He is the greatest inventor of all time (mechanical and electrical engineer, physicist and futurist), yet, he receives very little credit for so many of the things we use today. He tried to give the world free energy and of course the power elite, would have none of it. In addition, the the day he died the government ransacked his living quarters and took all his notes and everything else of value scientifically.
Born at the stroke 12:00 am with a clap of lightening (yes, that is literally the story). This brilliant Serbian had a photographic memory and was able to invent things in his mind and go straight to production without tinkering. In addition he spoke 7 languages fluently and had over 300 patents attributed to him.
He doesn't get enough credit. I'll spare you by not listing all his patents. But I suggest you read about this remarkable man.
Guys like this are true heroes...

He was so "out there" he was marginalized by his collegues and outcast but he ended up being correct on everything he said...More brilliant than Einstein, edison (scambag) and many of the other greats. He was the Ronnie of brainiacs. This is one man I would have given my left nut to converse with and know.

Wiggs, I will check back on this thread when im stoned.
-
going to read up on him any good books?
Wiggs, I will check back on this thread when im stoned.
LOL that was actually hilarious

I agree. Marginalized as an eccentric and bullied by Edison.
I also feel the same way about Turing. Marginalized as a homosexual and an eccentric. But he basically won the war by decoding the Enigma. And invented the foundations for what would become computers. The government attempted to convert his behavior by injecting him with hormones to stop his homosexuality (yeah - the state did this kind of crazy shit). He lost the will to live, and poisoned himself in very poetic fashion.
But, not to take the thread off topic. Tesla was the rarest of gems. I eagerly await the next genius able to produce his kind of impact on civilization.

Nice post Wiggs.
Here is Tesla as played by David Bowie in the movie The Prestige.

I've known of him a long time and over the past year really took an interest because of his "death ray" aka particle ray and free energy...I'll post good books and website as I come across them (no pun intended and no homo).
We could have learned so much more from him.
lol @ Mike.

If he was so clever then why is he dead?

The Russians took his technology and I guarentee (as much as I can without proof.lol) they created and have that death ray...aka particle ray as does the U.S.

This is for you Johnny Falcon
(Tesla became a vegetarian in his later years, living on only milk, bread, honey, and vegetable juices.[165][127] Tesla argued that it is wrong to eat uneconomic meat when large numbers of people are starving; he also believed that plant food was "superior to [meat] in regard to both mechanical and mental performance". He also argued that animal slaughter was "wanton and cruel".[166])
-
Yes I have long suspected that Jew-Honey Falcon is at least a partial reincarnation of N.T.

Yes there must be some cool stuff - at least at experimental stage. what that is, is not known in very many places... oh, how much more one would know if working at defense ministries of these countries :P

Great post wiggs
Started reading about him lately...truly one of the greatest and most underrated minds of all time. Seemed like a good person as well, had the right idea about alot of things. Its a shame for all of humanity that his most potentially beneficial works were sequestered by 'the powers that be'....

Tesla: Genius. Edison: Getbigger.
No question!
Tesla perfected AC current by 1880 and his AC system is the exact same method we still use today .
Edison wanted to only use DC.

Funny how Edison is always talked up, when he's a complete chump in comparison.

Howard I know you're a teacher, but isn't your degree in physics or something that requires brains?

Grades in Engineering based Physics are curved. Howard probably averaged 50% on test but that converted to a "C" average.

Howard after reviewing my post, I realized it came off as an insult and in this instance I didn't mean it that way. Teachers and professors are very important and one of the main reasons I have my degree. What I should have asked was what your degree was in, I remember it being something brainy.

Good post Wiggs, 4 years ago I have visited Tesla's birthplace Smiljan in Croatia & Memorial Park Nikola Tesla, nice location.

........................ ........................ .....
Edison and Tesla break down like this:
Edison:
Edison indeed had technical knowledge,...and he conceived of a great many things (that were built by his staff)...He conceived of the Lighting & Power company, he conceived of sound recording, motion pictures, and all that it is true, he was brilliant. But...he had blind spots...and he wasn't a very good guy to work for.
As an example of blind spots...he had trouble getting his head around machines with no visible moving parts (Radio, vacuum tubes ((valves to you Europeans))) He had a Phonograph company that his son ran and was wildly successful…but slowly it went downhill because he would not let his son manufacture record players with radios in them. This was important because with the introduction of radio/phono combinations you had a volume control that you could turn up…and of course records mastered and played back with electronics sound much better. But Edison had trouble with the concept of electronics.
Ask me and some day I will relate how sex affected the development of the phonograph industry…
He also made verbal promises to employees and wouldn’t keep them…He did it to the guy who helped develop motion pictures technically, not just Tesla.
Tesla:
Indeed Tesla developed Alternating Current distribution…transformers,…high-tension transmission of current,…concept of radio waves,…and most importantly for electricity, Electric motors that could run on alternating current.
By using alternating current you could use transformers to step current up to high-tension levels for transmission for longer distances more efficiently than Direct Current. The first industrial application of his ideas came with his association with George Westinghouse in the construction of the Adams Niagara Power Station.
His blind spots;
His Alternating Current system,…the concept of radio waves,…were all brilliant and could be realized in the real world of applied physics (engineering)……..However…..He liked to talk batshit crazy…….
His talk of sending electric power at useful levels throughout the world wirelessly is…..
batshit crazy …..I can’t condense in just a few sentences a cogent and logical presentation why this is so…but it is.
His talk of electronically projecting destructive forces at a distance (death ray) through the atmosphere with the same destructive force as a 15-inch naval shell…I am skeptical.
I know that you will talk of the government impounding his papers at his demise…this was so that they could be evaluated to see just what he was thinking of.

