Have you heard about Benjamin Franklin? He is the one that discovered electricity. He is one very important person. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn’t be warm in the winter and we wouldn’t be cooled in the summer. He also invented the lightning bolt, bifocal eyeglasses, and the armonica.…
Westinghouse & Edison Thomas Edison (1847 - 1931) is renowned for his invention of the electric light, motor and numerous other products. All these products ran on DC (direct current) power. His company became exceedingly wealthy, selling 200,000 lights in the first 3 years of operation, which resulted in the increase of electric power generation and distribution. George Westinghouse (1846 - 1914), unlike Edison, had less experience in the electric power industry. Nevertheless, the American engineer, developed a different system for generation and distribution involving alternating current (AC).…
Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion picture camera can easily be indentified as one of the greatest inventors of all time. In his era, Edison was considered brilliant above all standards and everything he seemed to do was held in the highest regard as if made of gold. Yet, even the most ingenious minds always seem to be accompanied by a touch of madness. There was indeed a side to Edison that only the most unfortunate would see, a side that was never meant for the light.…
In addition, the earliest demonstration fluorescent lighting was his accomplishment. All of this paved the way to the current stage of electricity that is currently being used by people all across the globe. His electricity generating turbine design was used in the first hydroelectric dam that generated enough power to light a whole…

Fortuitously in 1887, Tesla’s alternating current system captivated George Westinghouse, who was pursuing long-distance energy to supply the nation with, purchased Tesla’s patents, provided stocks in Westinghouse’s company and additionally manufactured a lab for him. As the rivalry between Edison and Westinghouse emerged, Tesla decided to continue his work and patent a variety of inventions. The most famous invention yet was named the “Tesla Coil”, which is a platform for wireless technology and is currently used in radio engineering. In brief, Nikola Tesla had a significant influence in the field of alternating currents, which at some extent innovated the United States and the world.…
The new found technology, was utilized by those around the world and the alternating current became far more favorable compared to Edison’s direct current system. Tesla also invented dynamos, which are similar to batteries, induction motors, radar technology, X-ray…
America's gift to my generation is technology one would say that because if we didn't we have the technology,we wouldn't be to the things we do today. Like watch tv, study the stars,find cures for diseases,we wouldn't have light in our houses,lots more. Like parents always say be thankful for things you have because they didn't have stuff when they were our age. Thanks to a lot people we can do stuff we are doing right now and we owe them a big thanks. So owe a big thanks to Benjamin Franklin for discovering electricity because of him people started to figure out ways to use electricity for powers things like light bulbs and lots more.…
Edison continues to bring hope to people today. His invention lead to the modern world. Without his creation of electricity people would probably not have the internet (Nguyen). Thomas Edison changed the world forever. Where would people be without…
Nikola Tesla was a powerful scientific mind of the 19th century, specifically, “one of the most outstanding pioneers in the electric power field and in the development of radio” (“Tesla, Nikola”). Tesla began his life as a young Croatian boy, detached from the world, who dreamt of inventing. He later came to America in pursuit of his own American Dream, and in the process paved the road for modern electricity and radio communication. (“Nikola Tesla”). Tesla’s genius ideas are credited to many of the amenities that the modern world takes for granted (Goldman).…
He made many inventions in his time, most of which we modified off his designs and still use today. Franklin 's lightning rod may be one of his greatest achievements he ever created. “Since the time he invented it, it has saved societies all over the world great amounts of time and money by protecting buildings from damage. It also, of course, saved countless lives.” (“Famous Scientist” 6).…
Nikola Tesla The inventor Nikola Tesla lived from July 10, 1856 to January 7, 1943, he was a well-known engineer who designed the alternating-current (AC) electric system. He was born in what is now Croatia; he came to the United States in 1884 and worked for Thomas Edison for a while before they both went their separate ways. Tesla sold several patent rights to George Westinghouse; one of those was his AC machinery. During Tesla’s career he discovered, designed and developed ideas for a number of inventions that ended up being patented by other inventor’s.…
