"To me, the universe is just a great machine that will never be born or end." This sentence comes from a man who is known as the closest thing to God. He made our current lifestyle and technology possible, but Edison has been his lifelong enemy. What is going on?
In 1885, Tesla went to General Electric Company with a recommendation letter from his former employer and was directly hired by Edison because the letter read: "I know two great people. One is You, the other one is the young man in front of you!"
As soon as he entered the company, he showed a talent that surprised even Edison. He redesigned the DC motor for General Electric Company, but because Edison refused to pay the $50,000 he had promised to design the DC motor, Tesla left angrily.
Later Tesla invented alternating current technology and established his own company. But General Electric, the company founded by Edison, relied heavily on direct current for its main source of business. From then on, Edison regarded him as his biggest enemy. Eventually, alternating current replaced direct current and became the mainstream. To this day, alternating current has become the main means of power transmission in the world.
Through the incident described above, you may feel that Edison is different from what we know, but the story we are going to tell you next may completely subvert your view of Edison.
1. Radio and Radar
In 1909, Guglielmo Marconi won the Nobel Prize in Physics for the invention of radio. In fact, as early as 1897, Tesla had obtained a patent for the invention of radio. However, due to Edison's interference, the U.S. Patent Office revoked his patent rights and assigned them to Guglielmo Marconi. It was not until 1943 that radio expertise returned to Tesla's name. Tesla passed away on January 7 of this year.
In 1917, Tesla proposed the idea of ??radar to the U.S. Navy. But because the head of the Naval Research and Development Center at that time was Edison. So the Englishman Robert Watson Watt invented the first radar in 1935.
2. X-rays and the mystery of Edison’s impaired vision
We all know that X-rays were discovered by William Conrad Roentgen. However, Tesla discovered X-rays earlier than William Conrad Roentgen, but he believed that this thing was dangerous and refused to use X-rays for medical experiments.
Based on the concept of "what the enemy opposes, I support", Edison devoted himself to the X-ray experiment without hesitation. In the end, due to long-term exposure to radiation, his assistant had his leg amputated to save his life, and Edison himself almost became blind.
Although Tesla has been targeted by Edison, as a god-like man, even if he is targeted, he has never been surpassed.
4. Oscillator
In 1896, Tesla invented the oscillator, a device that can emit shock waves of any frequency. In 1898, Tesla took this device to the streets of New York for experiments. 20 minutes after the oscillator was started, the giant machinery on the nearby construction site began to shake violently. According to media reports at the time, he almost razed New York City to the ground. .
Do you think this is his highest achievement in making trouble? Then you have underestimated the ability of a god-like scientist to get things done.
5. Wireless power transmission
In 1901, Tesla began to build Wardenclyffe Tower. This device was used to experiment with wireless power transmission.
In 1903, Tesla used Wardenclyffe Tower to create an extremely large range of artificial lightning in the sky.
Although Wardenclyffe Tower was eventually abandoned, he succeeded in making the lights light up without connecting to wires, truly achieving wireless power transmission.
It can be seen that the wireless charging technology for mobile phones we use now is leftover from Tesla’s work more than 100 years ago.
There is an even more amazing statement about this device.
6. Tunguska Explosion
At 7:17 am on June 30, 1908, near the Tunguska River in Siberia, Russia, a violent light illuminated the entire sky. The explosion burned more than 80 million trees in 2,150 square kilometers. It is estimated that this explosion was equivalent to detonating 20 million tons of TNT, which is approximately one thousand times more powerful than the Hiroshima atomic bomb.
There are rumors that Tesla used the Wardenclyffe Tower to create the Tunguska explosion because Tunguska is located at the same latitude as Tesla's electric tower.
But in reality, due to the radioactive state of wireless transmission of electric energy, it is impossible to send such a huge amount of energy to Russia. Even if some of the electric energy reaches Russia, it cannot cause such a huge explosion.
7. Vertical take-off and landing aircraft and UFOs
Tesla designed a small air transport aircraft in 1928. At that time, he was unable to produce a prototype due to lack of funds, but in modern times we have Tesla's original design was derived from a vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
Tesla also designed an aircraft that does not require wings or propellers. This aircraft is driven by the reaction force formed by electromagnetism and the earth's magnetic field. The driver inside can manually control it. Can be controlled remotely via wireless remote sensing technology. But he only left behind the design of the saucer-shaped aircraft. Having said this, I seem to have discovered some incredible truth...UFO...
Speaking of UFOs, we have to mention another major discovery by Tesla. .
8. Alien signals
Starting in 1899, Tesla received a strange digital code from outer space. In an interview in 1937, he said, "Through this device (the radio invented by Tesla), I can see many mysterious radio signals traveling through space, and these signals come from distant places." The scientific community at the time thought he was talking crazy. For this reason, Tesla was even criticized by the religious community, saying that he was blasphemous. The contents of the radio signals he received from extraterrestrial civilizations have also been sealed and have not been released to the public.
This is a man who gave up everything because of science. Although Tesla became a U.S. citizen in 1891, after his death, the U.S. government’s Alien Property Depository still sealed all his property. The research information will be classified as top secret.
He never married for the sake of his scientific career and gave up becoming the richest man in the world. He has about 1,000 inventions and is known as the scientist closest to God. His scientific research achievements are still regarded as truth by countless modern scientists. Even though he is dead, because his scientific research results were too advanced for the society at that time and touched too many people's interests, he was artificially erased from history.
