Tesla vs Edison is a traditional science battle but long since past. Edison had a primitive DC current as opposed to Tesla AC, which is the usual current now a days. both sides had different designs for light bulbs, Tesla being better. Tesla got his 15 minutes of fame at the world fair. they used AC & Tesla's light bulbs. Edison was rich but Tesla died in the red. also tesla was a inventor more of the thinking type but edison was a tinkering man.
He worked with the Edison company. This didn't mean they worked together. Tesla worked underneath Edison's command as a employee and not coworker. When Tesla came to the United States, Edison had serious problems with his direct curent motor which Tesla corrected. Edison didn't not meet his payment agreement so Tesla left his company. As most Edison's patents were the work of employees in his company, so was the major contribution Edison did electricatly which was the direct current motor which was in great part made by Tesla. Edison couldn't work it work no matter what.
Tesla and Edison had different approaches to electrical technology. Tesla focused on alternating current (AC) systems, which are more efficient for transmitting electricity over long distances. In contrast, Edison primarily worked with direct current (DC) systems. Additionally, Tesla was known for his inventive mind and theoretical work, while Edison was more of a practical inventor and focused on developing commercial products.
Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla met when Tesla started working for Edison at his company, Edison Machine Works, in 1884. Tesla made significant contributions to the company, but the two inventors had contrasting views on electricity and eventually parted ways due to disagreements on alternating current versus direct current.
Nikola Tesla was referred to Edison by a mutual friend. Tesla emigrated to New York and gave a recommendation letter to Edison who hired him to help develop DC power systems. Their partnership did not last long. Instead of working on DC power as Edison challenged him, Tesla chose to improve Faraday's AC power. Edison would not listen to Tesla's arguments for AC power, and Tesla quit. George Westinghouse then bought Tesla's AC patents, and directly challenged Edison in the current wars which Westinhouse eventually won. Ironically, many devices used today are DC (computers, cell phones, LED lights, etc.) as Edison predicted, and converters have to be used to step down from AC back to DC.

Tesla.
Edison Marshall's birth name is Edison Tesla Marshall.
In the reason and logic, Tesla was better.

In the "War of Currents" era 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. Edison had major flaws in his DC machine. Tesla made it work right. Edison has the pattent. In few words looking back in time, research shows that Edison had his inventors working for him getting him the patents. Edison never had ideas like Tesla had.

Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla met when Tesla started working for Edison at his company, Edison Machine Works, in 1884. Tesla made significant contributions to the company, but the two inventors had contrasting views on electricity and eventually parted ways due to disagreements on alternating current versus direct current.
Nikola Tesla was referred to Edison by a mutual friend. Tesla emigrated to New York and gave a recommendation letter to Edison who hired him to help develop DC power systems. Their partnership did not last long. Instead of working on DC power as Edison challenged him, Tesla chose to improve Faraday's AC power.

Ironically, many devices used today are DC (computers, cell phones, LED lights, etc.) as Edison predicted, and converters have to be used to step down from AC back to DC.
Tesla moved to the United States in 1884. When he arrived, he worked as an assistant to Thomas Edison, then in his late 30's. Edison had just invented the electric light bulb, but he needed a system to distribute electricity to houses. He designed a DC (direct current) system, but it had many bugs in it. Edison promised Tesla lots of money in bonuses if he could get the bugs out. Tesla took the challenge and ended up saving Edison over $100,000, which was millions of dollars by today's standards. Edison later refused to keep his promise. Tesla quit not long after that, and Edison spent the rest of his life trying to discredit Tesla which is the main reason why he is so unknown today. Edison was envious of him and instead of working a relatioship and working with him, the rest is known.
Tesla bypassed Edison's patent by making his bulbs with a bi-pin base instead of the screw in Edison base. It was only the patent for the Edison base that could reliably be enforced at the time.
