I was raised in NJ, Edison's home state.* We were pumped with "Edison is Awesome" stuff as well as "Tesla is Awesome" stuff.* If you think about it, had the world gone to DC instead of AC, there'd be no need for transformers.* The only reason we need transformers is because almost almost EVERYTHING ACTUALLY RUNS on DC instead of AC. Anyway, I just wanted to set the record straight regarding Tesla.* I don't buy the Edison=Evil propaganda because he gave a lot of inventors jobs and money and had the marketing machine to get lots of ideas out there that would've been lost in people's home garages instead. I feel bad that Tesla didn't get his wireless electricity though.* That was his big dream. Plus, no DC, no batteries.* No batteries, no wireless anything.* We need both.
