hi welcome to another cold fusion video. the human mind is truly an incredible
00:25.9
00:31.9
thing capable speech thought critical thinking and imagination when we think
00:32.0
00:34.8
of a great legendary minds of this world we think of the brilliance of people
00:35.0
00:39.0
like Einstein she taught us many things about the low-level rules that govern
00:39.1
00:43.9
our universe fundamental things like time space and matter but in terms of
00:44.0
00:48.0
practical discoveries that are the basis for the technologies we use each and
00:48.1
00:53.0
every day it was nikola Tesla it was the most brilliant of all he had a mind of
00:53.1
00:58.0
the rarest kind he can memorize entire books and visualize inventions with
00:58.1
01:03.0
pinpoint accuracy once he had the concept of an invention fully visualized
01:03.1
01:07.0
you then undertook the hard work to bring it to reality in comparison most
01:07.1
01:11.0
other scientists and engineers unwittingly narrow-minded in their
01:11.1
01:14.0
thinking how is it that such a man
01:14.1
01:18.0
existing vaguely in the public consciousness only as a fuzzy Hayes
01:18.1
01:24.0
Justin knowledge today let's change there in this video you'll learn all
01:24.1
01:29.0
about Nikola Tesla and the way he changed the world you livin now let's

begin testing of serbian heritage was born in 1856 in a small village within
01:37.1
01:42.0
the Austrian Empire or modern-day croatia Tesla's birthday was during a
01:42.1
01:47.0
particularly violent lightning storm reading this as a bad omen the midwife
01:47.1
01:52.0
said to Tesla's mother that Tesla would be a child of darkness test his mom
01:52.1
01:58.0
immediately replied no he will be a child of lies as well say late on this
01:58.1
02:03.0
statement was significant from an early age it was clear that Tesla was a
02:03.1
02:07.0
remarkable kid while in high school he had the ability to perform integral
02:07.1
02:11.0
calculus in his head it was so unusual that his teachers thought he was
02:11.1
02:17.0
cheating Tesla also possessed any tetek memory which means he could recall
02:17.1
02:22.0
entire books and images in great detail a gift which he attributed to his mother
02:22.1
02:25.0
he allegedly used his imagination to temper vision
02:25.1
02:31.0
and vivid nightmares that he had as a child and surprisingly Tesla finished
02:31.1
02:37.0
high school early at age 17 though Tesla had a brush with death after contracting
02:37.1
02:41.0
cholera in which he played it he might leave if his father let him study
02:41.1
02:45.0
engineering instead of the planned path of a priest or a career in the Army
02:45.1
02:51.0
Tesla's father agreed despite being bedridden and incredibly ill at the time
02:51.1
02:57.0
to the astonishment of his family he miraculously recovered keeping true to
02:57.1
03:01.0
his agreement restless father allowed the teenager to study engineering at
03:01.1
03:05.0
University and the course of history would be changed forever at that moment
03:05.1
03:12.0
during university in Austria at age 21 tested at the highest grades possible
03:12.1
03:16.0
could speak eight languages and was called a star student of the first rank
03:16.1
03:18.0
by the university's Dean
03:18.1
03:23.0
claim to work from 3 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily and because of this professors
03:23.1
03:27.0
wrote a letter to Tesla's father stating that his son may be killed due to
03:27.1
03:33.0
overwork at the end of his second year things to Catan test lost his
03:33.1
03:37.0
scholarship and became addicted to gambling and by his third test led
03:37.1
03:41.0
gambled away his entire loud and tuition money he did however manage to Camelback
03:41.1
03:45.0
losses and return the balance back to his family but the damage to his studies
03:45.1
03:50.0
have been done when exam time came around Tesla was unprepared and ask for
03:50.1
03:54.0
an extension to study but he was denied he never graduated from the University
03:54.1
04:00.0
and did not receive grades 4 A's last semester
04:00.1
04:04.0
in December of 1878 to hide the fact that he had dropped out of university
04:04.1
04:09.0
Tesla cut all ties with this family it was so sudden that his friend had
04:09.1
04:14.0
thought he had drowned in a river in north Croatia in 1880 he moved to
04:14.1
04:20.0
Budapest and then finally to america just for stands in his pocket after

Tesla began his work for Thomas Edison a continent are listed company in 1882 he
04:27.1
04:33.0
has a word on Edison many people today consider thomas edison as the father of
04:33.1
04:38.0
the lab all but he was more along the lines of the Steve Jobs fly ball that is
04:38.1
04:42.0
it hasn't figured out how to sell the lipo by improving on ideas of 22 other
04:42.1
04:44.0
man before him
04:44.1
04:49.0
thomas edison went on to found general electric which are also a video on so if
04:49.1
04:55.0
you wanna see that check the description below ok back to this story in 1885
04:55.1
04:59.0
Tesla said that he could redesign edison's desi motors and generators
04:59.1
05:04.0
which were very inefficient at the time and had a tendency to Spock and break
05:04.1
05:09.0
down he doesn't like the idea and offered Tesla 1 million USD dollars in
05:09.1
05:11.0
today's currency for the job
05:11.1
05:15.0
got to work and did as he was promised fixing all the problems with the motors
05:15.1
05:20.0
linear motors and generators are now simply didn't Spock and we're much more
05:20.1
05:25.0
reliable in fact Tesla design was so good that is still used today for the
05:25.1
