00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:25,800
hi welcome to another cold fusion video. 
the human mind is truly an incredible

2
00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:31,900
thing capable speech thought critical thinking 
and imagination when we think

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,800
of a great legendary minds of this world 
we think of the brilliance of people

4
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,000
like Einstein she taught us many things about 
the low-level rules that govern

5
00:00:39,100 --> 00:00:43,900
our universe fundamental things like time 
space and matter but in terms of

6
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
practical discoveries that are the basis 
for the technologies we use each and

7
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:53,000
every day it was nikola Tesla it was the 
most brilliant of all he had a mind of

8
00:00:53,100 --> 00:00:58,000
the rarest kind he can memorize entire books 
and visualize inventions with

9
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:03,000
pinpoint accuracy once he had the concept 
of an invention fully visualized

10
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:07,000
you then undertook the hard work to bring 
it to reality in comparison most

11
00:01:07,100 --> 00:01:11,000
other scientists and engineers unwittingly 
narrow-minded in their

12
00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:14,000
thinking how is it that such a man

13
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:18,000
existing vaguely in the public consciousness 
only as a fuzzy Hayes

14
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:24,000
Justin knowledge today let's change there 
in this video you'll learn all

15
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:29,000
about Nikola Tesla and the way he changed 
the world you livin now let's

16
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:37,000
begin testing of serbian heritage was born 
in 1856 in a small village within

17
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:42,000
the Austrian Empire or modern-day croatia 
Tesla's birthday was during a

18
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:47,000
particularly violent lightning storm reading 
this as a bad omen the midwife

19
00:01:47,100 --> 00:01:52,000
said to Tesla's mother that Tesla would be 
a child of darkness test his mom

20
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:58,000
immediately replied no he will be a child 
of lies as well say late on this

21
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:03,000
statement was significant from an early age 
it was clear that Tesla was a

22
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:07,000
remarkable kid while in high school he had 
the ability to perform integral

23
00:02:07,100 --> 00:02:11,000
calculus in his head it was so unusual that 
his teachers thought he was

24
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:17,000
cheating Tesla also possessed any tetek memory 
which means he could recall

25
00:02:17,100 --> 00:02:22,000
entire books and images in great detail a 
gift which he attributed to his mother

26
00:02:22,100 --> 00:02:25,000
he allegedly used his imagination to temper 
vision

27
00:02:25,100 --> 00:02:31,000
and vivid nightmares that he had as a child 
and surprisingly Tesla finished

28
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:37,000
high school early at age 17 though Tesla 
had a brush with death after contracting

29
00:02:37,100 --> 00:02:41,000
cholera in which he played it he might leave 
if his father let him study

30
00:02:41,100 --> 00:02:45,000
engineering instead of the planned path of 
a priest or a career in the Army

31
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:51,000
Tesla's father agreed despite being bedridden 
and incredibly ill at the time

32
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:57,000
to the astonishment of his family he miraculously 
recovered keeping true to

33
00:02:57,100 --> 00:03:01,000
his agreement restless father allowed the 
teenager to study engineering at

34
00:03:01,100 --> 00:03:05,000
University and the course of history would 
be changed forever at that moment

35
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:12,000
during university in Austria at age 21 tested 
at the highest grades possible

36
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:16,000
could speak eight languages and was called 
a star student of the first rank

37
00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:18,000
by the university's Dean

38
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:23,000
claim to work from 3 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily 
and because of this professors

39
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:27,000
wrote a letter to Tesla's father stating 
that his son may be killed due to

40
00:03:27,100 --> 00:03:33,000
overwork at the end of his second year things 
to Catan test lost his

41
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:37,000
scholarship and became addicted to gambling 
and by his third test led

42
00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:41,000
gambled away his entire loud and tuition 
money he did however manage to Camelback

43
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:45,000
losses and return the balance back to his 
family but the damage to his studies

44
00:03:45,100 --> 00:03:50,000
have been done when exam time came around 
Tesla was unprepared and ask for

45
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:54,000
an extension to study but he was denied he 
never graduated from the University

46
00:03:54,100 --> 00:04:00,000
and did not receive grades 4 A's last semester

47
00:04:00,100 --> 00:04:04,000
in December of 1878 to hide the fact that 
he had dropped out of university

48
00:04:04,100 --> 00:04:09,000
Tesla cut all ties with this family it was 
so sudden that his friend had

49
00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:14,000
thought he had drowned in a river in north 
Croatia in 1880 he moved to

50
00:04:14,100 --> 00:04:20,000
Budapest and then finally to america just 
for stands in his pocket after

51
00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:22,000
Budapest and then finally to america just 
for stands in his pocket after

52
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:27,000
Tesla began his work for Thomas Edison a 
continent are listed company in 1882 he

53
00:04:27,100 --> 00:04:33,000
has a word on Edison many people today consider 
thomas edison as the father of

54
00:04:33,100 --> 00:04:38,000
the lab all but he was more along the lines 
of the Steve Jobs fly ball that is

55
00:04:38,100 --> 00:04:42,000
it hasn't figured out how to sell the lipo 
by improving on ideas of 22 other

56
00:04:42,100 --> 00:04:44,000
man before him

57
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:49,000
thomas edison went on to found general electric 
which are also a video on so if

58
00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:55,000
you wanna see that check the description 
below ok back to this story in 1885

59
00:04:55,100 --> 00:04:59,000
Tesla said that he could redesign edison's 
desi motors and generators

60
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:04,000
which were very inefficient at the time and 
had a tendency to Spock and break

61
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:09,000
down he doesn't like the idea and offered 
Tesla 1 million USD dollars in

62
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,000
today's currency for the job

63
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:15,000
got to work and did as he was promised fixing 
all the problems with the motors

