About Escape Tour new-york
Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla, two ambitious geniuses who were ahead of their time. Their inventions in the 19th and 20th centuries played a major role on the development of contemporary society. Edison, of course, became known for his invention of the light bulb. But he also walked around for a while with the brilliant idea of making electric cars. That would be the future! Tesla could relate to this and already saw himself working in Edison's company. So when Tesla emigrated from Serbia to New York in 1884, it wasn't long before he became responsible for developing an electric motor.
With today's knowledge, we know that Tesla is the most famous electric car brand in the world. But how is that possible when the original idea came from Edison today. What happened between these two men anyway? One thing is certain: what started as a nice partnership ended in a tank of misery. And Tesla? He was no longer sure of his life!