05:29.0
motors that power anything from household appliances to water pumps
05:29.1
05:34.0
power tools disk drives and haptic feedback systems and of course the Tesla
05:34.1
05:39.0
electric car when Tesla had completed his job and ask for the money it is
05:39.1
05:46.0
unlocked and stated mr. test line we do not understand our American humor Tesla
05:46.1
05:50.0
had just been ripped off big time and left Edison's company he'd had enough
05:50.1
05:54.0
meanwhile at this time something monumental was happening
05:54.1
05:58.0
the electrical revolution was just about to take place
05:58.1
06:02.0
electricity Muslim next big thing to change the entire planet it created an
06:02.1
06:07.0
investment data bubble much greater than the favor that was the dot-com bubble of
06:07.1
06:11.0
the nineteen nineties billion dollar industries arose out of nowhere and the
06:11.1
06:15.0
American economy was lifted into an enhanced growth period that would last
06:15.1
06:20.0
for decades this was due to sudden quantum leaps in manufacturing household
06:20.1
06:26.0
technology and general efficiency of work work and life was simply easier we
06:26.1
06:30.0
simply just can't comprehend this change today why you might be asking because
06:30.1
06:35.0
everyone alive today is born with electricity the sheer magnitude of
06:35.1
06:39.0
technological change that resulted from household electricity was truly
06:39.1
06:45.0
astonishing so after being cheated by Edison Tesla decided to put his energy
06:45.1
06:49.0
into joining the electric revolution in the form of the research of alternating
06:49.1
06:56.0
current AC was a financial backers to support his vision of an AC powered
06:56.1
07:01.0
world Tesla took up a job of digging ditches for $2 a day off $50 in today's
07:01.1
07:07.0
currency to make ends meet he described this period as very painful tested
07:07.1
07:11.0
venturi struck up a partnership with westinghouse this would put him in
07:11.1
07:16.0
direct competition with Edison and his direct current HVDC system backed by
07:16.1
07:21.0
General Electric edison's desi system created dangerous box couldn't transmit
07:21.1
07:23.0
electricity very far
07:23.1
07:28.0
require power plant every few Columbus with cables as thick as you are in other
07:28.1
07:32.0
words it was pretty terribly ceded power every home on this planet
07:32.1
07:39.0
a/c system on the other hand used to transmit electricity over long distances
07:39.1
07:44.0
the fight was on and the prize for the winner was the privilege of lighting up
07:44.1
07:47.0
the entire world by 1893
07:47.1
07:52.0
been many shady business deals stolen ideas and patents depression medicine
07:52.1
07:55.0
and his money interests over Tesla's inventions
07:55.1
08:00.0
feud had reached boiling point and with this the war of occurrence had reached
08:00.1
08:10.0
at deep down it is the new that his system of here to test but of course he
08:10.1
08:14.0
didn't want the public's analyst he needed a way to make the public despite
08:14.1
08:21.0
AC and accept Dec but how families living the Edison's laboratory began to
08:21.1
08:26.0
notice something a little strange their pets suddenly began to disappear these
08:26.1
08:31.0
mysterious disappearances the work of aliens but a group of schoolboys pay
08:31.1
08:37.0
$0.25 each animal that they stole this was edison solution once edison gather
08:37.1
08:42.0
the cats dogs and other animals from the school boys he publicly electrocuted
08:42.1
08:47.0
them using Tesla's AC current to prove that it was dangerous too dangerous to
08:47.1
08:51.0
be used in any home in addition to this it is aided in the creation of the
08:51.1
08:57.0
electric chair making sure that I used AC current tester responded to all of
08:57.1
09:01.0
this by demonstrating that AC was perfectly say bye famously shooting
09:01.1
09:06.0
electric current through his own body to produce light at the 1893 World's Fair
09:06.1
09:13.0
this was check made to Edison and a symbolic turning point as the years went
09:13.1
09:17.0
on a see increased in popularity and became the standard due to its technical
09:17.1
09:21.0
advantages as a result of his inventions
09:21.1
09:25.0
test low shot into the stratosphere of started rubbing shoulders with the most
09:25.1
09:29.0
important people of the day he was universally loved by citizens because he
09:29.1
09:34.0
helped make their lives easier from arriving with just four cents in his
09:34.1
09:38.0
pocket to now have an unprecedented fame things have certainly changed for test
09:38.1
09:41.0
line and is brilliant and hard work has paid off
09:41.1
09:46.0
meanwhile edison became more and more despised by others within general
09:46.1
09:50.0
electric and eventually lost control of the company after a series of messages
09:50.1
09:57.0
with all that being said to give credit he did invent a phonograph and motion
09:57.1
10:03.0
picture camera so he also has contributed greatly to society during
10:03.1
10:08.0
the War of the current tests designed AC motors generators transformers and power
10:08.1
10:13.0
transmission technologies resulting in 25 of the most valuable patents since
10:13.1
10:18.0
the invention of the telephone he's designed was so good that we still use
10:18.1
10:23.0
them today in all the systems that power our homes a fact which we take for
10:23.1
10:29.0
granted this in itself was an incredible achievement by Tesla but he was just
10:29.1
10:33.0
getting started over the next few years
10:33.1
10:37.0
hadn't found a few foundational technologies that drove the 20th century
