Thomas Alva Edison vs. Nicolas Tesla

=> Thomas Alva Edison Vs Nikola Tesla

Nickola Tesla: The Genius who lit the world. Have you heard of Nickola Tesla? Surprisingly, many people still do not realize the impact his work has made on American society, and the whole world. You might be wondering, "What is the War of Currents and what does it have to do with Nickola Tesla?" Well picture this...

Two mentalities come to a clash. One relies on the systematic proofs of trial and error. The other uses mathematical principles and theory to derive results. No booms or bangs of detonating cannons, or explosions of military camps are heard. Only the tension of conflicting beliefs, paired with the piercing buzz of electircal currents penotrating the air. The casualties? A few commoners in a freak electrical accident and some household pets. Not quite like an ordinary war? That's because it isn't. It is The War of Currents, led by the two genuises Thomas Edison and Nickola Tesla.

In 1887, the sparks that ignited The War of Currents arose. It was a time when elctricity was lighting homes and streets all over America's cities. The energy was provided by Thomas Edison's direct current, usually referred to as DC. Edison's breakthrough was a turning point for life in America. At that point, electricity could be transmitted from its source to a light bulb ten feet away. Even more useful, power from one building would be shot down a wire to a neighboring building, sharing energy and the new luxury of light. The DC system, however, was far from perfect. DC moves only in one direction and has a constant voltage. This is a straight forward method for creating power, but the voltage tended to heat and often melt the copper wires through which it ran. This made DC transmission for distances over a mile dangerous, and sometimes impossible. Also, DC power cannot be changed by a transformer because of its unvarying voltage. Edison's solution was to merely create more wires to accomodate the needs of the city. This unfortunately caused New York to look more like a spider web rather than an industrialized city. In addition to the unattractive appearance DC imposed, hazardous effects arose as well. In the Great Blizzard of March 11-14, 1888, a total of four hundred people died. Many of those deaths were caused by an excess of collapsing DC wires that electrocuted those below. Clearly something had to be changed... 
Nikola Tesla was born in eastern Europe, in what is now called Croatia near the border of Bosnia. His revolutionary way of thinking presented somewhat of an opposition to Edison's DC system. Tesla invisioned a form of power called alternating current, also known as AC. He knew the faults of DC, and brainstormed a way to eliminate those problems, with an electric current of his own. AC's voltage, unlike DC, is not constant. While DC's voltage can be presented as a linear function with a constant value, AC voltage can be displayed as a sine wave. This is not as straight forward as Edison's system because one might think power is reduced when the voltage is in the negative phase of the sine wave. However, power does not rely solely on voltage; power = voltage x current. The current of AC also resembles a sine wave, being negative and positive at the same time the voltage is. So when the two negative values are multiplied, the power is still positive. Therefore, the same amount of power can be attained from the AC system, without keeping a constant high voltage that caused endless wire damage in the DC system. The most important advantage of the AC system is its ability to be modified by a transformer. With the AC system, the same line used to power a lamp can also used to power a motor. No more melting or excessive wires, no more distance restrcitions, no more DC. Tesla had outdone Edison, not by improving the DC system, but by creating a whole new electrical wonder of his own.

And so the war began. It was said that Edison, well aware of his system becoming obsolete, would not accept AC because it wasn't his idea. He then launched an anti-AC campaign, describing DC as "a river flowing peacefully to the sea, while alternating current was like a torrent rushing violently over a precipice." With the help of Harold Brown, Edison would continue the battle for sales, and recognition. Brown assisted Edison's propaganda by electrocuting dogs and horses to demonstrate the "dangers" of the AC system. These string of electrocutions actually led the the development of the electric chair.

Tesla's only efforts in this battle were demonstrations of his efficient AC motors and transformable power. At the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, J.P. Morgan (General Electric Company) offered to power the first all-electric fair. GE was a company backing DC, and they asked for one million dollars to light the fair. This task would require massive amounts of copper wire, some for the motors, and others for the lights. Different wires had to be used because of DC's unchanging voltage. George Westinghouse was by this time, a believer and supporter of Tesla's AC system. He offered to light the fair for half the price. This was a practical offer because AC wouldn't require all the wire DC needed. So a point was won for AC and Tesla when Westinghouse was granted the contract for powering the fair.

