The problem is that the actual inventor of a device to see the bones of a human was a German scientist named Wilhelm Rontgen. He took an x-ray of his wife’s hand several years prior to Edison’s fluoroscope. If people confused this mistaken time gap, Edison was more than happy not to correct the error and essentially padded his bank account at Rontgen’s expense.
@@richardlighthouse5328 after Tesla died he left all of his documents with his inventions writen on them in his hotel room. FBI said that there was 250 documents in his room, CIA says that there wasn't any documents, while in Nikola Tesla museum in Serbia there is couple thousands of documents that the last living Tesla's relative gave to Yugoslav's government after he got possession of almost all of Tesla's documets that USA government gave him (keep in mind they probably didn't return half of them), in these documents there were plans for some kind of of a machine called "death ray" it was believed that during ww2 USA government asked Tesla to make a weapon similar to atom bomb. But there is very little to no evidence of this and he probably died before ever creating it. He was the most intelligent person to ever live so far.
Not many people ever in history that can say that and people agreeing. Cool that all of them are scientists with an understanding of the world we normal people can’t even imagine
@Panda Bear667 Thomas Edison was a con man, alot of the parents he had, he stole. And I'm pretty sure some of them were based on Tesla's ideas. I could be wrong tho
In middle school we were assigned a project about famous inventors from the 19th-20th century and ended up with Nikola Tesla as my choice and I remember being so blown away by what I found, and even 9 years later I still find interesting stories about him from time to time, he was way too ahead of his time
1:06 This is referencing the time when Tesla worked for Edison, and Edison told Tesla if he could make improvements on the generator, Edison would give Tesla 50k(= 1 million today) as a reward. So Tesla worked on it for about a year and literally redesigned the generator to make it much better. After it is done, Tesla went to Edison for the 50k, Edison told Tesla he was just joking.
@Jakov Jerkovic Man, just tell me who the fuk to be thankful for. What's the name of the person who was responsible for electricity?!? Thomas Jefferson, Galileo Ferraris, or Nikola????
The 100th Rusty Shackleford Edison was stealing all his ideas and publishing them, leaving Tesla without money to continue funding his research. Also, Edison was dead-set in proving that Tesla was wrong(hence electrocuting the elephant)

People give Tesla far too much credit. The man was smart, but science is built on the shoulders of giants. Tesla, like many other scientists (Including Edison) made fair incremental additions to their respective fields (Though Edison made far more.) and were he alive now instead of then, assuming someone else made the same discoveries in alternating currents, he'd be probably not bringing us all that far ahead.
There is no definitive answer for hypothetical what-ifs on history, so asking that question is essentially pointless. However, odds are there would be. And in Tesla's case, we know there were. Tesla was not the only scientist exploring alternating currents. He's just more notable because he stirred up alot of drama and everybody loves an underdog story, even if it really wasn't that much of an underdog story as much as a story of a man with promise who went crazy.
Magilliam Harrison Firstly i know there were more people who did such things. That was my point. But you seem not to read the whole question. What i said is that were there many?