Odd, a damn head scratcher. Should be titled "A genius pays for Cheetah to go out with a bang"
As far as Tesla, Edison was scared of the man's brilliance, so he had to undermine him. Treat him like a "damn immigrant". Edison, a true hater if there ever was one.

Where is the hot, naked Eastern European slut with massive tits ???
-
Edison was a crook and a whore of a man.
Tesla was winning and is still winning in our cell phones, radios, wifi, outlets and wireless electricity and everything else that he does not get rights to. Patents stolen, research burned to the ground deliberately. Some fucked up capitalists scum bags didn't also like his ideas such as free energy for all on earth.
Meh...
-

its not batshit crazy just not capitalist ok.
We have wireless electricity today, its not just a theory or experimental concept... its working... people didnt believe it today when they saw it, they wouldnt have believed tesla a long time ago... its just not wide spread yet...
even his remote controlled wireless electric boat the morons tried to find the 'cable' and called him a cookoo and fraud... yet they were just imbeciles uneducated and money hungry.

Ok, I now have permission to brag LOL.
BS chemistry- magna cum laude , MA in physics, EdD science education ( chemistry/physics)

I really find it amusing when people state things with such authority yet clearly show they have no fucking clue what they are talking about. There's nothing batshit crazy about transmitting power wirelessly and it's been proven to not just be a theory but working in practical applications such as wireless TV's (LG, Sony), bio-mechanical instruments, and many others. The distance right now is very paltry, usually only a few centimeters due to the loss of efficiency from transmitter to receiver, but that will improve with time. There was a group that one a prize from NASA that transmitted over a kilowatt of power several hundred meters with 80% efficiency IIRC.
He wasn't crazy, he was just way beyond his time and had a mind that was beyond comprehension to even those who are considered his peers today. I personally can't think of a single other individual on his level.

Good post and you sir, know your Tesla!
Tesla is my favorite person in the wacky world of physics, by far!
Did all that wonderful, practical stuff for mankind with AC systems.
But that guy was a real character that any getbigger would have loved.
He claimed that if he drank a glass of whiskey each day he would live to be 150 yrs of age.
The wife ( Catherine Johnson) of the editor of a top magazine of his day , actually slipped Tesla love letters offering him a good time, while the guy
interviewed Tesla in his lab ;). After his success with AC generators on Niagra , he wuld dine and party , dressed to the 9's with all the society hobnobbers at Delmonico's in NYC. In his 70's he got hit by a trolley car and was tough enough to walk himself to the hospital and lived until he was in his 80's after that.
His dream of sending industrial levels of current thru the air was his major mistake and due to him not following any reasonable calculations.
Unlike Edison, Tesla never cheated anyone.
-

The problem is trying to get large , industrial levels of power to travel any distance thru the atmosphere.
Air is a good insulator and hinders conduction of current my friend.

Urban myth promoted more by that movie "The Prestige".
He may have devloped that basic concept for particle beam weopon called the death ray however.
The ABL may be from a Tesla concept?

Marconi is credited with isolating radio waves, but fairly recently they have acknowledged that he stole his info from Tesla.
havent' read the whole post yet, so sorry if this has been stated.

The greatest most ripped off genius of the 20th and 21st century. He actually died in squaller as Edison and the other parrasites lived large,

I worked with a gentleman from crotia who schooled me on mr.Tesla back in 1997. I would inform people about his inventions and Edison being a theif, nobody believed but that has changed.

- croatian born serbian, so ?, oh he was american too ??.
examples:
-joseph weider = of polish jew origin
-steve (stjepan) stanko = croatian origin (the 1st mr.universe)
-john grimek = polish origin (2nd mr.universe)
-signore francesco columbo = "american"
-her arnold="american"
-senor oliva="american"
etc.,etc,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
