Tesla: Master of Modern Invention
J
30:02Juan NaulaNARRATOR
By 1894, Tesla had gained the admiration of his peers and was awarded honorary doctoral degrees from Columbia and Yale universities, as well as the Elliott Cresson Medal by the Franklin Institute.
J
30:15Juan NaulaNARRATOR
More good news followed after the Tesla Electric Company was contracted to build the first-ever hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls, a childhood dream of Tesla's that became a reality in 1895 after the first schematics were unveiled.
J
30:32Juan NaulaNARRATOR
The Niagara facility was an accomplishment that represented the ultimate defeat of the direct energy school of thought, and Tesla was lavished with the highest praise and honors, including even the Order of Danilo from King Nicholas of Montenegro, as his achievement was celebrated worldwide as an important step for the future of humanity.
J
30:56Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Tesla remained unperturbed after a fire in March 1895 at his laboratory destroyed much of his early research, including hundreds of models, notes, scientific tools, and photographs that had a combined value of $50,000.

J
42:23Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Determined to restore his credibility to investors by putting out a commercial product, Tesla devised a scheme to sell small Tesla coils to laboratories around the country via a company called the Tesla Electric and Manufacturing Company, but this ultimately went under because of a lack of investment.
J
42:44Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Downtrodden and defamed in the US Tesla would learn that even his reputation in his homeland could not save him after Serbian bankers declined to fund him, while his old business partner, John Jacob Astor, still annoyed that Tesla had spent his eighteen ninety-nine loan researching terrestrial stationary waves instead of wireless lighting, politely refused to get involved.
J
43:10Juan NaulaNARRATOR
By early 1904, Tesla was hiring out his services as a consultant and had embarked on a new project that aimed to harness the power of Niagara Falls in partnership with the businessman William B. Rankin.
J
43:24Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Yet Tesla's real desire was always to restart his experiments at Wardenclyffe, a prospect that was becoming increasingly unlikely since investors were discouraged by the fact that Morgan still owned fifty-one percent of Tesla's patents, meaning that business partners would always have to consult him to reap any financial benefit from Tesla's inventions.

23:12Alex MossGUEST
There was one more video I watched when someone said, if you showed a child now a video of niagara falls would that child believe that niagara falls is real right just because you showed them a video right and they won't know the only way to confirm it isn't by going on the internet because it could still not be it's by seeing it with your own eyes so things like travel i think it's going to become hugely important so more important to us as humans you know in the future as things that are around us offline are going to maybe i feel like it's You know, when you come out of a club, you've been in a club all night and then all of a sudden your ears are awaring.

Explorers and Travellers-Adolphus W. Greely
W
13:07William TomkoNARRATOR
I have obtained from God the favor of being enabled to visit the nations on the Mississippi River, and find myself in the happy necessity of exposing my life for the salvation of all these tribes, especially the Illinois.
W
13:23William TomkoNARRATOR
Joliet followed the St. Lawrence to Fort Frontenac at the entrance of Lake Ontario, and with the exception of the portage at the Falls of Niagara, skirted in his canoe the shores of the Great Lakes until he reached the Straits of Mackinac, on the north side of which, at Point St. Ignace, he found the enthusiastic Marquette devotedly laboring for the spiritual welfare of the Hurons and Ottawans there gathered.
W
13:50William TomkoNARRATOR
The contemplated line of travel was that of Jean Nicolet, an interpreter who had spent many years with the Indian tribes, who was sent in 1638 to bring about a peace between the Hurons and Winnebagos who lived near Green Bay.
W
14:05William TomkoNARRATOR
After his negotiations, he ascended the Fox River, and making a portage to the Wisconsin, descended that stream some distance, so that, as he thought, from the designation of the Great Water by the Indian guide to the Mississippi, he was within three days of the South Sea.