That last line "they would curse the Con Edison with every utility" is almost Shakespearean in it's use of words. Con Edison can mean "Edison the con", calling Edison a con-man. But Con Edison also refers to Edison's electrical company, which sold electricity. The use of utility is also interesting, as it can mean "they curse him every time they receive an electrical bill" but also "they curse him with every tool at their disposal". Bravo.
Tesla wanted to make a 80ft tall wireless electric power tower that would make electricity free of charge. Sadly, Thomas Edison and banker J.P.Morgan teamed up and tore it down before it could be completed .(Source:Wikipedia).
prove at least one of my comments false.. Go ahead I challenge you.. If you think I'm trolling then go ahead.. I speak the truth backed by evidence. Lets see you debunk it.
Ramble: 2.talk or write at length in a confused or inconsequential way. Not show. Just read everything you've linked and especially your last link which seems to go beyond stupidity. But as always I'll start from the top. The fluoroscope - a device for producing X-ray images - is something Tesla had been working on prior to Edison’s pig-headed dabbling. In the process, Edison managed to give his assistant terminal cancer (who had to have his arms removed before he ultimately died), and he almost blinded himself. But he sure got that patent all right. - *Tesla made some scrappy images and mailed them to roentgen, he didn't make a fluoroscope. Secondly Edison didn't hold his assistant to work on x-rays, his assistant demanded to work on them with him. Oh for your information Edison kept him on the payroll after his death.* 6-Edison backed out of paying Tesla $50,000 to fix his DC motor - which Tesla did with great ease. He managed to turn an inefficient device into something incredibly efficient that saved Edison all sorts of money (well more than he agreed to pay Tesla). All he said was that Tesla failed to “understand the American sense of humor” (Tesla was a Serbian immigrant). More like he failed to realize how much of a stingy two-timer Edison was. Edison offered to up his pay from $18 a week to all of $25. Tesla, not a moment too soon (but far too many too late), resigned. Thereafter he wound up digging ditches, before starting his own company and accepting investments to do some experiments in his own right. -*to fix? I think the article means to improve. With great ease? Almost two years. It hardly was a breakthrough.. Not only that In history itself it has been noted that only Tesla has stated this so(without proof) rendering it a myth* If Edison hadn’t deemed one of Tesla’s most crucial radio wave-based innovations to be “impractical” back during World War I- when he first proposed plans for such-countless lives could have been saved for having the advantage of being able to detect enemy submarines. Of course it would be actualized until decades later. But just to think of what damage Edison’s ego-driven meddling has cost time and again is infuriating. - *teslas idea of the radar was way off of what the radar is. In this case, Edison actually saved the u.s armys money.* .en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla 3- Although the current of success swept into a place of high regard, he forewent obscene wealth so as to-in a show of unprecedented humility-save the Westinghouse Company (which would have gone broke with the royalty payments). Instead, Tesla made a few grand by just selling his patents outright. - *Tesla and his friends made over $200k in royalty.. Not only that few grand? Tesla sold the patent to Westinghouse for $216k...*(Source same as last Para) 2- Edison was known for his intimidation tactics (e.g. he used to hire a bunch of goons to smash technology and make sure he got his dues for his patents), but never did it get so bad as with his campaign against Tesla; he went so far as to invent the electric chair, using Tesla’s AC power to have a man on death row execute. The event was gruesome and messy, drawn out. George Westinghouse was quoted to have said, “They would have done better using an axe.” And so the first execution by electric chair took place, just to prove Tesla wrong (and preserve Edison’s financial stakes. - *edison didn't kill a man lol.. He had already allowed the u.s. Government to use the patent who executed a man, not Edison.* You'll note that I've not debated everything the website has to offer. Because the remainder is just opinions(except the ac-dc war bit). You're second link is the easiest to serve up.. It even conflicts your first link stating months of work. And again conflicts by stating how edison didn't have $50k while your first link states how it made edison rich.. 3rd link then uh? 1. Alternating Current : *Tesla played a major role in AC but he was not the first to discover it*. Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current 2:2. Light - Of course he didn’t invent light itself, but he did invent how light can be harnessed and distributed. Tesla developed and used florescent bulbs in his lab some 40 years before industry “invented” them. *Umm what? Tesla never developed a fluorescent light bulb.. He made what we know as induction lamp(he was not the first btw). 40 years before industry? "The first commercial installation was done in 1904 in a hardware store in Newark, New Jersey.[5]" We are talking about Daniel McFarlan Moore's fluorescent light bulb btw. So by your articles saying Tesla had a lab and had lights in them by 1864? Hmm intriguing* www.edisontechcenter.org/Fluorescent.html en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_McFarlan_Moore 3: . X-rays - Electromagnetic and ionizing radiation was heavily researched in the late 1800s, but Tesla researched the entire gamut. Everything from a precursor to Kirlian photography, which has the ability to document life force, to what we now use in medical diagnostics, this was a transformative invention of which Tesla played a central role.