On July 6, 1884, Tesla arrived in New York[15]. He took a job with Thomas Edison (Edison Machine Works) as an engineer repairing electric motors and DC generators.
Edison rather coldly perceived Tesla's new ideas and more and more openly expressed disapproval of the direction of the inventor's personal research. In the spring of 1885, Edison promised Tesla $50,000 if he succeeded in constructively improving the direct current electric machines invented by Edison[16]. Nicola got to work and soon introduced 24 variations of the Edison machine, a new commutator and regulator that greatly improved performance. Having approved all the improvements, in response to a question about remuneration, Edison refused Tesla, noting that the immigrant still did not understand American humor well. Insulted, Tesla immediately quit

“It would be an unforgivable mistake to give such a talent the opportunity to go to Russia. You will still be grateful to me, Mr. Edison, for the fact that I did not spare a few hours to convince this young man to give up the idea of ​​​​going to Petersburg. I know two great people - one of them is you, the other is this young man.

By the spring of 1884, work at the Strasbourg railway station was completed, and Tesla returned to Paris, expecting a bonus of 25 thousand dollars from the company. Having tried to get the bonuses due to him, he realized that he would not see this money and, offended, quit[12].
One of the Soviet biographers of the inventor, B.N. Rzhonsnitsky[b], claims that Tesla was thinking about moving to Russia, but one of the administrators of the Continental Company, Charles Bechlor, persuaded Tesla to go to the USA. Bechlor wrote a letter of recommendation to his friend Thomas Edison

Work in the telegraph company did not allow Tesla to realize his plans for the creation of an alternating current motor. In late 1882, he took a job with the Continental Edison Company in Paris. One of the largest works of the company was the construction of a power plant for the railway station in Strasbourg. At the beginning of 1883, the company sent Nicola to Strasbourg to solve a number of work problems that arose during the installation of lighting equipment for a new railway station. In his spare time, Tesla worked on making a model of an induction motor. In 1883, the operation of the engine was demonstrated at the Strasbourg city hall.

Until 1882, Tesla worked as an electrical engineer for the government telegraph company in Budapest, which at that time was engaged in laying telephone lines and building a central telephone exchange. In February 1882, Tesla figured out how to use the phenomenon, later called the rotating magnetic field, in an electric motor.

In July 1873, Nikola received his Abitur. Despite his father's orders, he returned to his family in Gospic, where there was a cholera epidemic, and immediately became infected. Here is what Tesla himself said about this[14]:
The path of a priest was destined for me from childhood. This prospect, like a black cloud, hung over me. Having received a matriculation certificate, I found myself at a crossroads. Should I disobey my father, ignore my mother's loving wishes, or submit to fate? This thought oppressed me, and I looked into the future with fear. I deeply respected my parents, so I decided to study spiritual sciences. It was then that a terrible epidemic of cholera broke out, which wiped out a tenth of the population. Against my father's unquestioned orders, I rushed home, and the disease crippled me. Later, cholera led to dropsy, lung problems, and other illnesses.

In 1862, shortly after Dane's death, the father of the family was promoted to the rank, and the Tesla family moved to Gospic, where Nikola completed the remaining three grades of elementary school, and then the three-year lower real gymnasium, which he graduated in 1870. In the autumn of the same year, Nikola entered the Higher Real School in the city of Karlovac. He lived in the house of his aunt, his father's cousin, Stanka Baranovich.

He is widely known for his contributions to the development of alternating current devices, polyphase systems, the synchronous generator and the induction motor, which led to the so-called second stage of the industrial revolution.

He is also known as a supporter of the theory of the existence of the ether - thanks to his numerous experiments and experiments, which aimed to show the presence of the ether as a special form of matter that can be used in technology.
