What do you think of nikola tesla?

1943 65438+1On October 7th, an 86-year-old man died of heart failure in the new york Hotel at night, and then three Nobel Prize winners paid tribute to the old man at the funeral, and then President Roosevelt also paid high tribute.

This old man is nikola tesla, the founder of modern AC technology, but Tesla never thought that his name would be mentioned repeatedly decades after his death, let alone that he would be regarded as the "closest person to God" in cyberspace.

Nikola tesla was born in Austro-Hungarian Empire on July 1856. 1In the autumn of 882, Tesla went to Paris Edison Telephone Branch to design the first induction motor, which was also the moment when his talent was first displayed.

1884, Tesla came to new york with a letter of recommendation from his former employer to Edison, who arranged for him to design electrical appliances in Edison machinery company. Tesla, with outstanding talent and rapid progress, soon became the company's technical expert. After Edison heard about it, he asked Tesla to redesign the DC motor and promised to reward Tesla with $50,000.

However, when Tesla's redesigned DC motor was put into the market and created huge profits for Edison, Edison told Tesla that his $50,000 reward was just an American joke, so never take it seriously. Seeing that the reward failed, Tesla asked Edison to raise his weekly salary from 18 to 25 dollars, but even this seemingly modest request was rejected by Edison.

Tesla resigned and started his own company after seeing the face of Edison businessman, focusing on communication technology with less consumption and lower cost. At this time, Edison realized that if Tesla was allowed to develop, his direct current would definitely be eliminated. So Edison, a capitalist, sent someone to electrocute AC in order to discredit AC, bribing major newspapers to publicize and discredit AC.

However, gold always shines, and it is the general trend that Tesla AC with less loss and lower cost replaces Edison DC, so Tesla became the most outstanding electrical engineer of that era. The patent fees paid by Westinghouse to Tesla AC on time add up to almost one million dollars, but Tesla gave up the patent of multiphase AC in order to spread AC technology to the whole world faster, and Tesla AC has since belonged to the whole world.