- "Tesla noted the hazards of working with his circuit and single-node X-ray-producing devices. In his many notes on the early investigation of this phenomenon, he attributed the skin damage to various causes. He believed early on that damage to the skin was not caused by the Roentgen rays, but by the ozone generated in contact with the skin, and to a lesser extent, by nitrous acid. Tesla incorrectly believed that X-rays were longitudinal waves, such as those produced in waves in plasma. These plasma waves can occur in force-free magnetic fields.[80][81]" - *Just wiki history of X-rays for source.. Any source will tell you that long before Tesla x-rays were researched even Tesla used a crooke's tube.. And the majority of development was done by roentgen not by Tesla.. And of course we do have Edison and the fluoroscope(credited by your first link itself).* 4: . Radio - Guglielmo Marconi was initially credited, and most believe him to be the inventor of radio to this day. However, the Supreme Court overturned Marconi’s patent in 1943, when it was proven that Tesla invented the radio years previous to Marconi. Radio signals are just another frequency that needs a transmitter and receiver, which Tesla also demonstrated in 1893 during a presentation before The National Electric Light Association. In 1897 Tesla applied for two patents US 645576, and US 649621. In 1904, however, The U.S. Patent Office reversed its decision, awarding Marconi a patent for the invention of radio, possibly influenced by Marconi’s financial backers in the States, who included Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie. This also allowed the U.S. government (among others) to avoid having to pay the royalties that were being claimed by Tesla.-*"In 1900, Tesla was granted patents for a "system of transmitting electrical energy" and "an electrical transmitter." When Guglielmo Marconi made his famous first-ever transatlantic radio transmission in 1901, Tesla quipped that it was done with 17 Tesla patents. This was the beginning of years of patent battles over radio with Tesla's patents being upheld in 1903, followed by a reverse decision in favor of Marconi in 1904. In 1943, a Supreme Court of the United States decision restored the prior patents of Tesla, Oliver Lodge, and John Stone.[90] The court declared that their decision had no bearing on Marconi's claim as the first to achieve radio transmission, just that since Marconi's claim to certain patents were questionable, he could not claim infringement on those same patents[91]" - 17 patents didn't make the radio lol.. Also teslas RC boat was demonstrated in 1898 while Marconi was selling the radio by 1896.* en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio 5. Remote Control - This invention was a natural outcropping of radio. Patent No.613809 was the first remote controlled model boat, demonstrated in 1898. *Well they got at least one right lol* 6.Electric Motor - Tesla’s invention of the electric motor has finally been popularized by a carbrandishing his name. While the technical specifications are beyond the scope of this summary, suffice to say that Tesla’s invention of a motor with rotating magnetic fields could have freed mankind much sooner from the stranglehold of Big Oil. However, his invention in 1930 succumbed to the economic crisis and the world war that followed. Nevertheless, this invention has fundamentally changed the landscape of what we now take for granted: industrial fans, household applicances, water pumps, machine tools, power tools, disk drives, electric wristwatches and compressors. - *Wont even bother as my source clarifies everything*en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor 7. Robotics - Tesla’s overly enhanced scientific mind led him to the idea that all living beings are merely driven by external impulses. He stated: “I have by every thought and act of mine, demonstrated, and does so daily, to my absolute satisfaction that I am an automaton endowed with power of movement, which merely responds to external stimuli.” Thus, the concept of the robot was born. However, an element of the human remained present, as Tesla asserted that these human replicas should have limitations - namely growth and propagation. Nevertheless, Tesla unabashedly embraced all of what intelligence could produce. His visions for a future filled with intelligent cars, robotic human companions, and the use of sensors, and autonomous systems are detailed in a must-read entry in the Serbian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2006 (PDF). - *Everythings wrong with this article lol... First of all its out of place as Tesla didn't invent "robots" . Secondly it names it as his vision.. Which millions before him had.. Remember Galileo.. Hell just search up the history of robotics and one name will pop up and that is Al-Jazari. Al-Jazari was a great man(not the first but a pretty important figure in very early robotics)* 8. Laser - Tesla’s invention of the laser may be one of the best examples of the good and evil bound up together within the mind of man. Lasers have transformed surgical applications in an undeniably beneficial way, and they have given rise to much of our current digital media. - *No you didn't just mention lasers :fp:.. Did you even read this list before linking it? Did you try some background research?* en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser 9 and 10. Wireless Communications and Limitless Free Energy. - *Nonsense at its best init..* en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless
J.P. Morgan funded Tesla 150.00 dollars ( over 3 million today with inflation) to make that tower in 1900. But in 1903 it wasn't completed so Morgan stopped funding him

