AC and DC
They are great figures throughout history but behind the magnitude of
the discoveries have important roles behind him, the narrative could
have been fake, but when history has been talk of interest must be in
the uninstall. A story of 1900 years ago, without realizing it has made our curiosity about history. The two names above is an important role in modern human life, something that can not be ignored because it is there. But when history speaks of evil or even bad object exaggerating history and making history into a narrative, not a good thing.
In this history there is in the adorable characters and figures on the
bad about, from thousands of articles I read about Tesla and Thomas.
as if there are at Tuhankan and in Setankan. In 1900 a
thousand years ago requiring people to create a telegraph, steam engine,
photo cameras, telephone or other important things and people who held
the baton at last become Tuhankan to forget God and forget we are also
helping thousands of people behind them. This lesson
teaches us that "ninety-nine parts of all the things that proceed from
the intellect is plagiarism, pure and simple, and lessons should make us
humble. But no one can do that." (Mark Twain)
A habit of reading will make you know about history, good or bad. However,
the concern is if you can get lost without a sure foundation, and I am
very sad to admit the truth if someone menuhankan someone that a person
is considered very high.
There are quite a few mistakes and misunderstandings on both these figures, Tesla and Edison. But the mistake that until now there is a history that has been NARRATIVE.
Tesla is Creating Alternating Current And He Is not the main actors in the War of electric current.
The first thing:
In the past most of the world is still lit by candles, electrical
system, known as alternating current, and to this day is the energy at
every home on this planet. Who should we give thanks to the discovery that led mankind into this change? Nikola Tesla.
That is wrong. Alternating current developed by Michael Faraday in principle and in practice by Hippolyte Pixii in the early 19th century. Practical device using air conditioning in the medical world was developed before Tesla was born. Contemporaries
of Tesla worked for George Westinghouse developed a practical method
for distributing power from the AC power before Tesla came to work for
Westinghouse. Tesla himself thoroughly studied the use of air conditioning in college electrical engineering degree he has.
Now, Tesla is helping fix the air conditioner? Yes. Did he make some innovations, the key is making it more practical? Of course. There is no question about it. He had an intuitive understanding of electricity. He can make it fit his will. But what he really needed to renew the AC as the dominant means of transmission of electric power? Almost certainly not. George
Westinghouse was the one who won the current war in the United States
and in Europe, AC won the war almost before they begin.
Most of the Oatmeal to say about Edison right. Yes, Edison
did not put the public demonstrations where he electrocuted animals to
demonstrate the dangers of alternating current. Yes, he struggled to his belief that the direct current is a better way to transmit electricity. He was wrong. But, you know, AC is more dangerous than DC if not handled properly. Is it possible that Edison really believed that AC was dangerous and did not think it will be used? Very rare on the Internet there is a possibility like that. NARRATIVE return to their needs in the Internet world.
And one more thing. Need to show that the alternating
current is superior to the power transmission (although the technology
is constantly changing). But like Alex Waller rightly points out in his critique of some narrative about Tesla:
The irony is that the computer used to draw graphics runs on DC power. The phone also runs on DC power. In
fact, if you went around the house and see all the electronic devices
(rice cookers, microwave ovens, clocks, televisions, laptops, stereo,
etc.), we will see that almost every electronic item requires a
conversion from AC to DC power before it can be used. This is due to an alternating current is great for electronics goods. Nonsense for powering electronics. It could be concluded if Tesla is the father of the Age of Electric, and Edison is the father of the Electronic Age.
Edison's invention is the signature of the bulb. Of course,
Edison did not actually invent the light bulb, something which the
narrative is shown when he says "Edison did not invent the light bulb,
he improved the ideas of the 22 other men who pioneered in front of the
bulb. Edison just found a way to sell light bulbs."
But say the wrong Oatmeal. First of all, I would argue
that almost every discovery in engineering or science is an improvement
on what has come before, such as improving the Tesla to the alternating
current. It's called INNOVATION. It is a social process that occurs in a social context. As Robert Heinlein once said, "When the train comes, but you are not boarded the train before the train." In other words, the discoveries made in the context of scientific and engineering understanding. Some
individuals move forward faster than others, but in the end, the most
intelligent person in the world can not find a light bulb when there is
no basis for it.
Second :
Developing a narrative that does not appreciate why the Edison light bulb sold. He
was able to sell because through many challenges in the work, both by
itself and the scientists and engineers who work for him, he was able to
develop a practical light bulb. Prior to obtaining improvements of Edison, incandescent bulbs are so quick to fire because the material. Edison still researching the issue. And
many of the people who pioneered the light bulb before it came to the
Edison, like Joseph Swan, openly admires Edison solutions to engineering
problems are very difficult.
