Nicholas? Tesla, yes, the current electric car brand Tesla is named after him. In the physical unit, there are also magnetic induction intensities and symbols named after him. T? The unit is Tesla, and some people often ridicule that it is not simple to name people who can be used as units. For Tesla, many people think that he is a great genius, a talented scientist comparable to Leonardo da Vinci and surpassing Einstein. Besides, he is also an engineer and inventor, with more than 1, invention patents in his life, and half of modern electrical technology is based on his achievements.
Some people think that some of Tesla's achievements are far ahead of the times, even in modern times, so he is still a futurist. Some of his unique inventions and some unique understandings make people feel that he has some mysterious or supernatural qualities, and some even think that Tesla has special functions.
So what is the actual situation? Are people's comments on Tesla high or low? Now let's approach the great inventor.
On July 1th, 1856, Tesla was born in an ordinary Serb family in Smiwan village, Croatia. He was the fourth child with five children. His father is a priest, so his father hopes that Tesla can become a clergyman in the future. However, Tesla's idea is contrary to his father's opinion. He wants to be a scientist.
Young Tesla often has some novel ideas. He likes to invent and create. In 1875, Tesla was admitted to Graz University of Technology in Austria, majoring in electrical engineering. After graduating from college, Tesla worked in a telegraph office in Budapest, which was relatively stable, but this kind of life was not what Tesla wanted. After working for a while, Tesla, 28, went to the United States alone and began his journey of invention.
In p>1884, Tesla became an American citizen and obtained honorary doctorates from Columbia University and Yale University. As someone introduced Tesla to work in the company founded by Edison, he was responsible for the improvement of generators. Edison promised that if he finished the work, he would pay 5, US dollars as a reward, which was equivalent to Tesla's total income for 53 years. But Tesla finished the work, but Edison did it with? Played an American joke? Under the pretext of refusing to pay $5,, Tesla left Edison's company in a fit of pique. Why didn't Edison pay? I think most of the reason was that he was afraid that Tesla would start his own company to compete with him after he got the money. You know, Edison has been promoting his direct current in the world, while Tesla has been promoting that alternating current is the best electricity for residents to use. They have been arguing all the time, and they even asked each other later. Stupid pig with low intelligence? Therefore, it is inevitable that one beat and two scattered.
soon after Tesla left, he started a company to produce AC motors. At the Chicago World Expo in 1893, Tesla's alternator technology supported the electricity consumption of the whole venue, and people saw the spectacular scene that 13, electric lights were lit at the same time. So far, the dispute between AC and DC has come to an end.
Tesla devoted his life to his beloved scientific and technological invention, and obtained so many invention patents in his life, but he was poor in his later years. He never married, and he was confident and determined to exert his creativity. His greatest contribution in his life is the invention of alternator and complete power transmission and supply system, and he is the originator of modern power transmission and supply system.
Although he has so many inventions, according to the available information, he has not made theoretical contributions to modern science. Although he has given speeches in many academic institutions, the contents of his speeches are still based on the existing theories, and his own technical ideas and means of realization are put forward on the basis of the existing theories. He hasn't published any papers in any authoritative academic journals, and even in electromagnetism, which he is most proficient in, he hasn't made theoretical contributions.
Nevertheless, Tesla is still one of the greatest inventors of all time, and its achievements should be higher than Edison's. Many people admire Tesla very much and gradually deify him. This is obviously wrong, but it should be in line with the facts.