Best flow: Tesla, modeled off the smoothness and regularity of his AC current Best lines: Tesla, telling the truth Who lost: humanity......... FUN FACT: at 1:14, this is a reference to how Tesla would electrify the ground outside of his laboratory and place lightbulbs down/ hold them, allowing the electricity to run through his body and light up the bulbs despite their being no wires (startled a few local horses, though- horseshoes conducted the electricity). On a regular basis, he allowed his entire body to become electrified in his lab, and it never harmed him because he understood how electricity flowed. Absolute. Effin'. Genius.
Holy shit, you just made catch something I didn't catch before. So in Edison's second verse, he electrocutes a dog, which is a reference to the fact that in real life Edison electrocuted animals with alternating current to try and prove it was too dangerous. In real life, Tesla responded to this by proving he could guide the volts through him and survive, as you have described above. So in this ERB, they essentially replicated that within the battle. So fucking awesome
If AC current is so smooth, then why do we have to use inverters to use it for anything? You have it backwards. DC is used in immediate applications and is smooth/stable, AC by definition oscillates, which makes it easier for long distance transmission.
Burned at the stake by the people you tried to save, or dying a lonely slow death unrecognized for your achievements. Sorry that doesn’t sound very hopeful to me... 😰
This is one of FEW ERBs that the two people in history ACTUALLY hated each other. A lot of them are Hypotheticals, but this one is true hatred even in history. And I like that they reflected that with how pissed off he was with Edison. "You didn't steal from me, you stole me from mankind." Or "You couldn't handle my gifts with your greedy little mind", both have Anger oozing from the voice of the person who played Tesla, and it's clear that it was intentional. This is still one of my favorites.
Except that isn't true. All recorded references to each other were positive and respectful. The notion of a rivalry between them is a modern invention.
Hard agree. Everyone is riding Tesla's dick here (me included) because well you know, history but Jesus that "You never had sex but you sure got screwed by me" is so malicious
@@Merennulli Not that i've seen, Edison electrocuted an elephant using Tesla's electric flow to try show off how dangerous it was, he also stole patents of Teslas, patenting their work and not paying for it is stealing no matter how you rationalise it.
Loser: Mankind Man literally could have invented wireless electricity transmission and make power free before nuclear energy was even a thing. If only he had enough support
Honestly of all of the pairings they've done, these two seems like the two who would actually have a rap battle they wanted another thing to hold over the other.
"your did not steal from me you stole me from mankind" BOOM instant winner. I've always felt horrible about what happened to Tesla.. he deserved better than the trash he got from Edison.
@@businesswalks8301 That "patent clerk" was one of the few who gave birth to quantum mechanics, without which, you wouldn't be doing these comments on the device you're currently using.
Another myth created by marketing, Edison never actually invented the light bulb, he bought the patent from two Canadian brothers for an amount equivalent to multi-millions of dollars in today's money.
@@badblood18 somthing tells me if tesla would rise from the grave today and saw how we treated lightbulbs he would create the everlasting lightbulb before (probably without his controll) creating what he wanted to make all those years ago with tech he kinda helped to create
In history class my teacher started to talk about electricity she was talking about Edison claiming he was the person that made electricity a thing. To make a long story short I started a huge argument in my class
Edward Loh In fact, in the 1930's version of Frankenstein, in the scene where the monster was born, they used live electricity, and they used Tesla Coils, made by Nikola Tesla himself.
I like how even at the ending when Edison and Tesla are dancing, Tesla is still ahead of his time, dancing to disco, which became popular in the 1970's versus Edison's poor running man, which was a 20's dance. (I think it was running man, I'm no expert on dance styles, I'll admit)
Yea, most of Tesla's ideas were outlsndish as and never came to fruition. He was a genius, no doubt, but not the giant next to edison that everyone wants to believe
In 2007, scientists at MIT finally managed to wirelessly transmit power about 7 feet through the air using the most modern technology available. In 1899, Tesla wirelessly powered 200 light-bulbs from 26 miles away using a generator he built out of spare parts. THAT'S how far ahead of his time he was.
burnincrack Actually, it's the other way around. One mile is 1,6 kilometers, so 26 miles would a little more than 42 kilometers. Nikola Tesla wirelessly powered 200 light bulbs, rougly from the length of a marathon away.
@@Wzmtwin The only claim of that during their lifetimes was a remark by Tesla after his mind had broken down, despite him keeping a journal and never mentioning it at the time it supposedly happened. And, fairly damming to that claim, Edison legally owned Tesla's patents but let Tesla have them instead. Something legally documented that directly debunks this myth.

Lol I love how when it goes dark due to Edison taking away his inventions, Tesla lights it up with his a lightbulb. Tesla actually came up with a new way to make light bulbs to circumvent the patent Edison had on them lol.
@@trajic9204 Totally incorrect Tesla doesn't have any patents for light bulbs. you do know pretty much everything they say about Tesla is a lie you can go look up the original sources or read his autobiography to find out what really happened.

