The Odd Life of Nikola Tesla 

edison backstabbing tesla is the worst anime betrayal ever

I've always believed that near the end of his life he was a genius trapped in the mind of a madman. He had the mental capacity to do anything he wanted, but he went crazy and died in obscurity.

Famously the inventor of the tesla cannon

what do you call a stolen Tesla an Edison

*Tesla's Bizarre Adventures*

The American kazoo cracked me up.

I think it might have been important to mention he invented the binary system both for use with his remote control boat and to be able to turn on and off appliances within a coil.

well he invented a trap in clash of clans

Tyler's getting a lot better! He's still not as good as Cody, but Cody has years of practice. The video itself looks great, too. Bringing in Tyler as a narrator has proven a great decision. Looking forward to future essays!

Fire destroyed Tessa's laboratory destroying his work and inventions .I don't think this was a coincidence

Is that why the band was called AC DC with a electric sign in between?

_"Hey son if you don't die you can do the science thing."_

Fine line between Genius and Madness. Especially when he was known to have obsessive compulsive disorder. He may have even been autistic (Asperger's Syndrome) before it was known. Tesla may or may not have been as smart as history claimed but he did inspire innovation and ideas that others benefited from. He was the catalyst to great inventions if not the actual creator of those inventions.

at the Noble prize award ceremony : -Mr. Thomas Edison we're gonna use your invention to enlighten the world . and for you Mr. Tesla we're gonna use your invention in the backround of Frenkenshtein movies .

His vision of electricity being wireless and being able to tap into the energy of the world could make a really cool story based around sci-fi of their time.

5:20 lol "actual footage"

Tesla was right all the way up till the point to where he questioned the wrong man, Einstein. But no matter the case, Tesla should've rose to the top

*sigh* I used to find tesla interesting, and we studied his work extensively in school. But this new found attachment crackpots have to him has really soured me on the topic. It has become an almost religious thing, with people legitimizing any number of fridge ideas by trying to assign it to tesla. Which is a pity since he did really great stuff, but his actual accomplishments have been utterly swamped by the mythology that has popped up around him. There is also the irony in people trying to focus on his legacy have shifted so many other even less well known inventors and scientists to him. It is almost like we can only acknowledge 1 person per domain per century or something. Even before his new found attention he was one of the most famous inventors of his period.

What if the Norman conquest of England failed?

I was starting to miss your videos Cody! And cheers to Tyler he's doing a great job!

Tesla always confuses me I can't pin down how influential he actually was

Serbia: He was a Serbian! Croatia: But he was born in Croatia! Serbia: But he was a Serbian! Croatia: But he was born in Croatia!

The one youtuber not involved in drama lol

Thank god this wasn't just another Tesla circle jerk. Love your videos

essentially tesla was a mad scientist of his time

Greatest virgin in the history of mankind

Okay Cody, getting your brother Tyler to work on videos on the channel was a fantastic idea.

Loving Tyler's vids

You need to do an alternate history video based on the book Ruled Britannia, however don't do it to soon I'm still reading it ;)

You should do a video on the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the subsequent political fallout (pun intended) that happened, and the effect on today's politics and mindsets.

I love how you used cyberpunkish music to depict how the 19th century saw electricity. It made me smile.

tanks for the video

All in all pretty good,just if you mentioned more of his "crazy" milytaristic inventions that never came to be example:A machine that would have been able to diseble enemie aircraft using electrisity or something like that not sure heard about it a while ago...

Can you do a video on Josip Broz Tito? Really like your videos btw

Nice video 😎

I'm glad I knew alot of this history. Even happier to have filled in some gaps I didn't know about

I like the old style better

"Magic isn't real." Me: "Then how do you explain electronic devices?" "Well, you see, the way they work is -" Me: "Nah, man; das magic."

How did you get a hold of that footage at 5:16?

That beautiful kazoo rendition of the Star Spangled Banner damn near brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you. I recommend "Tesla: Inventor of the electrical age" by W. Bernard Carlson, an honest biography for anyone wanting more details without any contamination by the free energy peoples.

From what I heard, from historical documentaries and Wikipedia mind you, Thomas offered Nikola $50,000 (which would be $1,200,000 today) if he could improve the system. Nikola succeeded, but Thomas said he didn't understand American humor, so he angrily left. At least, I think that's how it happened. Also, it wasn't an earthquake machine, it was an oscillator for steam powered generators. And it wasn't a death ray, it was more of a heat beam, I think.

Keep coming back to this video, don’t know why

Where's that part 3 of the CSA series? You originally said it was going to be the first week of July

(Insert *ELECTRIC* pun here) To be fair, that joke was rather *SHOCKING* I'm sorry

Glad that you mentioned Marconi! He really changed the world as we know it with his works!

When will you upload on the alternate history channel

I like these animations.

ACDC

Im not very knowledgeable on this, but it sounds like he was wrong about everything except ac.

WE WANT PART 3!

Tyler is beggining to grow on me. But cody still is knowlege hub to me! 😜 good topic.

6:38 Hey that's just like in rdr2

TESLA IS SERBIAN!!! WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK HE IS CROATIAN?!