Edison does not prevent Tesla from Finding Radar
Perhaps
one of the oddest claims in the developing narrative is that Tesla
developed the idea for radar during World War I, but was thwarted by
Thomas Edison. It is true that Thomas Edison Consultative Council contacted the Navy during World War I. And it is true that Tesla gave the idea to use radio waves to track targets in a way that anticipates the radar. This is also true that the Naval Consulting Board rejected Tesla project.
Do you know why? Because Tesla made as a means of tracking radar on the submarine. Naval
Consulting Board members noted, correctly, water will weaken radio
waves to find the point, and it will be useful for submarines. That was true during World War I, and it is also true today. That's
why the Naval Consulting Board to use sonar instead which is still a
way of tracking submarines (not found direct involvement of Edison.
Consultative Council does not know much, even though Britain had earlier
after developing a prototype sonar in 1916.)
Similarly, Tesla who invented radar, as the narrative develops Claims, no. He merely gives an idea, but never develop prototypenya. That
said, much of his work is the backbone for the research radar in the
1930's, and also there are a lot of work done in developing the final
radar Tesla. Tesla showed the way, but there is a long road ahead challenging. Edison once said, "I am proud of the fact that I have never found a weapon to kill." That's something that Tesla could not say.
Tesla is not the person who discovered the first X-Rays
In fact, the discovery of X-Rays are not Tesla as the first. He experimented with X-Ray before Wilhelm Rontgen, that's true. However, many researchers also are experimenting with X-Ray. X-rays
are not finished, though, some of them know what they are they face
(eg, they are not aware of cooperatively scrutinize Chest X-Rays to
publish his work). Tesla to identify hazards and X-Rays did not experiment much.
This then leads to one of the most narrative impact of the developing
world, where making things worse for the death of Clarence Dally to drop
Edison Edison's assistant.
These are some of the most outdated. Please turn the clock back to the readers of the 1900s. People do not really understand how radiation works and how dangerous it is. When
Edison was experimenting X-Ray, "trials to man" was conducted by Edison
himself and his assistants, who are ready to volunteer. Because radiation is not yet understood, they both took an excessive dose and terburukpun things happen. This is the fate of many brilliant researchers in the early days of radiation research. For example, as Marie and Pierre Curie.
Moreover, Edison was haunted by the death of Dally his assistant. He too suffers. Before Dally died and in his suffering, Edison gave his wages, take care of her until the day he died.
Finally, the work that Edison and Dally did not cause a lot of progress in X-Ray as we know it today. X-Ray at your doctor's office? Still use the basic design of Edison. Tesla refused to experiment with medical X-Rays. Edison did do the research. And he suffered for it. But in so doing, Edison invented a device that has saved lives and alleviate suffering for millions. And while Edison himself stopped using X-Rays for fear, he had this to say when he was asked.
"I do not want to know anything about X-rays. In the hands of an
experienced operator they are a valuable addition to the operation,
location as they do, the object is hidden from view, and gives results,
for example; surgery for appendicitis almost certainly be done. But X
-Ray is also dangerous, deadly, in experienced hands, or even in the
hands of a man who uses them continuously during the experiment. "
True.
Tesla was not God and not Satan's Thomas
Tesla gave little attention to the brilliant scientists and
engineers who develop such things as wireless communication, remote
control, and other things. This is not to say that Tesla does not have a big hand in many of the discoveries which he did! But many other people working on them as well. They build on earlier work, Tesla developed and developing practical invention. That's how science and engineering work. The inventors who come after Tesla Tesla repair work, just like Tesla is built on the work of Faraday, Pixii, and many others.
humans can one interpret history as a narrative in the days of the onset times in past him. sy
agree Tesla is the father of the Age of Electric (Electrical), the
Edison is the Father of the Electronic Age (an age where TV, Hp,
electronic goods that use DC current).
Edison did not actually find an incandescent bulb. Edison only find a way to sell light bulbs.
Tesla was not as gods, heroes, or God. Thomas Edison is also not a demon, devil, or criminals. They're both strong-willed brilliant
the man who helped build our modern world. They both do great things and terrible things even sacrificing their own lives.
They both are brilliant People

Right about some things and they can also be wrong to others. They have weaknesses, habits, passions, misunderstandings and moments of magic. In other words, they are both human.
I tried to invite the world community to better appreciate the history,
there is no need to add the plus-or overstated because if such a history
not as a longer history but only a narrative or a myth that should
deserve the truth and we keep the historical authenticity.
"Remember that past history is the key to a better future and history is
proof that God exists with the creatures of His creation"
Hopefully you are one who appreciates history, and not a stain of history. My respect and I thank you.
