The AC Feud
By: Randy Shivlabak
The Debate
All three of these men Thomas Edison (on the left), Nikola Tesla (middle), George Westinghouse (on the right) each have been the right as the creator of AC. Some might say Edison or Westinghouse or Tesla is the creator of AC. But who is the rightful creator?
Thomas
- The creator of DC and the DC Generator.
- Hired Tesla to improve the DC Generator.
- Didn't agree with Tesla's invention of AC.
Nikola
- While trying to improve Edison's DC Generator Tesla came the conclusion that AC was more practical and efficient,
- After his idea was dismissed by Edison, Tesla opened up his own company called Tesla Electric Light & Manufacturing.George
- A supporter of Tesla's idea of AC
- Bought some of Tesla's patents
- Started installing his own AC Generators around the country
The Rightful Creator
The creator of AC is Nikola Tesla due to the fact Thomas Edison didnt like the idea of AC and George Westinghouse only bought patents and installed generators.
