UNRAVELING NIKOLA TESLAS GREATEST SECRET: RADIANT ENERGY
If all the great inventions and discoveries of Nikola Tesla, nothing stood out with greater potential benefit to the whole of humanity than his discovery of Radiant Energy in 1889. The series of observations that led to the discovery of Radiant energy initially grew out of experiments that Tesla had conducted in an attempt to duplicate the results that Heinrich Hertz had claimed to achieve in affirming the existence of electromagnetic waves, the discovery of which Hertz announced in 1887. While replicating Hertz’s experiments, Tesla experimented with violently abrupt DC electrical discharges and discovered a new force in the process. Only after conducting exhaustive experimental trials

He was brimming over with buoyancy and optimism for the future In the 1890’s, Tesla conducted a large number of experiments which confirmed his theory and refined his understanding of the special conditions required for Radiant energy to express itself. He later expanded his New York work with the large scale experimental trials conducted at Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1899. Tesla, the humanitarian, wanted more than anything to share this enormous discovery with his fellow man. Tesla spoke of practical applications of radiant energy that were so wide reaching that they could have created a profound and immense leap into the future for all of mankind in practically every sector of daily life: Unlimited electricity could be made available anywhere and at any time, by merely pushing a rod into the ground and turning on the electrical appliance. Homes, farms, offices, factories, villages, libraries, museums, street lights, etc., could have all their lighting needs met by merely hanging ordinary light bulbs or fluorescent tubes anywhere desired- without the need for wiring -and produce brilliant white light 24 hours a day. Motor energy for any imagined use such as industrial applications, transportation, tractors, trucks, trains, boats, automobiles, air ships or planes could be powered freely-anywhere on the planet from a single …show more content…
During an earlier period, when Tesla himself had millions from his Polyphase AC generator royalty payments and other earnings, Morgan wanted to woo Tesla with a deal that effectively gave Morgan majority control over his patent rights and projects, but Tesla turned him down, telling Morgan that he had enough money of his own to fund his projects. While returning to his hotel from that very meeting with Morgan, however, Tesla was told that his laboratory had been burned to the ground. It represented a tremendous loss to Tesla and it shook him deeply. Everyone, of course, felt convinced that Morgan was behind the arson. In order to save face, Morgan was embarrassed by Tesla into putting up the money to pay for the rebuilding of a new lab as an act of “philanthropy”. From that time forward, however, other financial backers were not to be found. Morgan was powerful enough to black list Tesla among the Eastern Establishment elites that previously had hobnobbed and feted with Tesla as if he was one of their own. Black listing and ostracization by officialdom and financiers lifted somewhat after Morgan’s death, but generally continued to haunt Tesla for the rest of his life. Before the turn of the century, Tesla also willingly gave up millions, perhaps billions, in royalty earnings to George Westinghouse in an unprecedented act of
Anderson et al., the former employees of Tesla Streling Anderson and Chris Urmson attempted to recruit many engineers of Tesla Motors to their new company Aurora. Additionally, they were also alleged for stealing hundreds of gigabytes. Anderson and Urmson’s want to develop a self-driving car and improve its technology. Tesla is claiming that they violated the employment contract and breached a duty of loyalty to Tesla by recruiting Tesla engineers. the parties settled the lawsuit when Tesla agreed to withdraw its suit without damages and Aurora also agreed to pay Tesla $100,000 (Atkins,2017).
Napoleon of Wall Street J.P. Morgan was the most influential person in mid 1800 - early 1900s. He became the most powerful man in america who was only challenged by Andrew Carnegie and J.D. Rockefeller, together these men are worth 1 trillion dollars in today’s money - that's more than the top 40% combined wealth today. Morgan saved the US government twice - really he saved American business twice. He took the over expanded railroad and made it profitable, took Edison’s D.C. current and Tessa’s A.C. current combining them into General Electric lighting homes across America, bought Andrew Carnegie's steel business making into US Steel hoisting the company profit to 1 billion - for the first time in American history. J. Pierpont Morgan was
“People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocracy no matter how impressive their other talents were. ”- Andrew Carnegie All of these Titans were never able to settle with just boing mediocre like a everyday citizen. J.P Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller made our country by being smart, a risk-taker, and competitive. Without them who knows where we would be today.
