Tesla vs Edison: The Rivalry of the Ages

Tesla was a visionary inventor and liked working by himself on futuristic technologies and possibilities, such as wireless electricity, renewable energy, and was instrumental in laying out the modern AC distribution system. Whereas Edison was the pragmatic tinkerer, working at improving stuff. Known for his meticulous attention to detail and practical-mindedness, Edison would hire Tesla to work for his Edison Machine Works, and the war of currents would ensue. Tesla, backed by George Westinghouse, showcased the superiority of the AC system at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 by illuminating the fairgrounds with his AC-powered system, and sealed the deal.
