Скачать или смотреть Tesla vs. Edison: the Electric Revolution

Tesla and Edison, two titans who led the electric revolution, found themselves in a historical conflict. In the late 19th century, Tesla contributed to the development of alternating current (AC), shaping the modern power system, while Edison succeeded in direct current (DC) electricity, pioneering light bulbs and electric motors.

Tesla demonstrated the effectiveness of AC for long-distance transmission, whereas Edison advocated for DC, facing challenges such as significant power losses and distance limitations. Eventually, Tesla's AC system prevailed, forming the foundation of the modern electrical grid.

However, currently, some experts are reexamining Edison's claims. Particularly, his efforts in DC electricity are being emphasized, scrutinized from a modern perspective on long-distance transmission and power loss issues. Edison's technological achievements are gaining more attention than in his era, prompting a reconsideration of his influence on the contemporary energy industry.