GE's retaliation was to ban the use of Edison's lamps for Westinghouse. This was a small obstacle for Tesla and Westinghouse, as they once again paralyzed the public in awe at the Columbian Exposition later that same year. They were chosen over Edison's DC system to power the fairgrounds and win the appreciation of spectators and energy users of the country. It didn't take many more displays of superiority for AC to be renowned as the more efficient power source. Soon after, 80% of all electric devices in the U.S. were for alternating current. Finally, the AC system was recognized as the invention that would light the future.

John Adams (October 30, 1735 (O.S. October 19, 1735)  – July 4, 1826) was an American Founding Father, the first Vice President, and the second President of the United States  .Adams came to prominence in the early stages of the American Revolution. As a delegate from Massachusetts to the Continental Congress, he played a leading role in persuading Congress to declare independence and assisted Thomas Jefferson in drafting theDeclaration of Independence. As a diplomat in Europe, he was a major negotiator of the eventual peace treaty with Great Britain, and chiefly responsible for obtaining important loans from Amsterdam bankers








Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 [O.S. January 6, 1705^[1]] – April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, musician, inventor,satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. He invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the Franklin stove, a carriageodometer, and the glass 'armonica'.^[2] He formed both the first public lending library in America and the first fire department in Pennsylvania.^[3]

Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922) was an eminent scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator who is credited with inventing the first practical telephone.^{[N 1]}

Bell's father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work.^[3] His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first US patent for the telephone in 1876.^{[N 2]} In retrospect, Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.

Albert Einstein ( /ˈælbərt ˈaɪnstaɪn/; German: [ˈalbɐt ˈaɪnʃtaɪn] ( listen); 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-borntheoretical physicist who developed the general theory of relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics.^[2][3] Einstein is generally considered the most influential physicist of the 20th century. While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc² (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"),^[4] he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect".^[5] The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory within physics.

Andrew Carnegie ( /kɑrˈneɪɡi/ kar-nay-gee, but commonly /ˈkɑrnɨɡi/ kar-nə-gee or /kɑrˈnɛɡi/ kar-neg-ee)^[1] (November 25, 1835 – August 11, 1919) was a Scottish-American industrialist who led the enormous expansion of the American steel industry in the late 19th century. He was also one of the most important philanthropists of his era.

Carnegie was born in Dunfermline, Scotland, and emigrated to the United States with his parents in 1848. His first job in the United States was as a factory worker in a bobbin factory. Later on he became a bill logger for the owner of the company. Soon after he became a messenger boy. Eventually he progressed up the ranks of a telegraph company. He built Pittsburgh's Carnegie Steel Company, which was later merged with Elbert H. Gary's Federal Steel Company and several smaller companies to create U.S. Steel. With the fortune he made from business among others he built Carnegie Hall, later he turned to philanthropy and interests in education, founding the Carnegie Corporation of New York, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Carnegie Institution of Washington,Carnegie Mellon University and the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh.

Madeleine Korbelová Albright (born May 15, 1937) was the first woman to become the United States Secretary of State. She was appointed by US President Bill Clinton on December 5, 1996, and was unanimously confirmed by a U.S. Senate vote of 99–0. She was sworn in on January 23, 1997.

Albright currently serves as a Professor of International Relations at Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service. She holds a PhD from Columbia University. She holds honorary degrees from Brandeis University (1996); the University of Washington(2002); Smith College (2003); University of Winnipeg (2005); the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2007), and Knox College(2008).^[3] In May 2012, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by US President Barack Obama.^[4] Secretary Albright also serves as a Director on the Board of the Council on Foreign Relations.^[5]

The food chain

The Food Chain

Every living thing needs energy in order to live. Everytime animals do something (run, jump) they use energy to do so.

Animals get energy from the food they eat, and all living things get energy from food. Plants use sunlight, water and nutrients to get energy (in a process called photosynthesis). Energy is necessary for living beings to grow.

A food chain shows how each living thing gets food, and how nutrients and energy are passed from creature to creature. Food chains begin with plant-life, and end with animal-life. Some animals eat plants, some animals eat other animals.

