Telsa was in the Westinghouse camp, they were the believers in Alternating Current. Edison was determined that Direct Current was the way the technology would evolve, even though transmission wise it ran way to hot, and lost lots of energy even over modest differences. I read in a Tesla biography that Edison believed that their would be a power generating plant every few city blocks!!! matter of fact youtube has got a funky video of an animated cat named pinky that talks about Edison's electricution of cats and dogs and then ultimately an elephant named Topsy in 1903 in what appeared to be a propoganda campaign to show dangers of AC. the video has a bit of film of the elephant going down. and Thomas Edison's hatred of cats For more information visit: pinkyshow.org electricity electrocution execution light bulb cats youtube.com you'll find the video very interesting. Tesla was an amazing guy. John
