Is there a purpose other than a light show or bragging rights?

Some might not know the history behind the Tesla/Edison AC/DC feud.  Tesla, backed by George Westinghouse, back the AC system, which really was the better system compared to Edison's DC electrical system.  AC can be transmitted long distances with very little loss, while DC had huge transmission losses and would have required generating stations in almost every neighborhood, AC was far more practical.  Edison backed the DC system, and to demonstrate how dangerous AC was, electrocuted an elephant, but Tesla/Westinghouse won in the end, so we still have the AC distribution system pioneered by Tesla.

Yup, and interestingly enough Tesla started out as Edison's apprentice. Hmm, I wonder why they split?

a History Channel show said Edison promised a small fortune to Tesla if he could come up with a electric motor,



]








Tesla did (same AC motor used today), Edison said whoops! wacky American humor, now F off little Serb.








like most early 20th century mavens, Edison probably wasn't filled with the milk of human kindness.







Dan would know, i think they were neighbors.