@@thefinalroman It's patent number 335786, you can literally look it up and us government patent office website. unless your gonna say someone else invented the arc lamp?
Yeah, Edison was a proponent of DC while Tesla promoted AC. There are still applications for DC but AC has a much better cost/performance ratio on most scales and its risks (relative to DC) can be mitigated.
Mateus Ramos Those lines are my favorite in all of ERB. That one, Hitler’s “I put the ‘Germ’ into Germany: I’m sick on this mic!”, Holmes and Watson’s “My sidekick’s a doctor. (Because his flows are so *ill* ), and Lewis and Clark’s “We put the dis in dysentery cause we spit sick”
"I don't alternate my flow, I diss you directly." this says so much, the fact it refers to alternating current and direct current is literally insane how ERB thought of this
"You did not steal from me, YOU STOLE ME FROM MANKIND!!!" Wow, Tesla. That's legendary. Tesla is the clear winner here. I don't even know the real facts, but as far as the in-video characters go, Tesla is the epic one.
Tesla made an electrical car,wireless tech,any place that is lighted up is from his ac power,the internet signals,wireless communication,and if Jo Morgan and edision didn't stop tesla all of this stuff that he invented and the other stuff he made would be all for free because tesla believe power should be free for all of mankind
That line is one of the best in the entire ERB series. Right up there with Babe Ruth's line about how Lance Armstrong forgot was real sportsmanship was.
Edison won, people just like Tesla because he was weird and quirky and a car company is named after him. Most people never even heard of Tesla before Musk made him famous again.
1:05 "50 thousand dollars" Tesla went to Edison to work for him so that he could get the funding for his ideas and research. However, Edison said he should stop working on them and focus on the pending inventions the company has offering Tesla 50 thousand dollars if he ever accomplishes them. Tesla made several patents for Edison but was never paid. When confronted, all Edison said was "you don't understand american humor".
00bort00 wrong, he was implying that ALL erb's are LIKE history lessons, not that ALMOST all erb's ARE history lessons. Close, but he said it correct. All he needed was a "like" between "almost" and "a".
Schkokoladenkeks tesla figured out how to get free and unlimited energy and he was trying to release the energy to the public. With free and unlimited energy for all, we could better ourselves as a species. But edison just wanted to make money off of electricity. So edison made it look like the energy that tesla was dealing with was dangerous. So everyone turned on tesla and his financial support droped him. Tesla would have given everyone free and unlimited energy. Tesla would have abolished poverty. Edison just took that away.
"YOU DID NOT STEAL FROM ME YOU STOLE ME FROM MANKIND!" FINISH HIM! "If the people knew you kept me from making power FREE! they would curse the con Edison with every utility!" FLAWLESS VICTORY FATALITY
That last line is genius because of the double meaning. Con Edison is a rather large power company that supplies New York and a few other places with electricity.
Besides being mistaken about non-Hertzian waves, Tesla committed a grave error here - he assumed that waves could travel through the Earth without loss. The analogy which he gave later in life was that he imagined the Earth as filled with fluid through which waves can travel without loss or dissipation. Carson refers to this (somewhat confusingly) as an “incompressible fluid”. In actuality, electromagnetic or current waves traveling through the Earth have losses of energy (to heat) which are quite large.(see footnote for more explanation) 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.
Lonely FatGuy Tesla was the real father of electric power... Edison kidnapped it and made it his own. At least Tesla has his name on cooler things like electric cars and Tesla coils!
@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial Edison did not kidnap Tesla's work with electric power. Tesla's electric work was primarily based on Alternating Current (AC). Edison only really worked with Direct Current (DC). Edison actually despised AC, so why would he steal work based on it? There are so many myths relating to Edison. Edison stole nobody's work with his Incandescent light bulb. He invented the first practical incandescent light bulb, and he never took anyone else's credit. His first patent for his light bulb work was literally titled "Improvement In Electric Lights," implying he is basing it off of others work, and not claiming otherwise.

FBI said that there was 250 documents in his room, CIA says that there wasn't any documents, while in Nikola Tesla museum in Serbia there is couple thousands of documents that the last living Tesla's relative gave to Yugoslav's government after he got possession of almost all of Tesla's documets that USA government gave him (keep in mind they probably didn't return half of them), in these documents there were plans for some kind of of a machine called "death ray" it was believed that during ww2 USA government asked Tesla to make a weapon similar to atom bomb. But there is very little to no evidence of this and he probably died before ever creating it. He was the most intelligent person to ever live so far.
Tesla probably tried creating a death ray gun which shoots plasma projectiles

This is referencing the time when Tesla worked for Edison, and Edison told Tesla if he could make improvements on the generator, Edison would give Tesla 50k(= 1 million today) as a reward. So Tesla worked on it for about a year and literally redesigned the generator to make it much better. After it is done, Tesla went to Edison for the 50k, Edison told Tesla he was just joking.

Just imagine the things that Tesla could achieve with today's technology.
Psycho Wolf So many things....
People give Tesla far too much credit. The man was smart, but science is built on the shoulders of giants. Tesla, like many other scientists (Including Edison) made fair incremental additions to their respective fields (Though Edison made far more.) and were he alive now instead of then, assuming someone else made the same discoveries in alternating currents, he'd be probably not bringing us all that far ahead.
Magilliam Harrison I agree,but were there and still are many others that could achieve such things? Think of that.
There is no definitive answer for hypothetical what-ifs on history, so asking that question is essentially pointless. However, odds are there would be. And in Tesla's case, we know there were. Tesla was not the only scientist exploring alternating currents. He's just more notable because he stirred up alot of drama and everybody loves an underdog story, even if it really wasn't that much of an underdog story as much as a story of a man with promise who went crazy.
Magilliam Harrison Firstly i know there were more people who did such things. That was my point. But you seem not to read the whole question. What i said is that were there many?
Their should be an entire musical about these two.
Like something on par with Hamilton or something.
Actualy that is a pretty good idea. You have a main protagonist and an antagonist of Edison, Tesla life was so interesting you really could make it a real musica

Underrated line..
In my opinion this line won the battle for him
Tesla won but Edison’s “Screwed by me line” was one of the most savage lines in the whole series
They meant "boycott GE", right? At least that's what I've been doing since first saw this video 7 years ago 😂
is "con" here just an abbreviation for conman? (not a native speaker and a little confused by the line)
@@AgentSteffi a ‘con’ is just a scam or a fraud. So he is saying that Edison wasn’t a scammer, but the scam itself.
That last line "they would curse the Con Edison with every utility" is almost Shakespearean in it's use of words. Con Edison can mean "Edison the con", calling Edison a con-man. But Con Edison also refers to Edison's electrical company, which sold electricity. The use of utility is also interesting, as it can mean "they curse him every time they receive an electrical bill" but also "they curse him with every tool at their disposal".
Bravo.
Yep. It was sublimely inspired.
***** Nah. Just literate.
Only a fellow student of Shakespeare can see such clever double entendres. Props to the ERB crew and yourself.

