Thomas Edison Did Everything He Could To Stop Nikola Tesla Succeeding | Tesla's Death Ray 

School : *Edison was genius* After growing up : *Tesla was the real genius*

Nikola Tesla also turned down the Nobel prize & had plans to provide free electricity to all.

I hate my school district. They don’t teach us about Tesla. They say that “Thomas Alva Edison is the best” Tesla was the best in my opinion

*Dear Tesla,* *We are sorry* *Sincerely,* *All of humanity*

" I don't care that they stole my idea, I care that they don't have any of their own." -Nikola Tesla

Tesla should replace Edison in history books

This changed my view about Eddison completely and I'm worried about all the other stuff I have learned in school

Edison isn't an inventor, he's just a "guy" who made variants of things that have already been invented and just pattoned them for himself.

Edison didn't steal from Tesla; he stole him from mankind.

If you are driving a Telsla and it gets stolen, is it now called an "Edison"?

Let's just be honest we could literally be with flying cars rn if Thomas Edison never existed...

I had never heard of Tesla in my schooling years; all I knew was Edison being the Jesus to Humanity.

All Tesla wanted was for everyone to have access to free electricity

Tesla had almost 700 patents to his credit like the radar,the radio and many others..... He deserves to be remembered in history as one of the most brilliant scientists the world has ever seen....

Man, I always had massive respect for Tesla. He was so far ahead of his time!!!

*What is taught in school vs what actually is. Tesla had 700 patents, but some people just stole them, claiming as their and this is how they got famous but we couldn't see behind the scenes that Tesla is the inventor of these! We will forever remember Nikola Tesla. He is one of the iconic men in history!*

"I dont mind if they take my ideas But i mind because they dont have their own" - Tesla

Its ridiculous how here in the usa, they never tought us about Tesla. I didnt know who he was untill my electrical engineering in college. But they sure shoved edison down our throats since elementary school.

Let's take a moment and appreciate George Westinghouse for believing in tesla👏👏👏

Huge respect for the legend Nikola tesla ⚡❤️🙏.

If you love tesla.. like here.. !! God of electricity..!!

So happy Tesla is now getting the recognition he always deserved.

We had a whole chapter on Thomas Edison back in primary school and i was so amazed by him.....Now I wish I would've known more about Nicola Tesla:⁠-⁠\

Never trust a business which is run by "self-proclaimed" genius.

The most underrated genius ever

Tesla was a pure genius....😊

It's like the real life story of "It's a Wonderful Life". Potter owned the town, but George Bailey was everyone's hero and beloved.

You know you’re a badass when Batman narrates your life

Tesla wanted a solution, edison wanted money.

You know this type of sabotage still occurs today.😒

I literally can't get through a video on Tesla without feeling the pain and rage of injustice for Tesla. Uncredited to this day for so many inventions. We never heard his name once at school.

Thank you for narrating this Batman

I used to shrug my teacher when he said Edison was an asshole. Well, old man was right all along.

All schools named Edison should be changed to Tesla !!

Tesla really was a Futuristic. He worked his entire life for future.

Tesla needs to be mentioned MUCH more in history books

It's sad that hardly any schools don't talk about him very much😔

I love when guys like Tesla get brought to light.

if we are agree with the point that tesla is underrated genius, it means he is no more underrated, truth always prevail

Is Tesla had the same wealth as Edison he would have advanced the world by a whole century.

I don't like what Edison did. I knew for years that Tesla was the real genius, and Edison (with other "inventors" like Marconi) was just a good businessman.

Reporter: How does it feel to be the Smartest Man in the World? Albert Einstein: I don’t know, ask Tesla.

My former teachers would make us do the biography of Thomas Edison. It was the same thing until 7th grade, where my reading teacher made us write about any scientist, but she banned us from writing about Edison. She said we could write about Tesla instead. I think about her a lot

I wish was alive to witness Tesla’s invention light up the world for the first time. Must’ve been magical!!

There is something about tesla which makes him seem like a humble person with a good heart

... Amaricans still have Edison in history books? Why? Tesla was the smartest man ever! 🇷🇸

A century later the algorithm is finally starting to come around in Tesla's favor!!!

Edison - invent bulb Tesla wait - take my infinite electricity

Tesla brilliant genius, Edison liar, crook and animal killer

Growing up being taught one thing, getting old and learning the truth. Makes me question everything I've been taught in U.S. history

Thanks to both ❤️💜

What they teach you at school vs what it's actually is.

Edison was the crook, Tesla was the hero that wanted to help humanity.

This guy Tesla died without even receiving a single penny because of his inventions. Bare that in your mind peeps.

You can see that something's wrong in Edison eyes at the first two pictures,something vile...

I work with electric stuff and I still think the transformers step up and down are really cool how you can send these thousands of volts and step it down so it’s safe for homes and stores

I only knew about Edison, EInstein, Leonardo da Vinci but I never knew about Telsa I did know his name after knowing who he is it is kinda sad how this man didn't get his rightful place in the history books

Edison did not invent the light bulb. Seriously, look it up.

