Edison is known for the most stolen patents in history. He did work the direct current motor but it caused a lot of problem. People got electrocuted and there were many fires caused by that. Tesla fixed the problem but Edison did not pay sum offered.

∙ 8y agoFirst of all, Edison only invented one device in his life. The other ones were invented by his employees and Edison claimed the patent. Even the direct current motor could not work properly causing fires in homes. Tesla fixed that problem but Edison was kind enough not to pay the promised fee.
In reality, Edison did not have the brains to win the electric wars. He was also dumb enough to get a court order so that Tesla could not use his bulbs (Which were not invented by him) in the 1893 world fair. As a result, Tesla came out with a better bulb which is still used today. To this day, Edison has more stolen patents proven without a doubt.
He did invent a device. It was the electric chair.
Second response. The first answer borders on the absurd. Edison was most brilliant inventor of all time. Also, improvements to existing technologies are often patented. Improving the telegraph cannot go by without giving credit where its due.

Who worked with thomas Edison and did more than 700 inventions and was born in Croatia?
Nikola Tesla.
Nikola Tesla was he a modest man?
Nikola Tesla was a very modest man. Unlike his rival Thomas Edison, Tesla was very quiet about his inventions and kept to himself. Edison publicized his inventions, which is one reason why he is more famous than Tesla. Tesla had many phobias and quirks, like he was disgusted with jewelry and was obsessed with the number three. Another way that he was modest was that he was celibate. Even though many women dearly loved him, Tesla thought that by being celibate he would be a better scientist. He was a very quiet person and was never arrogant about his inventions. Not only knowledgeable in science, but also enjoyed things like philosophy and poetry. Edison received more credit than Tesla simply because Tesla never bragged about his inventions and was incredibly modest.
How do you feel what happened between thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla?
Edison was a greedy man. Most of his patents were done by his employees and he claimed the patent. Even the direct current motor was a thing he could not get it to work right. Tesla had it ready in a heart beat and Edison was not a man of his work and didn't pay Tesla for his work. Edison has the highest inventions stolen from the righteous owners.
How did Edison and Tesla know each other?
Nikola Tesla worked for Edison making the Edison Direct currrent machine workable because Edison and his scientists could not make it work properly. Edison was not good to his word and negleted the promise money he offered. Nikola parted his way and now we have his inventions.
What are the Differences between tesla and Edison?
Edison advocated DC supply and Tesla AC, so Tesla was right in this respect
Was Nikola Tesla afraid of misuse?
Yes, because he didn't want other people to use his inventions for the wrong purposes. A good example of misuse from Tesla's alternating current was when Thomas Edison used the alternating current to shock and kill animals, thus trying to prevent other people from using Tesla's inventions.
Were Tesla's inventions widely accepted?
Actually they were and are used today in modern technologies. It was the scientist Tesla who was obscured after his death. Alva Edison made that a daily routine since his electrical machine was proved not worthy.
When was The Fantastic Inventions of Nikola Tesla created?
The Fantastic Inventions of Nikola Tesla was created in 1993.
What famous scientist was a patent clerk?
Thomas Edison was a patent clerk and used this advantage to steal many inventions and claim them as his own.
What is the war of currents?
In the "War of Currents" era (sometimes, "War of the Currents" or "Battle of Currents") in the late 1880s, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. resources: wikipedia
