Umqambi waseSerbia-waseMelika, injineli kunye nekamva uNikola Tesla (ngo-1856 ukuya ku-1943) oneminyaka engama-40, malunga ne-1896.Ullstein bild / ullstein umfanekiso ngeGetty Images Umqambi waseSerbia-waseMelika uNikola Tesla waphila ubomi obungenakuqondwa kwaye wasweleka ezele indelelo kumqeshi wakhe owayesakuba ngumqeshi kunye nembangi yakhe, u-Thomas Edison, ngokweba ikhredithi ngomsebenzi wakhe wobomi. Kodwa ukuba ebephila ukuza kuthi ga kulo mhla, isazinzulu senkulungwane ye-19 esaziwa ngokuqamba inkqubo yanamhlanje yokutshintshela umbane ngewayeziva ekhululekile kwaye exabisa ukubona igama lakhe lizukiswa ngoosomashishini abaziwayo beli xesha lethu.
Kuyabonakala ukuba kukho i-Tesla Motor ka-Elon Musk. Ayisiyi-CEO ye-carmaker yombane kuphela ehlawula imbeko kumsunguli kwimidiya yoluntu, ukwathembise izigidi zeedola ukugcina ifa likaTesla, njengokwakha uNikola Tesla imyuziyam .
Kodwa uMusk akayena kuphela umlandeli kaNikola Tesla oye wabiza inkampani yakhe emva komqambi. Ngo-2014, usomashishini osakhasayo osuka e-Utah ogama linguTrevor Milton wehla ngendlela enye, ethatha uNikola owayengekaphawulwa njengophawu lokuqalisa kwakhe ukuqhuba iilori zombane, Imoto yeNikola .
Ngethemba lokuvula eSlovakia, eCroatia, eSerbia nakwininzi yeMpuma Yurophu ekuqaleni konyaka olandelayo. Okokugqibela, siza kwenza uNikola Tesla ukuba neqhayiya ngokuba neemoto zakhe kwilizwe lakhe lokuzalwa!

Ngelixa zombini ezi nkampani zivutha umkhondo kwisithuthi sombane, uNikola uvelisa umbane ovela kumthombo owahlukileyo kuneTesla. Ngokungafaniyo Iimoto zeTesla ezisebenza kwiibhetri ze-lithium-ion, uNikola ujonge ukunika amandla iilori zayo nge iiseli zepetroli , Esona sisombululo samandla acocekileyo esifanelekileyo, kodwa esingqineke sinzima ekuthengiseni abenzi bezithuthi.
Ukuqala kwethu, saqala njengombane weinjini kunye negesi yendalo yokufaka ilori. Nje ukuba itekhnoloji yeseli yezibaso ikude ngokwaneleyo, sagqiba kwelokuba sihambise iseli yamafutha endaweni yegesi yendalo, ukuze sibe yi-100% zero, uMilton, i-CEO ye-Nikola eneminyaka eyi-37, uxelele i-Braganca.
Iseli yamafutha ibophelela ukusabela kweekhemikhali kwihydrogen kunye neoksijini ukuvelisa amandla ngohlobo lombane ngelixa ushiya imveliso ecoceke ngokugqibeleleyo yamanzi aphathwayo. Kukwasebenza ngakumbi ngakumbi kuneebhetri ze-lithium-ion ngenxa yomlinganiselo ophezulu we-hydrogen wamandla ukuya kubunzima.
IHydrogen yeyona nto ininzi kwindalo yonke. Kodwa ingxaki kukuba kunqabile ukuba ibekhona iyodwa, ubuncinci eMhlabeni. Ukuze isetyenziswe njengamafutha, abenzi beemoto kufuneka bafumane i-hydrogen ngamanzi okusela, asebenzisa amandla, kwindawo yokuqala. Ukugcinwa kwehydrogen emsulwa nako kungabiza, yiyo loo nto iiseli zepetroli zihlala zithatha ingqumbo kubagxeki, kubandakanya noMusk ngokwakhe, obabizileyo iiseli eziziziyatha , ubudenge obuthatha ingqondo kwaye akunakwenzeka ukuba uphumelele.
Isitshixo kwi-hydrogen ayisiyiyo itekhnoloji kodwa imveliso ye-hydrogen, ucacisile uMilton. Kungenxa yoko le nto sahlasela uHMbinikwimodeli yethu yeshishini. Kungekudala siza kuba ngumvelisi wehydrogen omkhulu emhlabeni kwaye[izakusivumela] ukuba sehlise iindleko ngokulingana nedizili. Yayisisitshixo kwaye yiyo loo nto abantu abaninzi bengakholelwa ukuba iiseli zepetroli zingaze zisebenze-inethiwekhi yayingazange ibonwe de kufike uNikola.

Ephendula kumathandabuzo avela kuMusk nakwabanye abangakholwayo yi-hydrogen, u-Milton uthe, ndicinga ukuba uninzi lweetekhnoloji zithatha iminyaka eli-10 okanye nangaphezulu ukuba 'zivelise.' Ngelixa umbane ngoku ungowona uphambili, kusekho imiba ekufuneka yenziwe. Kuyafana nakwiiseli zepetroli. Sele besendleleni kwaye bephuculwa.
UNikola ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ukhuphe iinguqulelo ezintathu zeelori zombane-uNikola One, uNikola Two kunye noNikola Tre- eziza kukhuphisana neSemi yeSemi. Inkampani yaxabisa i-3 yezigidigidi zeedola emva komjikelo wayo wokugqibela wokunyusa ingxowa mali ekhokelwa ngumenzi wezithuthi onzima waseYurophu u-CNH Industrial, esenza uMilton, ongumnini we-40% yenkampani, abe ngusozigidigidi ephepheni.
U-Milton utsibe-waqala uNikola ngemali yakhe evela kwintengiso yamashishini angaphambili kwaye wafumana amanqaku akhe amakhulu okuqala ngaphandle kwemali evela kumenzi wesinyithi iWorthington Industries, eyafumana amandla akhe okuqala amandla ahlaziyekayo, Iinkqubo zedybrid.
Abantu balandela abo banokholo lokwenyani lwento abayakhayo. Kuya kufuneka ubenenqanaba lokuzithemba ngawe elinika intuthuzelo kwabo batyala imali, utshilo ngenkqubo yokuqokelela imali. Ndithe ndakuba nenkampani esekwe kumawaka ezigidi zeerandi [iWorthington Industries] ndenza utyalo-mali kum, ndaye ndazisebenzisa njengombane nabanye abatyali-mali… Abanye balandela xa iWorthington ityale imali… Yasuka apho. Kwakubuhlungu, kodwa siyenzile.
Xa ebuzwa ukuba angayichaza na inkampani uTesla ukuba ibingathathwanga nguMusk kuqala, uMilton wathi, Ngekhe sayibiza ngokuba yiNikola. Njengabantu abaninzi, uNikola Tesla waye ligorha lam xa kufikwa kufakelo lombane. Ndiyathemba ukuba bobabini uTesla noNikola baphumelele- sisiphumo esihle kanjani kuNikola Tesla!
