Edison was Direct Current and Tesla was Alternating Current. Direct Current is not efficient over one mile but Alternating Current is efficient over thousands of miles. Tesla died broke and Edison died a rich man but we use Tesla technology today.
Ben Franklin had a new barn built. Ben Franklin was a tall man and bumped his head in his new barn. The builder of the barn told Old Ben to lower your head, Ben said to raise the barn so I don't bump my head!
He invented the lightning rod, Bifocals and the Franklin stove, which is the type of stove that we use today... except obviously ours is space age by comparison and runs on technologies invented by Westinghouse and Edison in the war of currents, and Westinghouse prevailed.
