Sometime between the evening of January 5th and the morning of January 8th, 1943, Tesla died of heart failure alone in new york Hotel at the age of 86. Tesla was 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 has ever told it? Because his unique inventions have made great contributions to mankind, but at the same time, they have prompted many profitable enterprises to close down instantly. The people who suppressed him include Edison, J. Pierpont Morgan (John Pierpont Morgan) who supported him and abandoned him. After his death, the American government deleted his historical records and reports for secret, and most of his research results were confiscated and included in top secrets, so his name was erased.
