achievement
In the United States, Tesla's reputation in history or popular culture can rival that of any other inventor or scientist. After he demonstrated wireless communication in 1893 and became the winner of the current war, he became one of the greatest electronic engineers in the United States and was highly respected. Many of his early achievements became pioneers of modern electronic engineering, and many of his discoveries were groundbreaking and important. In A.D. 1943, the United States Supreme Court recognized him as the inventor of radio.
In the modern world where electricity is used, Tesla's legacy can be seen everywhere. Despite his achievements in electromagnetism and engineering,
Tesla is also considered to have made contributions in robotics, ballistics, information science, nuclear physics and theoretical physics. Tesla was regarded as a mad scientist in his later years, and attracted attention because he claimed that he could create weird scientific inventions. Many of his achievements are applied with some controversies to support many pseudosciences, such as UFO theory and mysterious theory in the new century. Contemporary admirers of Tesla regarded him as "the man who created the twentieth century".
He is a great man forgotten by the world. He invented the alternator, and Edison loved the DC generator he invented and tried his best to suppress Tesla. Tesla would be the richest man in the world if it hadn't been forced to give up the patent for free use of alternating current ($2.53 per horsepower). His dream is to provide inexhaustible energy for the world. Tesla never cared about his financial situation and died of poverty and forgetfulness at the age of 86. Although he is a peerless genius, unfortunately not many people remember him.
Personal experience
1856 Born in Smilian, Croatia, Yugoslavia in July. His father is a priest and his mother is the inventor of the eggbeater. There are countless inventions in his life. 1882, shortly after Edison invented direct current (DC), he invented alternating current (AC), made the world's first alternator, and founded multiphase transmission technology. 1895, he made generator sets for Niagara Power Station in the United States, and it is still one of the world-famous hydropower stations. 1897, he made Marconi's radio communication theory come true. 1898, he built the world's first radio-controlled ship, and applied for a patent for radio control technology (U.S. PatentNo. #6 13.809). 1899, he invented the X-ray photography technology. Other inventions include: radio, radar, fax machine, vacuum tube, neon tube, missile navigation, interstellar defense system and so on. Even the magnetic density unit named after him (1 Tesla = 10000 gauss) shows his contribution to magnetism.
When he was young, Tesla was very smart. He could quickly complete complex calculations in his mind. The teacher always thought he was cheating.
Tesla can speak many languages fluently. Besides Croatian, he can speak seven languages: Czech, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian and Latin.
Tesla and Mark Twain became close friends in middle age, and they spent a lot of time in laboratories and other places.
well-known saying
Genius is out of diligence, and in order to devote herself to scientific research, Tesla will never marry. He said, "electricity has injected the most precious thing into my tired and weak body-life and spiritual vitality." In order to turn his idea into a real invention, he doesn't want to sleep. He only slept for more than 2 hours every day, and finally got more than 1000 invention patents on his own. There is a saying like this: "Genius is hard to move, so you don't need to whip yourself;" I have worked hard all my life to play big plays, and I have also made great achievements and miracles. "Tesla's patent was conceived and written by himself and is a veritable patent inventor. Edison's patent was completed by the huge experimental team of the American General Electric Company he founded. Edison has a patent because he is the boss of the American General Electric Company, and Edison is not the real inventor of the patent. Tesla graduated from Prague University, but Edison didn't graduate from elementary school. Therefore, one-on-one comparison, Tesla's personal scientific invention achievements are many times greater than Edison's pure commercial invention achievements that rely entirely on the commercial R&D team. Although he devoted his life to research and creation, he obtained about 1000 invention patents. But his lifelong research is not for his own benefit. Tesla's most productive creative period was spent in America. A large part of them cannot be repeated until today. Such as a radiant energy receiver. We know nothing about its working principle except that it is a converter of cosmic ray energy. Unfortunately, his contemporary entrepreneurs took advantage of the genius scientist's love and talent, defrauded his research achievements and honors, and became rich because of his inventions. But Tesla has been down and out and has been financially strapped for many years. 194365438+1sometime between the evening of October 5th and the morning of October 8th, Tesla died of heart failure alone in new york Hotel at the age of 86. Tesla was heavily in debt when he died because he refused to sell his patent for alternating current.
Why are such extraordinary scientists forgotten by history? No one ever said that? Because his unique invention has made great contributions to mankind, but at the same time, it has also prompted many profitable enterprises to close down instantly. Those who suppressed him included Edison, and John Pierpont Morgan who supported him and abandoned him. After his death, the American government deleted his historical records and reports for confidentiality, and most of his research results were confiscated and classified as top secret, so his name was erased.