I haven't listened to this battle in like 10 years... and i remembered EVERY LINE. Really one of the best battles ever.
Tesla wanted to make a 80ft tall wireless electric power tower that would make electricity free of charge. Sadly, Thomas Edison and banker J.P.Morgan teamed up and tore it down before it could be completed .(Source:Wikipedia).
Which Wikipedia are you reading? Lol.. Wardenclyffe was brought down by Boldt not Edison and J.P. Morgan..
prove at least one of my comments false.. Go ahead I challenge you.. If you think I'm trolling then go ahead.. I speak the truth backed by evidence. Lets see you debunk it.
Ramble: 2.talk or write at length in a confused or inconsequential way.
Not show. Just read everything you've linked and especially your last link which seems to go beyond stupidity. But as always I'll start from the top.
The fluoroscope - a device for producing X-ray images - is something Tesla had been working on prior to Edison’s pig-headed dabbling. In the process, Edison managed to give his assistant terminal cancer (who had to have his arms removed before he ultimately died), and he almost blinded himself. But he sure got that patent all right. - *Tesla made some scrappy images and mailed them to roentgen, he didn't make a fluoroscope. Secondly Edison didn't hold his assistant to work on x-rays, his assistant demanded to work on them with him. Oh for your information Edison kept him on the payroll after his death.*
6-Edison backed out of paying Tesla $50,000 to fix his DC motor - which Tesla did with great ease. He managed to turn an inefficient device into something incredibly efficient that saved Edison all sorts of money (well more than he agreed to pay Tesla). All he said was that Tesla failed to “understand the American sense of humor” (Tesla was a Serbian immigrant). More like he failed to realize how much of a stingy two-timer Edison was. Edison offered to up his pay from $18 a week to all of $25. Tesla, not a moment too soon (but far too many too late), resigned. Thereafter he wound up digging ditches, before starting his own company and accepting investments to do some experiments in his own right. -*to fix? I think the article means to improve. With great ease? Almost two years. It hardly was a breakthrough.. Not only that In history itself it has been noted that only Tesla has stated this so(without proof) rendering it a myth*
If Edison hadn’t deemed one of Tesla’s most crucial radio wave-based innovations to be “impractical” back during World War I- when he first proposed plans for such-countless lives could have been saved for having the advantage of being able to detect enemy submarines. Of course it would be actualized until decades later. But just to think of what damage Edison’s ego-driven meddling has cost time and again is infuriating. - *teslas idea of the radar was way off of what the radar is. In this case, Edison actually saved the u.s armys money.* .en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla
3- Although the current of success swept into a place of high regard, he forewent obscene wealth so as to-in a show of unprecedented humility-save the Westinghouse Company (which would have gone broke with the royalty payments). Instead, Tesla made a few grand by just selling his patents outright. - *Tesla and his friends made over $200k in royalty.. Not only that few grand? Tesla sold the patent to Westinghouse for $216k...*(Source same as last Para)
2- Edison was known for his intimidation tactics (e.g. he used to hire a bunch of goons to smash technology and make sure he got his dues for his patents), but never did it get so bad as with his campaign against Tesla; he went so far as to invent the electric chair, using Tesla’s AC power to have a man on death row execute. The event was gruesome and messy, drawn out. George Westinghouse was quoted to have said, “They would have done better using an axe.” And so the first execution by electric chair took place, just to prove Tesla wrong (and preserve Edison’s financial stakes. - *edison didn't kill a man lol.. He had already allowed the u.s. Government to use the patent who executed a man, not Edison.*
You'll note that I've not debated everything the website has to offer. Because the remainder is just opinions(except the ac-dc war bit).
You're second link is the easiest to serve up.. It even conflicts your first link stating months of work. And again conflicts by stating how edison didn't have $50k while your first link states how it made edison rich..
3rd link then uh?
1. Alternating Current : *Tesla played a major role in AC but he was not the first to discover it*. Source: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current
2:2. Light - Of course he didn’t invent light itself, but he did invent how light can be harnessed and distributed. Tesla developed and used florescent bulbs in his lab some 40 years before industry “invented” them. *Umm what? Tesla never developed a fluorescent light bulb.. He made what we know as induction lamp(he was not the first btw). 40 years before industry? "The first commercial installation was done in 1904 in a hardware store in Newark, New Jersey.[5]" We are talking about Daniel McFarlan Moore's fluorescent light bulb btw. So by your articles saying Tesla had a lab and had lights in them by 1864? Hmm intriguing*
www.edisontechcenter.org/Fluorescent.html
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_McFarlan_Moore
3: . X-rays - Electromagnetic and ionizing radiation was heavily researched in the late 1800s, but Tesla researched the entire gamut. Everything from a precursor to Kirlian photography, which has the ability to document life force, to what we now use in medical diagnostics, this was a transformative invention of which Tesla played a central role.- "Tesla noted the hazards of working with his circuit and single-node X-ray-producing devices. In his many notes on the early investigation of this phenomenon, he attributed the skin damage to various causes. He believed early on that damage to the skin was not caused by the Roentgen rays, but by the ozone generated in contact with the skin, and to a lesser extent, by nitrous acid. Tesla incorrectly believed that X-rays were longitudinal waves, such as those produced in waves in plasma. These plasma waves can occur in force-free magnetic fields.[80][81]" - *Just wiki history of X-rays for source.. Any source will tell you that long before Tesla x-rays were researched even Tesla used a crooke's tube.. And the majority of development was done by roentgen not by Tesla.. And of course we do have Edison and the fluoroscope(credited by your first link itself).*
4: . Radio - Guglielmo Marconi was initially credited, and most believe him to be the inventor of radio to this day. However, the Supreme Court overturned Marconi’s patent in 1943, when it was proven that Tesla invented the radio years previous to Marconi. Radio signals are just another frequency that needs a transmitter and receiver, which Tesla also demonstrated in 1893 during a presentation before The National Electric Light Association. In 1897 Tesla applied for two patents US 645576, and US 649621. In 1904, however, The U.S. Patent Office reversed its decision, awarding Marconi a patent for the invention of radio, possibly influenced by Marconi’s financial backers in the States, who included Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie. This also allowed the U.S. government (among others) to avoid having to pay the royalties that were being claimed by Tesla.-*"In 1900, Tesla was granted patents for a "system of transmitting electrical energy" and "an electrical transmitter." When Guglielmo Marconi made his famous first-ever transatlantic radio transmission in 1901, Tesla quipped that it was done with 17 Tesla patents. This was the beginning of years of patent battles over radio with Tesla's patents being upheld in 1903, followed by a reverse decision in favor of Marconi in 1904. In 1943, a Supreme Court of the United States decision restored the prior patents of Tesla, Oliver Lodge, and John Stone.[90] The court declared that their decision had no bearing on Marconi's claim as the first to achieve radio transmission, just that since Marconi's claim to certain patents were questionable, he could not claim infringement on those same patents[91]" - 17 patents didn't make the radio lol.. Also teslas RC boat was demonstrated in 1898 while Marconi was selling the radio by 1896.* en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio
5. Remote Control - This invention was a natural outcropping of radio. Patent No.613809 was the first remote controlled model boat, demonstrated in 1898. *Well they got at least one right lol*
6.Electric Motor - Tesla’s invention of the electric motor has finally been popularized by a carbrandishing his name. While the technical specifications are beyond the scope of this summary, suffice to say that Tesla’s invention of a motor with rotating magnetic fields could have freed mankind much sooner from the stranglehold of Big Oil. However, his invention in 1930 succumbed to the economic crisis and the world war that followed. Nevertheless, this invention has fundamentally changed the landscape of what we now take for granted: industrial fans, household applicances, water pumps, machine tools, power tools, disk drives, electric wristwatches and compressors. - *Wont even bother as my source clarifies everything*en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor
7. Robotics - Tesla’s overly enhanced scientific mind led him to the idea that all living beings are merely driven by external impulses. He stated: “I have by every thought and act of mine, demonstrated, and does so daily, to my absolute satisfaction that I am an automaton endowed with power of movement, which merely responds to external stimuli.” Thus, the concept of the robot was born. However, an element of the human remained present, as Tesla asserted that these human replicas should have limitations - namely growth and propagation. Nevertheless, Tesla unabashedly embraced all of what intelligence could produce. His visions for a future filled with intelligent cars, robotic human companions, and the use of sensors, and autonomous systems are detailed in a must-read entry in the Serbian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2006 (PDF). - *Everythings wrong with this article lol... First of all its out of place as Tesla didn't invent "robots" . Secondly it names it as his vision.. Which millions before him had.. Remember Galileo.. Hell just search up the history of robotics and one name will pop up and that is Al-Jazari. Al-Jazari was a great man(not the first but a pretty important figure in very early robotics)*
8. Laser - Tesla’s invention of the laser may be one of the best examples of the good and evil bound up together within the mind of man. Lasers have transformed surgical applications in an undeniably beneficial way, and they have given rise to much of our current digital media. - *No you didn't just mention lasers :fp:.. Did you even read this list before linking it? Did you try some background research?* en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser
9 and 10. Wireless Communications and Limitless Free Energy. - *Nonsense at its best init..* en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless
J.P. Morgan funded Tesla 150.00 dollars ( over 3 million today with inflation) to make that tower in 1900. But in 1903 it wasn't completed so Morgan stopped funding him