I hated school but love these channels and videos. keep it up! love the content.

Cody where is part 3 you said next week that was a month ago

Is it just me or does that weapon he theorized kind of sounds like a Rail gun?

Scotty Sire's tesla will probably have a more *SCHOKING* life than anything

5:20 that's the best ACTUAL FOOTAGE I've *directly* seen...

Just to point out something around the seven minute mark. Marconi transmitted data from Newfoundland NOT Nova Scotia. Just a common misconception.

This comment section are people debating whether he is a Serb or a Croat. It's like a new Bosnian Genocide

I think it's sad. He was obviously a brilliant mind, he would have done very great things if it weren't for the fire. The fire might have affected him badly. It's after it happened that his life went down hill. He became crazier and his ideas became outlandish. He might even develop a mental problem as he aged. I'm just saying, it's obvious that he was traumatised.

Actual footage!

This script was incredibly well written.

who the hell is tyler, i want cody

Tesla was a Serb

I did not know that the giant Telsa Tower couldn't have actually work. I was wondering why such a device was never an alternate history wonder of the world that could have been built in Civilization.

I just can't comprehend that there are no flame wars in this comment section

This is the true story Nikola Tesla, without dramas. Nowadays, Kids are worshipping Tesla for building that childish sci-fi Tesla coil and they like to imitate his bizarre personality. If you're really into science he was just a ordinary eccentric man, nothing more. Not the greatest mind in history or man with the highest iq (there's no official iq test for him) as most kids say. I respect him for what he did with his 84 years of his life on Earth, but I also dammed shame on him for so many stupid guessworks he made, that most of which were scams. He was just randomly handpicking the ideas that pop-up to in his head, and he also mocked the most important modern scientist, Albert Einstein and his works which are observable truth. First time I read about Nikola Tesla, i was about to like in his works and his oddness. But Tesla's fans...😥, those ignorant Tesla's fans are so annoying!

🎶🎵I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to say that Tesla was Serbian🎶🎵

Who else thought the electric spark at 0:52 was a erratically dancing headless stickman

What happened to part 3 of the series with EmperorTigerstar?

HECK YEAH! NIKOLA TESLA! I'm hype because i did a presentation on him back in 5th grade lol

yaay weird guy!

How did you obtain actual footage?

I've recently found out about a guy named Micheal Faraday and I'm quite sure that he was one of the people who created transformers and such, please point out who would actually be if I'm wrong.

You forgot to mention that he fell in love with the pigeon and that he (tried?) to shock the children as well thinking that it would make them good at maths :D

according to tesla and his fans: tesla invented everything and everyone is just a thief 😂😂😂

the laser thing actually worked though, they accidentally misfired it a few years ago while moving it

Yeah that's cool, but where's part 3

*TESLA* * A GREAT LIFE*

damn, he had good skin though.

whens the rest of the southern victory lore gonna come out

seriously over simplified , but i like the effort ...

"he believed that marconi was using his patents, although he was using them for very different purposes." completely unbiased.

Nikola Tesla was a Serb, his father was an ORTHODOX priest, and he even mentioned that he was a Serb a few times. He might've been born in Croatia, but his ethnicity is clearly Serbian.

Well, being impartial and unbiased, one must take your point of view/ narrative into the mix in trying to understand Tesla's mind and his unquestionable beyond-normal capabilities and his real degree/level of geniuses....

there are also two OTHER types of electrical currents, but AC and DC are the main two we use.

Hi how are ya?

ONE OF GREATEST SERBS IN HISTORY

If Nikola Tesla Would have succeeded in creating wireless energy we all would have been dead

Cite your sources, please. I'd like to read them.

I Like His ,,Earthqueake Maschine"

>father was priest >said he was intelligent thanks to mothers genes S A V A G E

Kind of sad that usually school dosen't really mentioned Nikola Tesla

Cody when you said ac i thought you meant air conditioning

Dang it I am gay

make a video explaining the 7 seas like the origin of the term

and how do you send "information"? ...

At long last, finally a simple and factual video on the man.The mythology surrounding Tesla seems to be growing daily. Most discussions lead me to believe that there is a new religion growing with him as the Messiah. It seems to go something like this. Once upon a time a man was born with an intellect so great that no other living person has ever come close to him. He performed many miracles and was totally altruistic. A cabal of devils by the names of Edison, Westinghouse, and Morgan, in league with an evil government, sought to exploit his inventions, suppressing those which would have liberated us, and ensuring that he died virtually unrecognised and in poverty. Only a filthy version of his perfect inventions, which allowed the evil capitalists the greatest wealth and power, was ever allowed to be made. If only we had worshipped him in his lifetime, we would now be living on light itself (I shit you not). Amongst his miracles we may list The miracle of radio, far in advance and more powerful than anything Marconi applied. The miracle of wireless transmission, which had to be suppressed as this would not allow the evil capitalists to charge. The miracle of the death ray, which governments were too stupid to recognise. And finally, The miracle of free energy, which would allow every human being access to unlimited power in spite of the laws of thermodynamics. I think I want to spew.