 Food Web

A food web is a graphical description of feeding relationships among species in an ecological community, that is, of who eats whom (Fig. 1). It is also a means of showing how energy and materials (e.g., carbon) flow through a community of species as a result of these feeding relationships. Typically, species are connected by lines or arrows called "links", and the species are sometimes referred to as "nodes" in food web diagrams.

The Narragansett People

How do you pronounce "Narragansett?" What does it mean?It's pronounced "nair-uh-GANN-set." It comes from the Narragansett placename naiaganset, which means "small point of land." 






Where do the Narragansett Indians live today?The Narragansetts are original people of Rhode Island and Connecticut. 






The Narragansett Indians are a Northern Native American people, who once occupied what is now the state of Rhode Island. There were around 10,000 people in their tribe in the 1600's. 
The Narragansett were considered the warriors of their region, often going to war with neighboring tribes to gain land. Their tribe consisted of eight groups, each having their own chief. These chiefs answered to a single lead chief.


 




What was Narragansett culture like in the past? What is it like now?Here is the homepage of the Narragansett Indian Tribe. On their site you can learn about the heritage and traditions of the Narragansett people. 





What about Narragansett religion?Religions are too complicated and culturally sensitive to describe appropriately in only a few simple sentences, and we strongly want to avoid misleading anybody. You can visit this site to learn more about New England Algonquian traditions and symbols or this site about Native American religions in general. 




What kinds of stories do the Narragansetts tell?There are many traditional Narragansett legends and fairy tales. Storytelling is very important to the Narragansett Indian culture. Here's one Narragansett legend about Rabbit and the snow. 


What kinds of weapons did the Narragansetts use?Narragansett hunters and warriors used bows and arrows, spears, and clubs. Fishermen used pronged spears, nets, and bone hooks. 




What was Narragansett food like in the days before supermarkets?The Narragansetts were farming people. Narragansett women harvested corn, squash and beans and also gathered nuts and fruit to eat. Narragansett men did most of the hunting. They shot deer, turkeys, and small game, and went fishing on the coast. Narragansett Indian recipes included soup, cornbread, and stews. 




What was Narragansett transportation like in the days before cars? Did they paddle canoes?Yes, the Narraganset Indians made dugout canoes by hollowing out large trees. They used them for transportation and for ocean fishing trips. Over land, the Narragansetts used dogs as pack animals. (There were no horses in North America until colonists brought them over from Europe.) Narragansett Indians used sleds and snowshoes to help them travel in the winter. (They learned to make those tools from northern neighbors like theCree Indians.) Today, of course, Narragansett people also use cars... and non-native people also use canoes. 




What was Narragansett clothing like? Did they wear feather headdresses and face paint?Narragansett women wore knee-length skirts and the men wore a breechcloth and leggings. Shirts were not necessary in the Narragansett culture, but Narragansett people did wear deerskin mantles in cool weather. Narragansett men and women both wore earrings and mocassins on their feet. Here is a picture of Narragansett clothing and some photographs and links about Indian clothing in general. 




What were men and women's roles in the Narragansett tribe?
Narragansett men were hunters and sometimes went to war to protect their families. Narragansett women were farmers and also did most of the child care and cooking. Both genders took part in storytelling, artwork and music, and traditional medicine. In the past, Narragansett chiefs were always men, but today a Narragansett Indian woman could be chief too. 






What language do the Narragansetts speak?Narragansett Indians all speak English today. In the past, the Narragansetts spoke their native Narragansett language. This language died out more than 100 years ago, but some young people are working to revive it. You can read a Narragansett picture glossary here. 






What was Narragansett culture like in the past? What is it like now?Here is the homepage of the Narragansett Indian Tribe. On their site you can learn about the heritage and traditions of the Narragansett people. 




How is the Narragansett Indian nation organized?The Niantic and Narragansett Indians share a reservation in Rhode Island. A reservation is land that belongs to an Indian tribe and is under their control. The Narragansett tribe has its own government, laws, police, and other services, just like a small country. But the Narragansetts are also US citizens and must obey American law. There are about 2500 members of the combined tribe today.