There are now laws that require every study to be examined and approved by committees before any experiment involve humans is
Nikola Tesla and his accomplishments he achieved are so historically significant that his name left a mark on history and people acknowledge his work today. Which is shown in the following source (Hall, Nikola Tesla Figure From Progressive Era Research Paper Essay "Tesla: A scientific saint, wizard or carnival sideman?," 1986, p. 120) “Whether Tesla is the patron saint of modern electricity or some carnival sideman in the history of science is an issue that prompts a good deal of heated disagreement even now, 130 years after his birth. In Yugoslavia he is a national hero. To boosters in the International Tesla Society he is the unacknowledged inspiration for everything from radio to robots to radar” as it is shown nikola NIKOLA TESLA PROGRESSIVE ERA RESEARCH PAPER ESSAY 5 tesla revolutionized the science of electricity which is shown through his accomplishments.
While experimenting, he learns about the power of electricity and uses it to power create light. Though it seems he created his invention not for the good of his brothers, but to fill
The harnessing of electricity is emblematic of this trend. As it relates to the process of innovation, the work of developing electricity as a cheap and widely applicable power source fell increasingly to the newly organized industrial and corporate research labs. The first among these were Thomas Edison's Menlo Park lab in New Jersey (an industrial lab) and the company lab established at GE (a corporate lab) at the turn of the century. Following the trail blazed by Edison, the whole process of innovation came to rely more on specialists, trained scientists, collaboration, and corporate funding-establishing the basic blueprint for cradles of twentieth-century
Edison believed AC to be too dangerous to put in homes, and Tesla wanted to prove him wrong and left the company. Tesla finds George Westinghouse to invest and he tells people that it isn't dangerous and can light a house for a quarter of what Edison and Morgan can. Tesla and Edison found themselves in a battle when Niagara Falls was building the largest power station in the world but, was unable to decide whether it should be run on AC or DC. Eventually the company picks DC and Morgan immediately wanted to take revenge. Morgan threatens Westinghouse with a lawsuit knowing he cant afford it and begins buying shares of the company until he has complete control.
J. Stiles writes in his long but fascinating new biography of the Commodore, "The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt." "The modern economic mind began to emerge in Vanderbilt's lifetime," Stiles writes, "amid fierce debate, confusion, and intense resistance. " The Panic of 1873 takes up little space in the book, coming at the end of the Commodore's career, but its resonance with today's crisis makes it stand out, a reminder that Vanderbilt's life and times still have much to teach
“All is well because all grows better.” A quote one of America’s best entrepreneurs, Andrew Carnegie. A man who revolutionized the steel industry through perseverance and hard work. Although he had a bad time with the Homestead, he was not to blame, and it did not represent his character or how he feels. An entrepreneur is someone who ho organizes or operates a business and makes great risks in order to do so.
In this time and age, countless advances in technology have been made, including ones that respond to Regan’s point. These modern methods include sophisticated tests using human cells and tissues, advanced computer-modeling techniques, and studies with human volunteers. These may even lead to more accurate results. I argue that animal testing is wasteful because it prolongs the suffering of humans waiting for results of misleading experiments. Not all tests done to animals apply to humans, for our genetic makeup and composition differ from each other.
Nikola Tesla is known for his amazing intelligence. Three of his most shocking inventions show this. One of Tesla’s most revolutionary inventions is the AC induction motor. Tesla had to figure out several equations for the invention of the induction motor. This was no problem for Tesla, as he could do calculus in his head.
Although the scientists in the 1900s had warned the world about the shortage, many people still refuse to accept the idea that they will eventually be eventually using solar power as the only option. And each year, the debt from the consumer rate increases for every electricity company. For instance, as
US auto industry is full of auto manufacturing companies, BMW Group, Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, Ford Motors, General Motors, Honda/Acura, Hyundai/Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Subaru are the main competitors in US Auto market. For 2012 as a whole, automakers sold approximately 14.5 million vehicles in the U.S. Market, a 13 percent increase from 2011 and the highest annual sales total since 2007 marking the third consecutive year of annual sales increases of at least 10 percent. As fuel prices remain high and there is greater concern for the environment, more energy efficient cars are increasing in demand.
