30 sty 2015 · In the late 19th century, three brilliant inventors, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, battled over which electricity system—direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC ...
The war of the currents was a series of events surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems in the late 1880s and early 1890s. It grew out of two lighting systems developed in the late 1870s and early 1880s; arc lamp street lighting running on high-voltage alternating current (AC), and large-scale low-voltage ...

25 mar 2024 · The War of the Currents was a historic feud in the late 19th century between inventors Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla. The crux of the battle revolved around the most efficient method to distribute electricity—Edison's direct current (DC) versus Tesla's alternating current (AC).
10 paź 2019 · Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison are two of the greatest inventors in history. They each battled to dominate with their electricity transmission systems. This is the story of the war between alternating current and direct current.
The “War of the Currents” as it was called was between Thomas Edison, who backed direct current or DC, and Nikola Tesla, who was promoting something different – alternating current or AC. Without getting too far into the weeds, the main difference between the two is the way the electrons move.
