A Partial Reason Why Nikola Tesla Was Forgotten in History - from fb page
In 1893, General Electric was caught stealing plans and blueprints from the Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Thomas Edison, Elihu Thomson, Michael Pupin, and Charles Steinmetz were all apart of the corporate espionage lead by Charles Coffin (the first president of GE). They couldn’t use Nikola Tesla’s system because of patent rights so they hired a janitor to steal from the Westinghouse plant. Each engineer’s job at GE were reduced to finding ways to bypass Tesla’s patents to create their own AC system in order for GE to compete with Westinghouse. After getting caught red-handed (and this is a fact) they claimed in court that they needed the plans to make sure Westinghouse wasn’t stealing from them.
All GE’s engineers made a name for themselves in today’s science and history books off Tesla’s work, but neither of them gave credit to Nikola Tesla for his innovative work in revolutionizing our electric power system. Obviously they were all controlled by GE, but it was in their best interest to act like Nikola Tesla never existed. And they did a great job. But Nikola Tesla is coming back!!!
