Edison VS Tesla Name Subject Date Professor University Many believe that Thomas Edison was the inventor of the incandescent light bulb and regards him as a symbol for electrical ingenuity. But to others, Thomas Edison was only the CEO of a corporation that invented and pioneered several electric components and devices as we know them today. Edison was not so much an inventor or innovator, but an entrepreneur and businessman. Of the thousands of engineers and employees under Edison, one of them stood out among the rest. His name was Nikola Tesla.
The discovery by representatives of the NYPD Bomb Squad, found a substance that was later determined to likely be the insoluble residue from the depolarizing element of a small, dry battery. From past knowledge they made a conclusion that a dry cell battery could have powered a flashbulb in an incendiary device. The thought lightning hitting the Hindenburg’s flammable skin was also true. During the Hindenburg’s landing or decent into the airbase, a storm was brewing near the airbase. One lightning hit to the Hindenburg would have sent it into flames.
It seems that He could rarely be mistaken. Benjamin Franklin was born on January 17th, 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts, to Josiah Franklin and Abiah Folger Franklin. Benjamin, who was the tenth child, of seventeen sisters and brothers, “the youngest son of a youngest son for five generations back” (Franklin). Benjamin was a smart child who loved to read Abiah and Josiah wanted Benjamin to be a clergyman, but due to financial issues they could not send Benjamin to college, so Josiah had him first apprenticed as a candle maker and then to his brother, James as a typesetter in a printing press. The books, papers and ideas he was introduced to in his brother’s shop set the young man on a path to greatness.

Galileo Galilei was the oldest of seven children. He was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. The father of Galileo wanted him to pursue a profession in medicine because the occupation brought more of an income on the high side. Galileo went to go study in a Jesuit monastery at eleven years. Galileo told his father that he wanted be a monk after four years.
Here we will discuss accidental and suicidal asphyxiation as well as strangulation. Accidental asphyxiation can be as simple as being locked in a room and running out of oxygen. Like when children get accidentally locked in a refrigerator, likewise, you could have an individual commit suicide by locking themselves in a refrigerator. It is basically anything that obstructs the oxygen flow that can be explained away as accidental. A man was found to have died of accidental asphyxiation after trying to lower himself by rope alongside an office building with the intent of creating graffiti art without “any special rope repelling equipment on, climbing equipment or anything like that” ("Graffiti artist found," 2013).
While blindfolded he could no longer control is motions, “I stumbled about like a baby or a drunken man” (22) and that shows that he really couldn’t see. It didn’t help that he was inhaling smoke too. He was invisible until he got hit because the men would see that and they’d yell stuff like “kill him” (23) and “slug him, black boy! Knock his guys out”
Nikola Tesla is the true prophet of the electrical age and in no doubt one of the most brilliant inventor of the 19th and 20th century, with whom our radio, alternating current power generation and transmission, radio and television would all have been impossible. Yet his life and times have vanished largely from the general public. One of the many inventions Tesla has created, probably the most notable one, was the alternating current or AC induction motor, which made the universal transmission and distribution of electricity possible. Even though Tesla's eccentric life had caused him to be a social recluse and unknown to many, his spark of genius has created many inventions that indeed have changed the world. Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in Yugoslavia to a father, who was a Christian orthodox priest, and a mother, who was unschooled but highly intelligent (ChipCenter).
The younger Haley always spoke proudly of his father and the stuff of racism he had overcome. Alex Haley was enrolled at Alcorn State University at age 15. Two years later he returned to his parents to inform them of his withdrawal from college. Simon Haley felt that Alex needed discipline and growth and convinced his son to enlist in the military when he turned 18. On May 24, 1939, Alex Haley began his twenty-year enlistment with the Coast Guard.
The Franklins were always involved in something; they were part of the very early in the Reformation in Europe. Franklin’s father Josiah moved from England to America in 1682; he came with his wife and three other kids. Josiah had four more children. Benjamin was put in to grammar school, with the thought of later being involved in the church. He excelled in writing, and was top of his class, but he failed math.
