Nikola Tesla's rivalry with Thomas Edison, triumph over Edison, and achievements in hydroelectric power and wireless communication. Eerie Tesla's eccentricities and
Transcript
Some were confed cities all over the country that would allow Edison's incandescent bulbs to burn brightly and Nikola had it. Tom Edison fought against it, tooth and nail. Hell, there are no rules here! We're trying to accomplish something! The bitter Edison would even resort to electrocuting stray animals, including a rogue elephant, to incite public fear of Tesla's AC system. But Tesla would ultimately triumph over Edison by electrifying the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. It was a smashing success. Then he and partner George Westinghouse created the world's first hydroelectric system at Niagara Falls. It was an incredible gamble of the time, and no one was sure it would work except Tesla, the man of the hour. Nikola was now at the peak of his glory. He took to wearing formal clothes and wearing white gloves when starting experiments. He was a mystic who wrote in recited poetry and could speak six languages, yet he couldn't help his idiosyncrasies. People had no idea that he battled hallucinogenic episodes daily. I have seen all the air around me filled with tons of living flame. Their intensity instead of diminishing increased with time. He was also described as a maniac for cleaning this, and would avoid handshakes, and for an array of deep-seated phobias and compulsions. All repeated acts or operations I performed had to be divisible by three, and if I missed, I felt impelled to do it all over again, even if it took hours. He learned to control his runaway mind with supreme discipline. Tesla's unquenchable fire drove him onward. Nikola would soon engage the biggest fish in the pond while undertaking his greatest venture. Warden Cliff. This fantastic structure was the very culmination of Tesla's vision to create a worldwide communication system for sending sound and pictures. The primary goal was to beat Markonee for the honor of delivering the world's first transatlantic wireless signal. By no accident, Tesla's grand project was to be financed by the devil himself, JP Morgan. Your strange man and D Tesla, after the papers are signed, you may draw upon the house of Morgan, but it's important that I remain a silent partner. You do understand what that means. Don't you, Mr. Tesla? But Nikola had a secret. The system could also electrify the world. Warden Cliff would provide limitless, free energy, everywhere for everybody. When JP Morgan found out about this leap of technology he wouldn't tolerate it. He knew Tesla could deliver and the banker overload couldn't put a meter on it. A man always has two reasons for doing anything. A good reason. And the real reason. Mid-construction Morgan would cancel the contract and blackbolt Tesla. That's excluding him from any other investor. Mr. Morgan, are you going to leave me in a hole? I've made a thousand powerful enemies on your account. In a hundred years from now, this country would give me much for the first honor of transmitting power without wires. Warden Cliff faltered, and Markone sent his transatlantic signal. Tesla was suffice second nervous breakdown and never again what he regained his momentum as before. But despite his cruel fate, Nikola stayed the course. Decade after Decade would pass and he would bring forth new fantastic inventions. In transportation, air flight, and even warfare, his death been, as he intended, would bring an end to all warfare. An inventor to the end, all he ever wanted was to uplift the condition of humanity. But now in his hotel room, time was drawing short. He'd think a newspaper clippings and recalls some of the small moments of his life. His table for one. Walking the streets of New York. Horns in Grand Central Station, or fearing his many pigeons. No one could begin to imagine what great secrets this mad scientist kept locked inside his head. No one, except Jay Ed Gehover and his German. They waited patiently for the great man to pass, and were ready to take everything that Nikola left behind. The story is about a man who's powerful ideas live on, as much of his work is still classified and used in the most esoteric projects imaginable today. Nikola Tesla, single-handedly, changed the world for the benefit of mankind, yet has been rewarded with obscurity. It's time to bring his story out of the shadows and into the light. With his last breath, Nikola gently smiled. Let the future tell the truth, and the value he teach one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs.
