The Big Misconception About Electricity

This vid goes quite a ways down the road to explaining why:

1) Power cords make a not so subtle difference.

2) Cable elevators should not be looked at askance.

How does that happen? Sockpuppets. It's what some users do when they get banned from the group - they simply return under new usernames. Remember attdavid, davidcan, daviddid, audio2design, and on and on and on. cindyment 339 posts 12-10-2021 10:24pm Feel pity for the people that use every post to insult, bully, and lecture everyone.

I was impressed with him so much that I continued to read up on him over the years. It gave me great insight into showmen like Edison and the avarice of George Westinghouse. Our entire global electrical power supply system is due to Tesla. Hardly the work of a tinkerer.

That is not research at that point. Now, our entire global electrical power system is NOT due to Tesla. AC power usage predates Tesla. Polyphase AC predates Tesla Transformers predate Tesla (the use of metal cores, not air, was a Westinghouse pre-Tesla thing) AC synchronous motor using capacitor phase-shift for single phase, and polyphase motor is Tesla, and really ushered in the 2nd phase of the industrial revolution. There were other ideas on the board that would have come to fruition, but he came up with the first practical implementation. Ditto on the generators. Most of the ideas already existed, he was the first with practical implementations. Our global electrical power system is most definitely not due to Tesla, he did speed up implementation.
