Meng Xiaohui: "There are still 10 years before the end of the Bismarck ambiguity policy, so we can have a good relationship with the Germans at present, after all, we have already made enemies with Citigroup, plus China and ASEAN in the future." ”

An Yu: "And the question of whether we are a technology country or an energy country just discussed, I think we can have a debate in the University of Science and Technology, and people of insight can speak freely, so as to provide a reference plan for our decision-making." ”

Li Song: "By the way, have you been to the research institute to see Nikola Tesla's invention?" ”

Meng Xiaohui: "Hey!! How so? His whimsical ideas are so great that we are also at a loss. ”

Well, we miss this genius again.

He is known as the greatest scientist in history, the closest man to God, but now, few people know about his deeds.

He fought with Eddie all his life, refused the Nobel Prize 11 times, gave up becoming the richest man in the world, never married for the cause of science, slept only 2 hours a day, owned 700 inventions, and was called "God", but in the end, he died of poverty. He, that is, Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla, born in Croatia in 1856, was born into a Serb family.

Born from a humble background, his family is poor, he has not received a systematic university education, and he has not found a job at the age of 24.

24-year-old Tesla

Tesla's appearance, without the temperament of a genius, can even be said to be a failure.

In 1882, he became an engineer for a telephone company. Tesla began to show its talent and designed the first induction motor model.

In 1884, with a letter of recommendation from his former employer, Tesla came to the United States for the first time and met the legendary Edison.

Thomas Edison, yes, the one who invented the light bulb. Seeing the letter of recommendation, Edison immediately decided to hire Tesla.

Because the letter says, "I know that there are two great people, one is you and the other is this young man. ”

Starting with a simple appliance design, to solving tricky puzzles, Edison was amazed by Tesla's talent.

Tesla redesigned the DC motor and asked for a promised $50,000 payment, but Edison turned him down. Edison: Tesla, you don't understand American humor. Tesla: Huh.

Tesla demanded a salary increase from $18 to $25, but Edison turned him down. Tesla: Huh.

didn't even give 25 yuan, and Tesla resigned angrily.

Let's go, start a business!

Edison and Tesla went from falling in love to killing each other. Let's start with direct current and alternating current.

Edison was a diehard of direct current, and Tesla mainly promoted alternating current. It can be said that the battle between direct current and alternating current determines the life and death of the two companies.

Two great men, began to stumble.

In order to "black" alternating current, Edison opened his mind. Bribed government officials to change the death penalty from hanging to alternating current.

Even hired schoolchildren to electrocute stray cats and dogs with alternating current. This is used to promote the dangers of alternating current.

Tesla, on the other hand, firmly believes that "if you are not black, the alternating current is there", invented the asynchronous motor, and demonstrated the reliability and safety of alternating current through the lighting project of the Columbia Exposition, and finally won the "battle of current".

Alternating current also replaced direct current as the mainstream, laying the foundation for modern electricity.

Therefore, Tesla, not Edison, is the true "father of the electric age"

The Edison above may not be the same as you remember. The following introduction may once again subvert your "three views".

Who invented radio? Galilmo Marconi.

Galilmo Marconi

He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1909. The fact is that Tesla patented radio technology in 1897.

With Edison's intervention, the U.S. Patent Office revoked Tesla's patent rights and granted Marconi instead.

In 1943, the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed the validity of Nikola Tesla's patent and invalidated Marconi's radio patent.

Who invented radar? Robert Watson Watt.

Robert Watson Watt

This Englishman invented the first practical radar in 1935.

The fact is that back in 1917, Tesla proposed the idea to the US Navy.

Coincidentally, Edison was the head of the Naval R&D Center at the time, and then, there was no more.

Who discovered the X-rays? William Conrad Roentgenium.

William Conrad Röntgen also won the Nobel Prize in Physics for this. The fact is that Tesla discovered X-rays before Roentgenium and warned that the thing was dangerous, refusing to carry out medical experiments.

However, his "good friend" Edison adhered to the concept of "what the enemy opposes is what we support", and tried his best to do X-ray medical experiments.

Eventually, due to long-term exposure to radiation, Edison's assistant amputated his leg to save his life, and he himself nearly lost his sight.

Of course, Tesla is not all about "making wedding dresses for others".

He invented the remote control, engine spark plugs, neon lights, modern electric motors......

Tesla designed an induction motor, and he built the world's first hydroelectric power station, the Niagara Hydroelectric Station.

He was the first to successfully record the reception of radio waves from outer space, and he held a patent for transistors more than a hundred years ago.

You might say that these inventions sound awesome at first glance, but that's what it is when you think about it. In the age of the Big Bang, there is nothing unusual.

Well, let's take a look at Tesla's black technology.

In 1898, Tesla built an oscillator capable of producing artificial earthquakes, and when frequented, nearly flattened New York City.

In 1899, Tesla created a large number of ball lightning bolts, which is the only time in the world that ball lightning has been made in a laboratory so far.

In 1901, Tesla built the Worden Crevert Tower for experiments on wireless power transfer across the Atlantic.

The "wireless charging technology" that mobile phones boast about now is actually what Tesla played 100 years ago.

Tesla also designed an "airplane without wings, without ailerons, without propellers, without other external devices." The flight speed is extremely high, and the endurance and drive are achieved entirely by reaction.

If the above is the scope of a scientist's or inventor's career, then the following one is a little bit out of business.

In his busy schedule, Tesla also criticized Einstein. Believing that the "theory of relativity" is mostly wrong, he has come up with his own set of theories.

In addition to his scientific achievements, he was also a poet, philosopher, music connoisseur, pigeon breeder, linguist, and Vedic expert.

He is fluent in eight languages, Serbian, English, Czech, German, French, Hungarian, Italian, Latin.

He is so awesome that he is known as the "God of Science"

Tesla was on the cover of Time

So much so that the rivers and lakes are full of his legends:

Some say that he predicted the First and Second World Wars;

Some say that he foresaw the sinking of the Titanic;

Some say he created the Tunguska explosion, which was 1,000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb;

Some people say that he can use electromagnetism to travel through time and space;

Some say the FBI hung his picture in the number one spot in the classified building.

……

And the truth is - he is sincere, humble, well-dressed, humorous, and noble.

In order to dedicate himself to the cause of scientific research, he never married.

He only sleeps 2 hours a day, has obtained more than 700 invention patents alone, and has cooperated in the development of more than 1,000 kinds.

He has been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics 11 times, all of which are famous.

As the inventor of alternating current, within a year, he can become the richest man in the world by relying on patent fees. However, he resolutely tore up the "alternating current patent" and opened it to the public for free.

Eventually, a lifetime of poverty was lost.

In 1943, Nikola Tesla died in poverty and loneliness.

Today, when it comes to Tesla, most people think of an electric car, not a scientist.

Tesla Electric Cars Tesla electric car fans may not know that in 2003, a tech maniac named Elon Musk founded a cool electric car business named Tesla. It was in tribute to his idol: Nikola Tesla.