Absolutely Amazing

I love the fact that Elon Musk named a company after him

Edison is a best example of greedy people.

Einstein was once asked: "How does it feel to be the most intelligent man in the world?". To this, Einstein replied: "I don't know, you would have to ask Nikola Tesla".

Edison: A train named after him Tesla: A fucking company named after him

In spite of all his achievements, Tesla died penniless and Edison died a millionaire and even his last breath was preserved. But at the end Tesla won hearts and Edison's light bulb only gives light to how dark he really was

Fire trucks are really water trucks

There should be an award named Tesla ,,,,, just like nobel prize

Very fascinating

school: thomas edison light bulb and we will not say anything about nikola tesla

Edison was a thief not an inventor.

Edison is like that one kid in class that yells out the other kids joke so that people can laugh and think it was his original joke.

Nice video

Good video

Tesla was from another world. Literally!

This is why Elon Musk named his car after him, well deserved recognition 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Is there a full length documentary based on this clip or was it just for RU-vid?

Give light and life that is what matters. Share lights and love so everyone not going to sit in the dark!

Edison had an army of engineers working and inventing things for him (including Tesla), no wonder Edison patented thousands of inventions under his name. Truth be told, the only reason that Edison is more popular than Tesla is because Edison is an American so naturally he is more celebrated by the media at that time and Tesla has always been overlooked and just a footprint in the pages of history. I remember a few years back when the whole world commemorated Edison's death anniversary by turning off the light for a minute, got me thinking, how about Tesla?? Edison should be the footprint in the pages of history and Tesla should be the one being celebrated. Sure, I recognized Edison's contribution to mankind, but hey, he didn't invent all those things all by himself, he had an army of engineers working for him 🙄

I'll admit I never thought much of science when I was younger. But after learning about people like Tesla and Marie Curie. I have a new love for science

" War of Current" woow gives a goosebumps, I wish u see a best movie or series on this tittle, Tesla - this person just played with currents

"When I was young, my father gave me interesting assignments. For example, to guess other people's thoughts, to discover the shortcomings of a form or expression, to repeat long sentences, to count directly from the head. I soon discovered that my best comfort was attained if I simply went on in my vision further and further, getting new impressions all the time and so I began to travel; of course, in my mind. Every night (and sometimes during the day), when alone, I would start on my journeys - see new places, cities and countries; live there, meet people and make friendships and acquaintances… This I did constantly until I was about seventeen, when my thoughts turned seriously to invention. Then I observed to my delight that I could visualize with the greatest facility. I need no models, drawings or experiments. I could picture them all as real in my mind… I do not rush into actual work. When I get an idea, I start at once building it up in my imagination. I change the construction, make improvements and operate the device in my mind. It is absolutely immaterial to me whether I run my turbine in thought or test it in my shop.” The greatest mind to ever walk the planet

If only schools taught students with interesting stories like this

One of the biggest geniuses in humanity s history. Father of the modern era. All he technology that we marvel about is based on Teslas fundamentals.

My favourite scientist 🇷🇸🇺🇸 respect from montenegro

Dang, school house rock “mother necessity” really do be slipping

I cant believe everyone is on team Edison in my whole class expect for me like if your on team Tesla I \/

A proud Serbian and amazing humble human for humankind. We thank you Nikola..

Edison is underrated and hated because of the competition with Tesla, but Edison is also great

The man who create a small lightbulb tried to defeat the man who create a goddamn death ray

Most intelligent man ever to exist

If Tesla magically became alive right now we will jump forward in time

The Serb Nikola Tesla is a gift for the mankind. God bless him. Thank you for good video.

Tesla change the world. What a great, talented guy.

My teacher asked us to write our idol on someone’s back and that person would have to go around the room asking people what the name is on their back. Well I wrote Tesla on a classmates’ back and I KNEW it was coming. A minute later people were yelling “that’s a car, what the heck! Isn’t that a car, who’s stupid enough to write a car name?”. Ah........ I may not be near Tesla’s intelligence but their Direct Current Brains need some extra power. Perhaps some Alternating Current could do the trick.

Edison was the biggest crook, that ever existed,,

Ok I just want to note the fact that Kevin Conroy is the narrator for this documentary!

Both are genius In every household today ,appliances are powered by dc source i.e Led bulbs Electronic appliances Dc inverter fans , refrigerators , air conditioners etc

We need to stop glorifying Thomas Edison in school notebooks and mass media!

We always remember you NIKOLA TESLA salute!😁

Weird and Extremely Odd that NOBODY made a real voice recording of Nikola Tesla speaking in public ... as he is interviewed so many times and gave multiple public lectures! AND him being the real farther of radio! ... I can tell/sense so much when some one speaks, it is a gift I have and I desperately want to hear his voice! . I hope someone that was close to him has family-lines who are alive and MAY have an audio recording of him. cheers, John Kuhles (The Netherlands).

Why does the guy at 7:06 looks exactly like Phil Coulson in Agent Of Shield