Best flow: Tesla, modeled off the smoothness and regularity of his AC current
Best lines: Tesla, telling the truth
Who lost: humanity.........
FUN FACT: at 1:14, this is a reference to how Tesla would electrify the ground outside of his laboratory and place lightbulbs down/ hold them, allowing the electricity to run through his body and light up the bulbs despite their being no wires (startled a few local horses, though- horseshoes conducted the electricity). On a regular basis, he allowed his entire body to become electrified in his lab, and it never harmed him because he understood how electricity flowed.
Absolute. Effin'. Genius.
Holy shit, you just made catch something I didn't catch before.
So in Edison's second verse, he electrocutes a dog, which is a reference to the fact that in real life Edison electrocuted animals with alternating current to try and prove it was too dangerous. In real life, Tesla responded to this by proving he could guide the volts through him and survive, as you have described above. So in this ERB, they essentially replicated that within the battle. So fucking awesome
If AC current is so smooth, then why do we have to use inverters to use it for anything? You have it backwards. DC is used in immediate applications and is smooth/stable, AC by definition oscillates, which makes it easier for long distance transmission.

Or "You couldn't handle my gifts with your greedy little mind", both have Anger oozing from the voice of the person who played Tesla, and it's clear that it was intentional. This is still one of my favorites.

I like how even at the ending when Edison and Tesla are dancing, Tesla is still ahead of his time, dancing to disco, which became popular in the 1970's versus Edison's poor running man, which was a 20's dance. (I think it was running man, I'm no expert on dance styles, I'll admit)
I just want to know whether Tesla was doing the electric slide
damn this dude tripping balls and seeing things that are not there, lmao
@@yatzy7981 1:34
Tesla does a disco dance, Edison follows up with a Poor Running Man
There are so many tiny details in ERB that make them so much cooler
Well Edison died in 1931 so it’s normal if he knows
Nikola Tesla was the best exemple how good people with honest intentions rarely win against people with dollar signs instead of eyes !
Todor Vladorovic I mean he was also insane and started threatening to blow up the world in his later years
That's probably because all of his ideas got stolen and were used to make money
Yea, most of Tesla's ideas were outlsndish as and never came to fruition. He was a genius, no doubt, but not the giant next to edison that everyone wants to believe
In related news...….water is wet
Sheltonious Maximus oh shit, we got a genius here!
“You did not steal from me, you stole me from mankind” best line ever.
Well, actually its kinda true
@@malonei7472 Reason why it's one of the best lines.
This battle is a shocking example on how perception in history can change. Definitely one of the most underrated in my opinion
In 2007, scientists at MIT finally managed to wirelessly transmit power about 7 feet through the air using the most modern technology available. In 1899, Tesla wirelessly powered 200 light-bulbs from 26 miles away using a generator he built out of spare parts. THAT'S how far ahead of his time he was.
Westinghouse will rise again..
I fucking love tesla, bet u a million dollars that he made a machine and put in himself which will make him come baack to life if someone activated it
Hum, can you transform 7 feets and 26 miles into meters and kilometers? Thanks
1 foot is around 30cm, so thats 210cm, and 26 miles, a KM is 1.6mil or so, so its like 16km or so
burnincrack Actually, it's the other way around. One mile is 1,6 kilometers, so 26 miles would a little more than 42 kilometers. Nikola Tesla wirelessly powered 200 light bulbs, rougly from the length of a marathon away.
"no lights, no camera, no sound see?" ...but i can still hear him...
+crosbowkil98 I think he meant the music (or the mic... idk)
+crosbowkil98 Cause he's in the room with you
+crosbowkil98 No lights? the incandescent light bulb was invented by Joseph Swan.
Chris Marie Yeah it wasn't Edison. What was the name of the guy who created the gas light?
If it's Joseph then I'm horrible.
+Pedro_The_Unicorn_Fucker i thought that xD
“You’re best invention was a way to steal credit” Tesla for the Win
.
Yes definitely won the battle for Nikola Tesla. Also when he said that he was stolen from mankind.
I'm sorry but.. Your*
"You never had sex, but you sure got screwed by me!"
Edison won.
@@lastfullast8819 That was easily one of the weakest verses in this entire battle Tesla won
The fact that these two KNEW each other makes the battle way more exciting
They did also hate each other in real life, i think. Edison was a total jerk to Tesla
@@StrawberryMilkk224There's no historical evidence to support that, and plenty to refute it. Both spoke very respectfully of one another.
@@MerennulliEven if the talk was respectful, Edison's actions towards Tesla weren't.
@@Wzmtwin The only claim of that during their lifetimes was a remark by Tesla after his mind had broken down, despite him keeping a journal and never mentioning it at the time it supposedly happened. And, fairly damming to that claim, Edison legally owned Tesla's patents but let Tesla have them instead. Something legally documented that directly debunks this myth.
@@MerennulliI don't think you understand what he means by "actions".
I won't say this is the best battle, but it's definitely my favorite.

that's *shocking*

Still lost tho
Kris Melton no lol
Crycifixion he definitely lost
Crycifixion definitely
Kris Melton Na lol.
“I’ll bet you $50,000 that you’ll never forget it. “
I love this line in particular. It just reminds me how awful Edison really was to Tesla.
Just some american humor
It was 50 K. Still, just some good old american humor, this serbian couldn't get a joke.
BigBoss7007 $50,000 back then is over $1.5 million dollars today
@@haroldthetree2887Didn't know you were talking about today.
BigBoss7007 you were correcting him because he said $1,000,000 idiot
10 years and the beat is still so fire. ERB is just the best
“You did not steal from me, you stole me from mankind!”
Over 7 years later and that line is still one of the most epic ever in the history of ERB.
Too bad it's nonsense.

