18 lis 2014 · Starting in the late 1880s, Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were embroiled in a battle now known as the War of the Currents. Edison developed direct current -- current that runs continually in a single direction, like in a battery or a fuel cell. During the early years of electricity, direct current (shorthanded as DC) was the standard in the U.S.
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...
Ottó Bláthy also invented the first AC electricity meter. [23] [24] [25] [26] The AC power system was developed and adopted rapidly after 1886 due to its ability to distribute electricity efficiently over long distances, overcoming the limitations of the direct current system.
9 lis 2009 · Serbian-American engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) made dozens of breakthroughs in the production, transmission and application of electric power. He invented the first...
A young immigrant from Yugoslavia stirred the world of electrical engineering when, in 1888, he presented a paper, “A New System of Alternate Current Motors and Transformers,” before the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (N.Y.).
Before the Alternating Current Electrical Supply (AC for short) was invented its predecessor the Direct Current Electrical Supply (DC for short) was used. The DC current was used as a power supply for motors and incandescent lamps during the early years of the electrical distribution.