64
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:20,000
linear motors and generators are now simply 
didn't Spock and we're much more

65
00:05:20,100 --> 00:05:25,000
reliable in fact Tesla design was so good 
that is still used today for the

66
00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:29,000
motors that power anything from household 
appliances to water pumps

67
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:34,000
power tools disk drives and haptic feedback 
systems and of course the Tesla

68
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:39,000
electric car when Tesla had completed his 
job and ask for the money it is

69
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:46,000
unlocked and stated mr. test line we do not 
understand our American humor Tesla

70
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:50,000
had just been ripped off big time and left 
Edison's company he'd had enough

71
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:54,000
meanwhile at this time something monumental 
was happening

72
00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:58,000
the electrical revolution was just about 
to take place

73
00:05:58,100 --> 00:06:02,000
electricity Muslim next big thing to change 
the entire planet it created an

74
00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:07,000
investment data bubble much greater than 
the favor that was the dot-com bubble of

75
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:11,000
the nineteen nineties billion dollar industries 
arose out of nowhere and the

76
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:15,000
American economy was lifted into an enhanced 
growth period that would last

77
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:20,000
for decades this was due to sudden quantum 
leaps in manufacturing household

78
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:26,000
technology and general efficiency of work 
work and life was simply easier we

79
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:30,000
simply just can't comprehend this change 
today why you might be asking because

80
00:06:30,100 --> 00:06:35,000
everyone alive today is born with electricity 
the sheer magnitude of

81
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:39,000
technological change that resulted from household 
electricity was truly

82
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:45,000
astonishing so after being cheated by Edison 
Tesla decided to put his energy

83
00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:49,000
into joining the electric revolution in the 
form of the research of alternating

84
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:56,000
current AC was a financial backers to support 
his vision of an AC powered

85
00:06:56,100 --> 00:07:01,000
world Tesla took up a job of digging ditches 
for $2 a day off $50 in today's

86
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:07,000
currency to make ends meet he described this 
period as very painful tested

87
00:07:07,100 --> 00:07:11,000
venturi struck up a partnership with westinghouse 
this would put him in

88
00:07:11,100 --> 00:07:16,000
direct competition with Edison and his direct 
current HVDC system backed by

89
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:21,000
General Electric edison's desi system created 
dangerous box couldn't transmit

90
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:23,000
electricity very far

91
00:07:23,100 --> 00:07:28,000
require power plant every few Columbus with 
cables as thick as you are in other

92
00:07:28,100 --> 00:07:32,000
words it was pretty terribly ceded power 
every home on this planet

93
00:07:32,100 --> 00:07:39,000
a/c system on the other hand used to transmit 
electricity over long distances

94
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:44,000
the fight was on and the prize for the winner 
was the privilege of lighting up

95
00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:47,000
the entire world by 1893

96
00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:52,000
been many shady business deals stolen ideas 
and patents depression medicine

97
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:55,000
and his money interests over Tesla's inventions

98
00:07:55,100 --> 00:08:00,000
feud had reached boiling point and with this 
the war of occurrence had reached

99
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:10,000
at deep down it is the new that his system 
of here to test but of course he

100
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:14,000
didn't want the public's analyst he needed 
a way to make the public despite

101
00:08:14,100 --> 00:08:21,000
AC and accept Dec but how families living 
the Edison's laboratory began to

102
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:26,000
notice something a little strange their pets 
suddenly began to disappear these

103
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:31,000
mysterious disappearances the work of aliens 
but a group of schoolboys pay

104
00:08:31,100 --> 00:08:37,000
$0.25 each animal that they stole this was 
edison solution once edison gather

105
00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:42,000
the cats dogs and other animals from the 
school boys he publicly electrocuted

106
00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:47,000
them using Tesla's AC current to prove that 
it was dangerous too dangerous to

107
00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:51,000
be used in any home in addition to this it 
is aided in the creation of the

108
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:57,000
electric chair making sure that I used AC 
current tester responded to all of

109
00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:01,000
this by demonstrating that AC was perfectly 
say bye famously shooting

110
00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:06,000
electric current through his own body to 
produce light at the 1893 World's Fair

111
00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:13,000
this was check made to Edison and a symbolic 
turning point as the years went

112
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:17,000
on a see increased in popularity and became 
the standard due to its technical

113
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:21,000
advantages as a result of his inventions

114
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:25,000
test low shot into the stratosphere of started 
rubbing shoulders with the most

115
00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:29,000
important people of the day he was universally 
loved by citizens because he

116
00:09:29,100 --> 00:09:34,000
helped make their lives easier from arriving 
with just four cents in his

117
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:38,000
pocket to now have an unprecedented fame 
things have certainly changed for test

118
00:09:38,100 --> 00:09:41,000
line and is brilliant and hard work has paid 
off

119
00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:46,000
meanwhile edison became more and more despised 
by others within general

120
00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:50,000
electric and eventually lost control of the 
company after a series of messages

121
00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:57,000
with all that being said to give credit he 
did invent a phonograph and motion

122
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:03,000
picture camera so he also has contributed 
greatly to society during

123
00:10:03,100 --> 00:10:08,000
the War of the current tests designed AC 
motors generators transformers and power

124
00:10:08,100 --> 00:10:13,000
transmission technologies resulting in 25 
of the most valuable patents since

125
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:18,000
the invention of the telephone he's designed 
was so good that we still use

126
00:10:18,100 --> 00:10:23,000
them today in all the systems that power 
our homes a fact which we take for

127
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:29,000
granted this in itself was an incredible 
achievement by Tesla but he was just

128
00:10:29,100 --> 00:10:33,000
getting started over the next few years

129
00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:37,000
hadn't found a few foundational technologies 
that drove the 20th century

130
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:41,900