@Vandana Gupta Tesla was a fraud...
ruclips.net/video/6331JXvOUGY/видео.html
@Vandana Gupta Tesla was a loser nobody. Edison was a genius that brought in the modern world. Facts are with EDISON. losers on meds are with crazy tesla the bum...
ruclips.net/video/6331JXvOUGY/видео.html
@Vandana Gupta You have no facts just childish movies. Edison dominated the pathetic loser tesla so bad he married a bird died alone a loser with dementia. YOU LOST...
@Vandana Gupta Tesla invented nothing. YOU HAVE NO FACTS AND YOU ARE DUMB AF LOSER....
Lol I love how when it goes dark due to Edison taking away his inventions, Tesla lights it up with his a lightbulb. Tesla actually came up with a new way to make light bulbs to circumvent the patent Edison had on them lol.
Without wire
Tesla never invented a light bulb
@@thefinalroman yeah he did, it's called the Carbon Button Lamp.
@@trajic9204 Totally incorrect Tesla doesn't have any patents for light bulbs. you do know pretty much everything they say about Tesla is a lie you can go look up the original sources or read his autobiography to find out what really happened. The fake Tesla is a made up TV movie genius that never existed...
@@thefinalroman It's patent number 335786, you can literally look it up and us government patent office website. unless your gonna say someone else invented the arc lamp?
"I don't alternate my flow, I diss you directly"
It's the most clever line by large, although I think Tesla won because of his 2nd verse.
Yeah just discovered how clever that line is, as a person who is studying physics right now (only at secondary education level though)
Yeah, Edison was a proponent of DC while Tesla promoted AC. There are still applications for DC but AC has a much better cost/performance ratio on most scales and its risks (relative to DC) can be mitigated.
Mateus Ramos Those lines are my favorite in all of ERB. That one, Hitler’s “I put the ‘Germ’ into Germany: I’m sick on this mic!”, Holmes and Watson’s “My sidekick’s a doctor. (Because his flows are so *ill* ), and Lewis and Clark’s “We put the dis in dysentery cause we spit sick”
And also JP Morgan’s “Yo, I own the railroad: I run these tracks”
Max Langerud what battle was that?
"I don't alternate my flow, I diss you directly."
this says so much, the fact it refers to alternating current and direct current
is literally insane how ERB thought of this
Half the battle uses clever puns like this
@@chango.-. true
"You did not steal from me, YOU STOLE ME FROM MANKIND!!!"
Wow, Tesla. That's legendary. Tesla is the clear winner here. I don't even know the real facts, but as far as the in-video characters go, Tesla is the epic one.
Tesla made an electrical car,wireless tech,any place that is lighted up is from his ac power,the internet signals,wireless communication,and if Jo Morgan and edision didn't stop tesla all of this stuff that he invented and the other stuff he made would be all for free because tesla believe power should be free for all of mankind
Completely agree; that line made my heart skip a beat.
1:21 "you did not steal from me
you stole me from mankind"
EPIC LINE!
AJ Can you explain me the line?
Aylin AlGa
He was going to use his invention to power the world for free, but Eddison was a greedy fucker and put him out of bisnuess
Rick Smith Thank you! I asked because it's our assignment in Physics to explain the whole rap. (:
That line is one of the best in the entire ERB series. Right up there with Babe Ruth's line about how Lance Armstrong forgot was real sportsmanship was.
Thats why it is called epic rap battles of history
Tesla's flow was electrifying.
Nice one
TESLAFYING BIATCH
Tesla is the real OG.
Edison's resistance was futile.
Ikmel A.A.A. he is
No one gonna talk about how groovy this beat is?
“Ugh power costs to much”
*Serbian laughter in the distance*
"xaxaxaxaxa"
Is electricity free in serbia?
Tesla was Serbian
@@Ravenofthedog
I know, but is elctricity free?
@@frocco7125 Hahahahahahaha....nope, electricity isn't free here, I can confirm :D
Even before the rap battle begin 99% of the people watching this already know Who Won.
Yes!, Nikola Tesla. Duh
Edison won, people just like Tesla because he was weird and quirky and a car company is named after him.
Most people never even heard of Tesla before Musk made him famous again.
@@BoleDaPole nope! there is also SI unit "Tesla". he had make so many Dangerous machines too. i watched many videos on Tesla
@@BoleDaPole I knew him _way_ before. Tesla coils are a thing, you know.
@@BoleDaPole nope definitely knew him before the car lol
1:05 "50 thousand dollars"
Tesla went to Edison to work for him so that he could get the funding for his ideas and research. However, Edison said he should stop working on them and focus on the pending inventions the company has offering Tesla 50 thousand dollars if he ever accomplishes them. Tesla made several patents for Edison but was never paid. When confronted, all Edison said was "you don't understand american humor".
That's a lot of damage!!!!
Thats what makes that line hurt so much.
You don't understand the American humor, but I will keep the patent.
-Thomas Beta Male.
What a prat Edison was
When I heard that line it physically hurt. Edison was such a prick. He took advantage of so many brilliant people and got away with it. :(
Why isn't this the most watched video on ERB? So far, of the ERB episodes I watched, this is the best and most creative.
This wasn't just a rap battle, it was a history lesson lol.
Every erb is almost a history lesson
almost every erb*
00bort00 wrong, he was implying that ALL erb's are LIKE history lessons, not that ALMOST all erb's ARE history lessons. Close, but he said it correct. All he needed was a "like" between "almost" and "a".
00bort00 isnt that why they call it epic rap battles of history
Oh yeah Goku superman Tmnt are totally historical figures
"You stole me from mankind"
Catherine this line. Damn
He owned the rap right there.
I dont get it? Could somebody explain ist to me?
Schkokoladenkeks Eddison kinda tried to get in the way of Tesla and his inventions.
Schkokoladenkeks tesla figured out how to get free and unlimited energy and he was trying to release the energy to the public. With free and unlimited energy for all, we could better ourselves as a species. But edison just wanted to make money off of electricity. So edison made it look like the energy that tesla was dealing with was dangerous. So everyone turned on tesla and his financial support droped him. Tesla would have given everyone free and unlimited energy. Tesla would have abolished poverty. Edison just took that away.
Wow, "You did not steal from me you stole me from mankind." That's a really awesome lyric!
11 years later and I JUST realized the beat is meant to sound like Tesla coils
"YOU DID NOT STEAL FROM ME YOU STOLE ME FROM MANKIND!"
FINISH HIM!
"If the people knew you kept me from making power FREE! they would curse the con Edison with every utility!"
FLAWLESS VICTORY
FATALITY
Yep
That last line is genius because of the double meaning. Con Edison is a rather large power company that supplies New York and a few other places with electricity.
Besides being mistaken about non-Hertzian waves, Tesla committed a grave error here - he assumed that waves could travel through the Earth without loss. The analogy which he gave later in life was that he imagined the Earth as filled with fluid through which waves can travel without loss or dissipation. Carson refers to this (somewhat confusingly) as an “incompressible fluid”. In actuality, electromagnetic or current waves traveling through the Earth have losses of energy (to heat) which are quite large.(see footnote for more explanation) 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.
Teslality.
*DESTRUCTION 100*
I can listen to him say "Tessslaaa" forever.
Same 😂

Nikola Tesla: the REAL father of electricity.
Edison was not the inventor although he got a paten for these inventions and advertised the things he plagiarized. So he was more of a business man
The REAL father of transformers
And the radio
Lonely FatGuy Tesla was the real father of electric power... Edison kidnapped it and made it his own. At least Tesla has his name on cooler things like electric cars and Tesla coils!
@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial Edison did not kidnap Tesla's work with electric power. Tesla's electric work was primarily based on Alternating Current (AC). Edison only really worked with Direct Current (DC). Edison actually despised AC, so why would he steal work based on it? There are so many myths relating to Edison. Edison stole nobody's work with his Incandescent light bulb. He invented the first practical incandescent light bulb, and he never took anyone else's credit. His first patent for his light bulb work was literally titled "Improvement In Electric Lights," implying he is basing it off of others work, and not claiming otherwise.
"You did not steal from me, you stole me from mankind." That line goes as hard today as it did over a decade ago.
Tesla Wins
FATALITY
FLAWLESS VICTORY
Super Critic MORTAL KOMBAT
yeah but edison also did rly good so great victory
godhedsmanden pretty sure Edison and Tesla were kind of frenemies as well.
well, surely just in the beginning i'd assume
Tesla wins this but unfortunately Edison won in real life.

no one was even arguing dude, Way to be rude outta nowhere
No one have said the actor is Peter. We have been pointing out that the voice is a mix of Dante and Peter
bro 11yrs later and the line "you did not steal from me you stole me from mankind" still sends shivers down my spine
The victory : something that Edison couldn't steal from Tesla
NICE!!!!

But he did. There is nothing Edison can't take lol
He may have steal his work, but he cannot steal the legacy that Tesla left

Mr.Knight The Detective that’s why Einstein is a legend. Tesla too
@DepressedAF 🤣🤣
Reference?
Nope he didn't.
I also remembered reading somewhere once, when asked what wisdom that he gained throughout his life that he would like to share with everyone, Albert Einstein answered "Don't trust everything you read on the internet, especially if it's a quote by someone famous"
this is the hardest beat in ERB history. easily an S tier episode
