小編導(dǎo)語(yǔ)：該視頻主要講述了有關(guān)尼古拉·特斯拉的內(nèi)容。尼古拉·特斯拉是世界知名的發(fā)明家、物理學(xué)家、機(jī)械工程師和電機(jī)工程師。特斯拉被認(rèn)為是歷史上一位重要的發(fā)明家。他在19世紀(jì)末和20世紀(jì)初對(duì)電和磁性做出了杰出貢獻(xiàn)。他的專利和理論工作形式依據(jù)現(xiàn)代交變電流電力(AC)的系統(tǒng)，包括多相電力分配系統(tǒng)和AC馬達(dá)，幫助了他帶起第二次工業(yè)革命。

...which resulted in two very mad cats and a scratched up Tesla.

On June 6th, 1884, Tesla arrived in the United States.

1884年6月6日，特斯拉來(lái)到美國(guó)。

He was hired by Thomas Edison to do basic electrical engineering,...

他受雇于托馬斯·愛(ài)迪生進(jìn)行基本的電氣工程。

..but moved up to redesigning the direct current generators that ran Edison's business.

但升職后重新設(shè)計(jì)直流發(fā)電機(jī)，經(jīng)營(yíng)愛(ài)迪生的業(yè)務(wù)。

Tesla eventually left Edison's company and partnered with George Westinghouse in 1888...

特斯拉后來(lái)離開(kāi)了愛(ài)迪生的公司, 在1888年與喬治•威斯汀豪斯進(jìn)行合作…

...to commercialize his system of alternating current.

The problem here is that alternating current competed with direct current,...

...which Thomas Edison built his entire monopoly on.

Thus began the War of the Currents.

Tesla's influence spreads much further than electricity.

He had over 700 patents and came up with ideas...

...such as robots, spark plugs, the electric arc lamp,...

...an X-ray device, bladeless turbines,...

...wireless communication, laser technology, neon lights,...

...remote controls, cellular communication, the radio,...

...an electrical bath to remove germs, radar, and much more.

Despite his fame and influence on the world,...

...he died with significant debts and all alone.

While Edison is known as the inventor of the century,...

...Tesla is only acknowledged as a paragraph in today's history books:...

..forgotten and unappreciated.

Thus ends the story of Nikola Tesla, genius and inventor.
