The United States government covered up his inventions during World War I and World War II since they were scared that the German Empire or the Nazis would develop a superweapon from his designs.
#TESLA VS LOVECRAFT REVIEW IGN FREE#
The corporate leaders of the time were scared of Tesla’s objective to invent free energy and took advantage of his business naiveté.
Thomas Edison had such ability and knowledge he also made political connections and promoted his public image.An unfortunate tendency to make wildly enthusiastic claims about how every new invention would bring about world peace, provide limitless free energy or occasionally both probably didn't help. He concentrated on science and ignored the need to build a network of contacts. Tesla lacked marketing ability and business knowledge.This essay lists 4 reasons for Tesla's lack of public recognition. In recent years, his reputation has very much swung the other way as a new generation of writers and scientists rediscovered his inventions and research. Examples include having things named after him, receiving multiple Nobel Prize nominations, being on the front cover of Time Magazine on his 75th birthday, and New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia reading a eulogy over the radio for him when he (Tesla) died. But for most of the later twentieth century, not a lot of people knew him (although the good news is that recently, he has been gaining more and more publicity).ĭespite his relative obscurity later on, Tesla was well known in his own time. It is safe to say that without this man, the 21st century would not exist as we know it. He ultimately died alone in a hotel room after failing to sell a giant Death Ray to the US government. However, a combination of poor business decisions, economic trouble, and pressures from arch-rival (but not enemy) Thomas Edison eventually led to the end of his good fortunes, and he acquired obsessive/compulsive tendencies and other eccentricities. He's also credited with a lot of early theoretical work on electromagnetic radiation that was later expanded into radar. Other patents of his include the equipment for radio, vertical take-off and landing gear, fluorescent light bulbs, and a radio-control mechanism that contained the earliest practical example of a logic gate.
