Edison or Tesla

by **shadowsteel9** on Tue Jun 10, 2008 11:16 am

There are many disputes today about who invented what, particularly in the case of Edison and Tesla.
so my question to you is: Who do you think was truly the greatest mind of their time.
Personally I believe it was Tesla, who's inventions were amazing, most of which never were produced, and some of which were stolen by Edison.

I too, went with Tesla. His coils alone where an incredible invention, way cooler that the lightbulb. Free energy? wow...

Plus, Edison didn't have any feelings. He was heartless.

Plus the obvious, but ever useful light bulb.

Nope, Tesla worked on the motors and engines, not the light bulb. [-X

Sry bout that, i just researched it and Edison invented the incandescent bulb, Tesla invented fluorescent and neon bulbs

Tesla for the win!

Tesla worked on anything and everything. He invented the florescent light bulb, and neon lighting. But whether or not he invented the incandesant light bulb is still debated.
