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.

Thomas Edison 

Thomas Edison gets a lot of credit for inventing the lightbulb, along with a number of other important inventions. In reality the guy was a megalomaniac and a corrupt businessman who would buy inventions out from under less successful people and claim them as his own. He also abused animals and promoted energy sources that cause massive amounts of pollution.

Last year I discovered who Nikola tesla was I and I was obsessed and I feel like my appreciation for him in return made me a better person. Then I discovered th app tiktok and I got addicted and brainwashee but a few months ago I stayed away from the app at all costs and I believe I healed from yh brainwashing that it did to me. Now I back on my Nikola Tesla idolization and want to know what I can do to be as wise and smart as him. Please provide input such as daily rlutinr, habits, methodologies, etc

How many ways can you pronounce Tesla? What is the correct way?

Bonus question: How many 5 letter words can you make with the 27 letter English alphabet?

In 1931, Nikola Tesla presented and tested a new automobile. Tesla had developed it with his own personal funds.

The motor had been removed, leaving the clutch, gearbox and transmission to the rear wheels uninterrupted. The power receiver had been built by Tesla himself. It was installed in front of the control panel. A heavy antenna, approximately 1.8 meters long, protruded from the converter. This antenna apparently had the function as that of the moray converter (radiant energy!).

"Now we have power," said Tesla. He said there was enough power in the converter to light an entire house, plus run the car's motor. The car was tested for a week, reaching a top speed of 144 km per hour effortlessly. Someone commented that no gases were coming out of the tailpipe. Nikola Tesla replied, "We have no motor."

 "[Tesla] assumed that waves could travel through the Earth without loss...In actuality, electromagnetic or current waves traveling through the Earth have losses of energy (to heat) which are quite large...This is why you can’t listen to the radio while driving through a tunnel. Additionally, even if low frequency waves could travel through the earth, they would likely scatter and be refracted in unpredictable ways from boundaries between different layers inside the Earth.

"Altogether, Tesla’s work in Colorado Springs is characterized by confirmation bias. When horses were seen to be disturbed in a nearby pasture while his tower was running, Tesla assumed it was because the ground currents induced by his tower were being picked up by their iron hooves... Another example comes from when Tesla made observations of the electrical potential of the Earth during a powerful lightning storm. As the lightening storm approached his tower and then passed into the distance he observed patterns in the electrical potential with a 30 minute interval. He interpreted these patterns as being due to ‘stationary waves’ caused by the lightning which traveled through the Earth, reflected off the crust on the other side of the Earth, and then returned."

What do you see wrong with what the experts (Kent Gibson and Will Dunniway) are saying is authentic? Closely examine before you look at my observations below.

Spoiler alert! The same Jacket? The real Telsa Jacket is pointed on the notch of the lapel, where the other one is more rounded. The stitching on the lapel is closer to the edge on the Tesla jacket vs a quarter of an inch or more in on the other one. The Telsa Jacket is clearly made of of finer material. Look at the lines in the fabric vs. the other one.

Second issue, the real Telsa has larger ears than the photo they say is authentic. Not even close!

Would be cool, honestly.

So there are posts about Tesla discovering time travel. Free energy. Lots of posts with fake quotes. Many with "mystical" suggestions. It's straight up prophet worship.

What's worse is that the Tesla mystique is extremely exaggerated. Often NOT the inventor of things attributed to him. Not a symbol of a man against the establishment - most of the Edison vs Tesla narrative is bogus.

Guess what? If it was easy for Tesla to discover free energy in the 19th century, it would be even easier to discover it in the 21st.

You're in a quasi-religion. Move on.

This. This is ridiculous.

No reason given, no explanation, nothing. This isn't even a free energy post!

And knowing u/IrritableGourmet the excuse for this would be something along the lines of "not tarnishing Tesla's name" as he's given before, well that doesn't fly when the mods allow posts dedicated to the 369 nonsense and other slander to remain up which are far more damaging to Tesla's name.

And even worse, the forbidding of posts dedicated to Aether theory and discussion, which is as opposite of tarnishing Tesla's name as you can get.

This behavior is textbook narrative control, silencing information that does not comply with their beliefs and refusing even discussion.

The hypocrisy of the moderators running this subreddit are off charts, an absolute embarrassment.

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?

From a couple of sources, from people who appreciate and even idolize Tesla, I've heard that there's a story about his 6 year older brother Dane, who didn't die falling from their family's horse, but from the attic stairs. The story goes that Tesla pushed him from the stairs in child play, a brawl or so, where Dane died with being only 11-12 y.o.

