THE WAR OF CURRENTS Tesla vs Edison: THE WAR OF CURRENTS In the "War of Currents" era (sometimes "War of the Currents" or "Battle of Currents") in the late 1880s‚ George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison’s promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. Thomas Edison American inventor andbusinessman was known as "The Wizard of Menlo Park" and pushed

Innovation vs Entrepreneurship Navin Kumar Prasannam – 24C “Necessity is the mother of invention” is an English proverb meaning that difficulty or need for ease bolsters inventions aimed at killing those difficulties. This is where an innovator steps in and ensures‚ with all his creativity‚ that there is a product designed to satisfy the necessity. But who ensures the success of the product in terms of its utilization or market share‚ when compared to its rivals? According to the Oxford Dictionary

WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER ABSTRACT The main objective of this project is to develop a device for wireless power transfer. The concept of wireless power transfer was realized by Nikolas tesla. Wireless power transfer can make a remarkable change in the field of the electrical engineering which eliminates the use conventional copper cables and current carrying wires. Based on this concept‚ the project is developed to transfer power within a small range. This project can be used for charging

commercial power plant‚ Edison was only able to distribute electricity to one square mile of Manhattan and so it was found that using direct current (DC) was not an ideal way to get electricity distributed across long distances. Around that same time‚ Nikola Tesla was diligently trying to master the alternate current (AC) motors and generators even though he was discouraged from doing so. After proving his invention to be a practical solution for this problem‚ George Westinghouse purchased Tesla’s patents
