No contest... Edison was a consummate a-hole!

Age and time limit watt he could could show us

How did you watch this video and write your comment? 😉

he was putting down the foundations for the invention of phones 😮

not really

🤤

dont think its because tesla did great work first when it might be because he became a mad scientist. something like look at me im a total electric wizard with giant sparks bigger than anyone elses wow. edison wept.

I hope you’re correct.

Eskimos and indians dont know

And then there are the conspiracy idiots.

@@steveprebble1065 don’t you think that ALL we are those IDIOTS 🤣?! What do we know about our planet past, many things are hidden, many twisted , many retold by HIS STORY ! Tesla been leaning many things from Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

But nobody has a clue!

If I were you I'd consider hitting a different pipe

@@kylestephenson3004-That’s why they were pissed off at Tesla!

@@marions.120 really you don't say how did I overlook that hmmmm???

It's the best in the world, unless if u don't understand it. Prey tell what in ur idea is better?

You're an idiot. The traits you attribute to capitalism is human traits. Human beings do evil sht to each other regardless of a system of economy. It is why this idea of socialism and communism sounds amazing until it is enacted. Then once you add human nature into the mix you put those same evil powers at the top again only this time there is no ladder from poverty to riches for you anymore, and everyone becomes poor because the people at the top don't want you to have that wealth and they will stay at the top until the people revolt and murder them and replace it with another replica of the same person thinking theyl be any different. Communism and socialism inevitably centralizes power. Which means you have none, and regardless who is in charge they're still human beings who make mistakes, which has massive consequences for those that fall under that centralized power. Capitalism empowers the individual by allowing a free market away from governing powers and into the individual meaning their entire populace control the market through purchase, production and labor. What most people attribute to capitalism that's distasteful is human nature. But it's present in all forms of economies. The only difference is its not centralized. Capitalism is the most powerful system that produces wealth, and reduces poverty far better than any system ever created. So much so that the ccp became heavily reliant on it in order for them to catch up to capitalist countries. What you hate isn't capitalism, it's your nature you hate.

He would be impressed with your care to spell.. 😢

Tesla sold his patents for exorbitant fees. When the Westinghouse company, his cash cow, was in danger of going broke, he waived some of the payments owed to him.

@@pyotrberia9741 Stop with the revisionist history....Tesla never sold his patents...he waived payments from his patents, allowing Westinghouse company, and others, to more rapidly implement the AC power grid. They certainly were not his "cash cow" as Tesla had to solicit funds from various investors and donors. It was only when his Wardencliffe tower venture to promote "free energy" did investors abandon his venture. His humanitarian reason to forego patent fees cost him dearly, but did electrify America, and the world far more rapidly then otherwise. In some moments of reflection from the Westinghouse corporation, the company paid for his suite at his hotel until his passing. PS....no amount of money would be "exorbitant fees" for inventing and developing the means to create our modern society

Surely his DNA could be found if cloning him could possibly recreate his genius. Also, just because someone is a genius doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll want to share it, or capitalize on it, or use it to ‘change the world’ before considering the long-term ramifications of their genius-at-work.

It's got an air gap to charge the secondary, but yea

Edison was a coke head

@@dennishuppe9902 he definitely was a great con artist T00 say the least!

Edison was more of an entrepreneur than anything else.

And didn't like Einstein either.

Absolutely true

Why?

You somehow made this about you 😉

He was not born in former Yugoslavia. He was been born in Croatia, then part of the Austrian-Hungarian empire - which makes Tesla an Austrian citizen

@Bystander-xd2wj cause they praise Einstein and Edison more on social media and schools what they don't talk about in schools is tesla. First time I heard about him was on UKposts but my dad talked about someone who made a ray gun or death ray and we talked about aliens during a thunderstorms when I was a kid, i thought the lightning was a death ray shooting down from a ufo in the sky.

@Bystander-xd2wj yes thats what I said he was underrated because most people probably never heard of him idk why you were offended by my comment. Most people probably just heard of the car company not the inventor the inventor should have been credited for things he did people didn't appreciate him as inventor/ genius. When I heard his story it was sad and I can relate what he went through.

ok. if not electricity today, then what wood we have?

@@echelonrank3927 Coal fired kitchens and heating like we did 70 years ago.

