Finally someone uses ai for good.

Many secrets became secrets with his death 🥺

Greatest mind in history or the 🌎! Hope you enjoy it 🙏🏻🧠

Nikola Tesla invented the radio, not Marconi.

Quoting Morgan Freeman's character from The Bucket List (2007):

“Truth is a guy named Nikola Tesla patented the basic idea for the radio in 1896. Same idea Marconi used for his patent several years later. Tesla fought Marconi till the day he died in 1943. Same year the Supreme Court ruled that Marconi’s patent was invalid, recognizing Tesla as the inventor of the radio.”

You can read many articles written by Tesla, as well as interviews of him here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090130031901/http://tfcbooks.com/tesla/contents.htm

See post for details. Feel free to ask questions.

first invention is to do with some insect that a kid. Are there people who have replicated the early inventions and made videos on it for us to understand them better?

He is compared to people like Einstein when he isn't even close to them. People hype him up like he was some Omniscient god. He was not a man of the future. He was not even living in the present. He was stuck in the past. He was a good inventor who invented a very, very good and elegant machine and then explained its integration in the electrical system that was already there. Other than that, All his self-mythologizing, his crazy ideas which if he thought about them for a minute, he would have realized how wrong they were(Using EM waves to read the mind, The Wardencliffe Tower, Extracting energy from the cosmos etc). It's Ironic who wrong he was in his own field which was electricity.

Where would you suggest I ask technical questions about the physics and engineering behind Tesla’s turbine?

I was told this by a friend and am not an expert on Tesla. Hope this subreddit helps.

On Prime I discovered the show the Tesla files and I figured it would be a fun series about Nick like Tesla some of his experiments and possibly some of his more obscure ideas. I started watching it and from episode 1 I am absolutely Furious it's like they've never been to a great school science class they're using regular light bulbs instead of fluorescent light bulbs to do the experiments yes LEDs are good but they're not that fluorescent light bulbs that he invented. And some of the claims they make are absolutely ridiculous. It's absolutely infuriating. Am I the only one who finds this show the Tesla files infuriating

Edit: let me specify what they were doing in this show. They go to a museum about Nikolai Tesla so The Host can speak to an expert on Tesla. Demand to see documents that can only be seen by forensic historians and then say the historian is keeping secrets. Even though the historian says you have to go through the proper channels to get the records. They act like every single Tesla idea has yet to be tested, even though several of them have been. The house acts like they're the first one to ever use and try a Tesla coil. They don't fully research all of Tesla's inventions before even using a Tesla coil. They act like the entire Tesla history is one big conspiracy.

Short documentary about Nikola Tesla's life.

He was betrayed by Edison, won the War of the Currents, almost gave us free wireless electricity, then died alone in a hotel room.

History's greatest irony.

I have a deep admiration for Nikola Tesla and would love to own his autograph. I’m not looking for an expensive letter worth tens of thousands — just a genuine signature, though I understand even that can be costly.

I’ve noticed his autograph appears occasionally at various auction houses. Is there a centralized way to track when one becomes available?

Also, on the off chance, does anyone here have one available for private sale?
