The Current War

The story reminding me is the famous "trend war" (the movie version of Benedict · camber batch has just been released). Thomas Alva Edison believes that DC is an ideal solution for the "electrified" world and will invest heavily. Tesla worked at Edison for several months, but he was convinced that he would use AC. I will not give a technical explanation. Let's say that Tesla and Edison's competitor, industrialist George Westinghouse won it. Today we use alternating current (AC), but convert it to continuous (DC) when you need to supply power to a digital device (or other battery powered device).

As the author of Thomas Edison and Michael Shannon, Benedict Cumberbatch plays the George Westinghouse "The Current War" is a grand story about the greatest inventors of the industrial era. Cruel competition between power systems will boost the new century. With the support of J. P. Morgan, Edison will show off the world by illuminating Manhattan. However, with the help of Nikola Tesla, Westinghouse encountered a fatal flaw in Edison's DC design. Westwind House and Tesla set fire on war, threatened everything and exposed to dangerous AC current. Written by playwright Michael Mitnick (the sex life of our parents), instructed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (a girl with me and Earl dying), the current war is Katherine Waterston, Nicholas Holt, Tom Holland, Matthew McFadden and Tapence Middleton.

The exchange of Nikola Tesla may have "won" the present war at the end of the 19th century, but the failing current DC current distribution positively supported by Thomas Edison survived. As a historian Thomas P. Hughes observed in an influential article on the development of a large-scale technical system, "the present war" ended neither a winner nor a conqueror, but according to the invention of the device two systems It is possible to connect with each other. "As the residual AC grid gets thicker in their surroundings, DC distribution has been performing assigned tasks for decades.