@@echelonrank3927 would...not wood. Wood is what is burned in a wood stove

@bradford Yes. There are many inaccuracies. What I find sadly lacking in videos of this nature are proofreaders that actually know the subject matter. Improper information is being put out for general consumption and nobody gives a $hit.

@@riderinsanjose337 Yes, you are correct. The technical term is "Yellow Journalism". Where publications deliberately Sensationalize stories -- to excite an ignorant, gullible public. This is a principle theme of the film "Citizen Kane". Every year, on Tesla's birthday, newspaper reporters would throw a lavish party. Just to goad him into talking about his latest invention. Which they would distort, or blow way out of proportion. The most infamous example being his so-called "Death Ray". All of these videos are by hacks who wish to ride on the coat-tails of Tesla's current wave of popular acclaim. But they never bother to learn the actual math, science, engineering behind his work. I DID learn. Starting back in early 1970's. Drawing from libraries of 2 local colleges, the huge NYC public library, Library of Congress, Inter-library loan of microfilm from Colorado Springs, correspondence with experts, All his patents, even books imported from Europe. Then, I deliberately accumulated a HUGE collection of lab quality electronic /metrology instruments and standards. 1,500 square feet of my house -- Stuffed floor to ceiling. Mostly General Radio, Leeds & Northrup, HP. The best which mankind could devise and build. I tested and proved Tesla's principles. Today's hacks (including Neil deGrasse Tyson) are barking up the wrong tree. It took me 35 years to unravel the missing element of Tesla's "Magnifying Transmitter". NO one else knows what it is.

@@riderinsanjose337There is a female on UKposts somewhere who debunked 99% of the Tesla videos on UKposts as they spread incorrect information.

@3Vn Site Addy please

@@riderinsanjose337Found the channel name. "Kathy Loves Physics & History".

So a guy nobody has ever heard of, who used suggestions by others, to build a device, who did not even understand how it worked, invented alternating current? Here's an quote from his barely paragraph long Wikipedia page. " Although Pixii did not fully understand electromagnetic induction, his device led to more sophisticated devices being constructed." Not the guy that built, designed, produced, and standardized all electricity in use today, but the guy that couldn't explain how a magnet worked. Makes perfect sense. Neither of them "invented alternating current", just as Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb. It was know to exist for decades before Tesla was born. There were also extremely non-effective ways of producing a c. Tesla is considered to be the "inventor" because his system was drastically different, and much more efficient then any previous system. Tesla is also the recognized inventor of the radio, macaroni own design was identical, other then being powered externally, instead of using the same radio waves as Tesla's, which is why the us patent office denied his patent, in 1900, which they reversed in 1904, which the supreme Court ruled to have been "politically motivated" in 1945. Tesla had done multiple demonstrations publicly of "wireless transmission" as early as 1893, 11 years before macaroni's patent was even filed. Tesla also never claimed to have invented x-rays, but had taken multiple x-rays and documented it years before anyone else had even experimented with them. Tesla is a fad now, he is often misquoted, and rarely understood. But there is not one other person that changed so many industries, so many times, in such a short period of time, period.

@@lilsammywasapunkrock Ah yes, Guglielmo *Macaroni.* Everyone has heard of him.

At a dollar per horsepower, he would have owned him

This is a myth. The battle of the currents was actually between Edison and Westinghouse. Edison and Tesla were lifelong friends. This is known from Tesla’s own diaries. Hollywood has made up the myth you refer to. And also it is little known that although Tesla was very intelligent within his field of work, in his personal life he was a lunatic. They tried many times to have him committed because he was extremely crazy. For example he believed that outer space was filled with a gas called orzone. Orzone was supposed to be ( Tesla’s words ) the breath of God.

You'd have to Hide him, or he'd end up dead. After he died, the FBI raided a dead man's property, which the DOD later demanded for themselves, I'd love to hear the justification for that illegal search & seizure.

Would you know him if you met him ?

@@user-nc9hb4pf9x No, but I'd love to meet him.

But he build a remote controlled electric boat instead.

Or eliminate cheap coal power plants

Funny thing is that he did built and tested electric car lol U should read more about his invention before commenting ...

A majority of cars were electric and he often proposed electric flying machines, similar to a helicopter.

Yup government stole most of his well you no

If power can't be transferred ground to air explain the northern lights

Touch the ground with a florescent bulb in the other hand Tesla been there done that
