Journal nightcats's Journal: Happy Birthday Nik Tesla
Time to take a moment to honor the 153rd birthday of that guy who won the techno-battle against Edison but lost the marketing war, Nikola Tesla. Charles Arthur of The Guardian has a feature piece on Tesla:
...it's thanks to Tesla, not Edison, that we have electricity coming out of plugs, and that we even have power stations able to generate serious amounts of energy. He won "the war of the currents" with Edison, who was convinced that direct current (DC) - the sort that comes out of an ordinary battery - was the way forward for power generation and distribution.
