War of Currents

theories that would drastically improve the way of life. He gifted us with the luxury of the Wardenclyffe, also known as the Tesla Coil; it is still used in radio technology to this day. In addition to inventing the Tesla coil he discovered alternating currents and terrestrial stationary waves. Unlike other scientists, Tesla had the belief that science should be free to everyone. Like many other geniuses, Tesla had a few, or could I say many, screws loose. He had the disease known as Obsessive…

inventions as well as improving them. After a while they had their differences and Tesla no longer worked for Edison. During this period is when AC electrical system was developed by Tesla (Nikola Tesla). The AC power system involved alternating current which is produced when a magnetic field revolves around a group of stationary wires (Latest). Since this system has many different benefits then DC power Tesla got recognition and got funding to set up a company. This was done by…

Who was a better inventor LeoNardo DA Vinci or Thomas Edison? It has been long debated on who was a better inventor, Leonardo DA Vinci or Thomas Edison? Thomas Edison might have been a leading inventor in his time, because he created the light bulb but that was really his main achievement. Leonardo DA Vinci was better because he had more inventions, better known for his work, and he was specialized in many lines of inventing. Now you really need to think Thomas Edison was responsible for…

achievement happens with AC or Alternating Current. He has owned the patents for the Alternating Current Induction Motor [2] and other Poly-phase alternating current patents. By the 1890’s Tesla had earned copious amounts of money. However, Tesla was a man with a thirst for experimentation, he set up multiple laboratories where he tried to invent and patent. After…

neighborhood. We can accredit the light source and power we have today to Nikola Tesla. Tesla was a Serbian inventor who came to the United States in order to build off of Thomas Edison’s findings of how light works and establish the idea of alternating current (AC) electrical power. Because of his extensive research and hardwork, Tesla had created a legacy for himself and invented something we still use today in our everyday lives. Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia. As…

Week 4 Family and Friends Task 7 – Ten suppressed inventions Suppressed inventions are inventions that have been put an end to it by force. Wardenclyffe Tower is one of the suppressed inventions developed by Nikola Tesla. It could successfully send wireless electricity to any part of the world in abundance (Free Energy, n.d.). Although it has been suppressed because the funding for it was cut by J.P. Morgan, who also ostracized any further funding from any other organizations. Wardenclyffe tower…

Once he returned home he began drawing the plans for his electrical telegraph. His first model was composed of a wooden frame, which would hold an electromagnet, paper, and a marking pencil suspended from a pendulum. The pencil would mark on the paper as the electric circuit was opened and closed. What is now known today as Morse code is what Samuel Morse created when he used dots and dashes in his telegraph. To continue his experiments and research he needed financial support. Fortunately,…

Gravity of Nikola Tesla explains the relation between gravitation and electromagnetic force as a unified field theory” (PESWiki.com) In addition, the earliest demonstration fluorescent lighting was his accomplishment. All of this paved the way to the current stage of electricity that is currently being used by people all across the globe. His electricity generating turbine design was used in the first hydroelectric dam that generated enough power to light a whole…

Thomas Alva Edison is known for making the first incandescent light bulb that has had a huge impact on the world today. He is important in United States history because he made electric light that plays a huge role on how we live, light is everywhere. Edison started from nothing and made his way to U.S. history. This wouldn’t have been possible without his motivation, preparation, and his contributions to change the World as we know it. Motivation Thomas Edison was motivated to finish the work…

is hard not to compare the two. They worked for years creating and perfecting their various inventions. Edison is best known for creating a commercially viable light bulb, and Tesla is remembered for his contributions to the design of alternating current electricity. Though Edison is more well known, both men contributed greatly to the field of electrical science and should forever be remembered. Thomas Edison was born on February 11th, 1847. He grew up in Milan, Ohio, and later moved to…
