"Mad Genius, egghead, sociopath, presumptuous Croat" - so called contemporaries scientist Nikola Tesla, and I must say it was for nothing.
They said he slept only two hours a day, that night he wrote poetry, read or listened to music that could easily make the wheel on the street that suffered the fear of germs, so a hundred times a day, wash their hands, that superbly spoke eight languages, versed in the history and philosophy that since childhood he were seeing a flashing light, they say that could predict the future and even once saved his friends, telling them not to take the train, which soon derailed and crashed that his best friends were doves.
But an unusual nature Nikola Tesla fully pays for what he discovered wireless power transmission, he revealed fluorescent light, he invented the radio before Marconi did, he opened AC ... Perhaps a book would not be enough to list all of creation and discoveries of Nikola Tesla (only documented there were more than a thousand), although many of its development have sunk into oblivion: something burnt down in a fire, something Tesla destroyed himself under the influence of emotions.
I must say that Nicole's father, a priest, never approved of his son striving to science. Papa insisted that Nicola was certainly the seminary. The boy at first resisted, and then ... suddenly fell ill. So much so that even the desperate father promised his son that if he would meet with the forces and recover, then head off cravings for science he will not be. Nicola immediately went on the mend.
While studying at the University of Prague, Nikola Tesla began to rave alternator. The teachers looked at student-upstart both abnormal and twisted his temple. Then in 1882, Tesla took and collected his generator, bought a ticket on a ship and went to America to Edison himself, whose name then thundered in scientific circles, the one who created his devices so far, based on the DC. Tesla was sure and please enlighten colleague his discovery. But there it was. Edison was known as a pretty jealous person, so I decided to keep as close as possible competitor and took him to his work, however, he made the young inventor to work on it, the Edison Project DC. But, as we recall, Tesla slept even less of Napoleon and in his spare time, Edison could all night to do their own generator. He even offered to Edison unfriendly experience with this invention. Edison went on to dispute - said that if Tesla will be able to electrify using alternator one of his businesses, he will pay him 50 thousand dollars. Of course, he behind Tesla laughed at him and told colleagues: "The theory of alternating current will never work." But the experience was a success. And, of course, Edison forgot his promise to pay money to a young scientist.
Then, finally, with Tesla flew pink glasses, and he left Edison. Tesla harbored a grudge against Edison for many years, later he even refused the Nobel Prize because it offers to share between two scientists in half.
In 1887, Nikola Tesla found his first sponsor, financier James Carmen, who agreed to sponsor the opening of the company "Tesla Electric Light Company." Already in 1888, Nicola was able to submit its generator public at the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Young scientists then became very interested in the American tycoon George Westinghouse. He offered Tesla a huge amount for those standards - a million dollars - for a patent for his invention and for further construction at Niagara Falls Hydroelectric 50,000 horsepower based on the Tesla generator.
After the sale of the patent Tesla locked himself in his lab. Now he could do without thinking about their daily bread. And in 1893, thanks to its developments, Tesla was able to surprise not only colleagues. In Chicago at the World's Fair he missed through his body in the current two million volts while smiling victoriously stunned audience. Then he explained his trick - current treble is not fatal, because it passes through the surface.
In 1899 in Colorado Springs Nikola Tesla without any wiring could light bulbs 200 immediately. It would seem that this is-Well, lit, well, light bulbs. But he did it in his own style - the lighting was accompanied by thunder and lightning 40-meter, people fled the streets in panic. To do this trick, Tesla had to build a huge tower.
After such svetopredstavleniya scientist received a new proposal - to build the New York World Center wireless transmission "Vordenklif." The center was built in 1905. He was able to deliver energy to the enormous distances. But, unfortunately, the strangeness Tesla did not allow him to continue further work with their new sponsors. Financial bigwigs were afraid to cooperate further with the man who claimed that he can communicate with aliens and that they help him in his experiments.
Unknown, using the aliens themselves or in 1930 Nikola Tesla built the motor, and then with his help and electric. He even drove it in front of the astonished audience. But some of his colleagues laughed scientist called him a charlatan. Then, offended by the whole world, Tesla broke his motor.
Also, according to some of Nikola Tesla in 1898 invented a miracle device, which is due to vibrations created, allowed, he said, "to bring down the Brooklyn Bridge for an hour or longer to split apart the entire globe." Having tested the device on neighbors and causing their righteous anger, Tesla broke his invention, realizing that it could lead to the death of hundreds, thousands, millions, and even billions of innocent civilians.
Today the world worships scientist Nikola Tesla, because his projects - is the foundation for modern Electromechanics. But many acknowledge that he was a man out of time. Perhaps such a mind would be worth born two centuries later, then, most likely, most of his ideas could become a reality and not go into oblivion. He himself admitted: "I do my job for future generations" But it should be noted, of authoritative experts have a version that many developing Nikola Tesla stored in the secret archives of the CIA and waiting in the wings, or rather its new Nikola Tesla.