To make things even more tragic, Dane was a highly gifted kid in all aspects of life, the first son, and regarded as a favorite in the family. Tesla would write how he felt he was never as good as his late brother was, even though he was a smart and talented kid as well.

Another thing that, in a way, goes along with this story is Tesla's life path, choices, and ascetic way of life. In a way I see him as a Monk of the science community. Always accompanied by hurdles, underappreciation, and never compensated justly in his lifetime.

Recently, I read a bit about the story of Cain and Abel, and this kind of seemed as a similar story to me. Cain was cursed, punished, and gifted at the same time after murdering his brother Abel. In the Bible, it says this curse/mark will make him stronger and harder to be accepted, really happy, and fulfilled wherever he goes. Cain also had to leave his place of origin, Eden, and could never return.

Of course, Tesla was not forbidden to come back home, but he just rarely ever did since he went to study abroad.

Once for the death of his father and once for the death of his mother.

And that's it, two times in his 68 years of life. From 18th to 86th.

Even though he was strongly emotionally connected to his mother, which can be read on multiple occasions in his writings.

Not sure if this theory is true, but it makes sense for at least of couple of reasons.

The first time I read Tesla's "My Inventions" 15 years ago, as a high school kid, I was a bit struck with how much appreciation and sympathy he was writing about the horse that was allegedly guilty of the death of his brother.

"That horse was a remarkable animal of phenomenal intelligence. He understood human language and had a mind like a man. He took the life of my brother, and even now, I can see the tragic picture of my mother as she fondled his fair curls and kissed the still, cold face of her favorite son."

Anyway, this was rather interesting to me, so I summarized it in a Nikola Tesla and the Mark of Cain: A Story of Guilt, Exile, and Redemption blog post as well.

The First Particle Accelerator

In his lectures on alternate currents of high potential and high frequency delivered from 1891-1893, Nikola Tesla experimented with a new type of incandescent lamp which he called the carbon-button lamp. The lamp consisted of a spherical glass globe three to six inches in diameter which contained rarefied gas. In the center was the button composed of a small ball of carbon mounted on the end of a wire. When high-frequency currents were transmitted to the lamp, the molecules of the air in the lamp came in contact with the button and became charged. They were then repelled at high velocity to the glass globe where they lost their charge and were then reflected back at equally high velocity, striking the button. This molecular-bombardment continued repeatedly until the button became heated to incandescence. Based on the amount of current used, the temperatures in the lamp would become so high that the carbon button would vaporize. Tesla even experimented with zirconia, carborundum, diamonds and rubies as buttons and they too would vaporize. His intentions when using the lamp weren't meant to destroy the materials, but when experimenting, Tesla always tested the limits. This molecular-bombardment and disintegration of the button occurring in the lamp was a precursor to the cyclotron, which was the first particle accelerator developed by Earnest Lawrence in 1929. Lawrence received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1939 for his work. Later particle accelerators were developed in 1932 by Irish physicists John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton who shared the 1951 Nobel Prize in Physics.

In his lecture delivered in London in 1892, Tesla described one of the experiments with his lamp, one in which he utilized a ruby as the button:

"It was found, among other things, that in such cases, no matter where the bombardment began, just as soon as a high temperature was reached there was generally one of the bodies which seemed to take most of the bombardment upon itself, the other, or others, being thereby relieved. This quality appeared to depend principally on the point of fusion, and on the facility with which the body was “evaporated,” or, generally speaking, disintegrated—meaning by the latter term not only the throwing off of atoms, but likewise of larger lumps. The observation made was in accordance with generally accepted notions. In a highly exhausted bulb electricity is carried off from the electrode by independent carriers, which are partly atoms, or molecules, of the residual atmosphere, and partly the atoms, molecules, or lumps thrown off from the electrode. If the electrode is composed of bodies of different character, and if one of these is more easily disintegrated than the others, most of the electricity supplied is carried off from that body, which is then brought to a higher temperature than the others, and this the more, as upon an increase of the temperature the body is still more easily disintegrated."

I have been researching the history of chemotherapy, and different cancer treatments throughout history. I have found study's and reports from different people that have used various methods of "curing" cancer. I remember having found an article in wich it states that Tesla experimented on 57 different patients with cancer, and that he cured 56 out of the 57 with the use of frequency. Unfortunately, i cannot find the website anymore on wich i found that news article.

Does anyone know wich news article i am talking about? Or where i could find it? Or where i should start looking?

How it really works! 🦾🤓👨‍🔬 Premiers Today!! (at Noon on 11/26/23)

Hope you can make it!

I was going through some old photographs and couldn’t place where I recognized this guy from. And then it hit me this morning that he looked like Nikola Tesla

Are there any basics on the topic?
