Pioneers of Electricity, a Tribute

[EdisonExploratorium]

The guys in the video all worked for GE except Henry, that is the theme. This video is not about Westinghouse, Siemens, Philips, Bell Labs or RCA............. IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

It's a fine tribute; but I am still surprised that neither Armstrong, nor Farnsworth were mentioned. If nothing else: RCA benefited greatly from Farnsworth; and Armstrong worked for RCA directly. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong; still I didn't think Marconi worked for anybody but himself.

@boilermaker52 The history of electricity is more than just Edison and Tesla. AC power was made possible by Dobrovolsky, C.S. Bradley (another ex Edison employee), Elihu Thomson, Dr. Louis Bell, The three phase AC motor was invented by Galileo Ferraris and patented by Tesla months later. The AC transformer was first developed by Zippernowsky, Blathy, Deri, Gibbs, and Gaulard... We'll have a new webpage up on this subject soon.I could go on with the MANY great people who made AC power possible
