Which inventor is famous for his contributions to the alternating current electrical system?

哪个发明家因对交流电系统贡献而出名？

It's just, it's just a direct current, is exactly what it is.

这就是直流电，正是它本来面目。

So there's a little converter in there and it's designed so it doesn't care what frequency the AC input is.

所以机器里面有一个小型转换器，它是特制，因而不用担心交流电输入频。

Feeling the pressure from Morgan, Edison sets out on a mission to prove his direct current is the safest form of electricity.

感觉到来自摩根压力 爱迪生启动了一项计划 他要证明直流电是最安全。

The electrons that move along an alternating current, on the other hand, periodically and consistently change direction.

另一方面，在交流电中移动电子会周期性地、持续地改变方向。

For most things that run on DC, that's from the battery to whatever it's powering.

对于大多数使用直流电源东西，所有能源都来自电池。

Edison used all sorts of dirty tricks to try to discredit AC.

爱迪生用尽了各种肮脏伎俩试图败坏交流电名声。

He begins using Tesla's alternating current in a series of demonstrations, hoping to scare the public about AC's power.

他开始使用特交流电进行一系列演示 希望吓退公众对交流电兴趣。

Morgan and Edison may have lit up New York, but Westinghouse and Tesla believe alternating current's greater power is more effective...

摩根和爱迪生点亮了纽约 但威汀豪和特相信交流电将会具有更大效用。

But Edison believes that higher voltage AC is more dangerous than the direct current electric standard he's pioneered.

但爱迪生认为 高压交流电比他倡导直流电更加危险。

Now free to pursue his own ideas, Tesla begins looking for an investor to back his AC technology.

现在特可以尽情追求自己理想了 他开始要找一位愿意支持交流电技术投资人。

Otherwise, the frequency of the AC power will speed up above 60 hertz.

否则，交流电频将会加快到超过60赫兹。

And now the whole world sees what alternating current can do.

如今，全世界都见证了交流电巨大潜力。

And as AC continued to grow in popularity, and Edison sensed he might not be able to win the battle if he competed fairly, he started to play dirty, his tactics becoming increasingly underhand.

随着交流电受欢迎程度持续上升，爱迪生意识到如果公平竞争他可能无法赢得这场战斗，于是开始玩起肮脏手段， 他策略变得越来越不光彩。

Tesla's error, if it can be defined as such, is that he was simply ahead of his time in trying to propose alternating current as the better method of energy generation.

特错误， 如果可以这么说话，只是因为他提出交流电作为更好发电方法时， 比他时代领先太多了。

I talked about the advantages it has with respect of loss of A.C. power and how it would cool itself down. So there's really no reason to stop the construction.

我谈到了它在失去交流电方面优势以及它如何自行冷却。所以真没有理由停止建设。

The induction motor, machines that use alternating current, Tesla has a lot of credits to its name, not counting the car company named after him.

AZUZ：感应电机， 使用交流电机器，特名字有很多功劳， 还不包括以他命名汽车公司。

The people who were giving him money for the company didn't like his ideas about developing technology related to alternating current, so they fired him.

给他公司投资人不喜欢他关于开发与交流电相关技术想法，所以他们解雇了他。

Tesla's first great invention, the motor that worked with alternating current, was the invention that helped kick off the kind of AC revolution.

特第一个伟大发明，即与交流电配合使用电机，是推动交流电革命发明。

This device that can produce high-voltage, low-current, high-frequency alternating-current electricity was used in the experiments concerning phosphorescence, wireless electricity and X-ray generation.

这款能够产生高电压、低电流、高频交流电设备被用于关于荧光、无线电力和X射线生成实验中。
