This was the generator that ended the "War of Currents", the 3 phase AC generator designed by Dobrovolsky for the Frankfurt Electrotechnical Exposition transmitted power 109 miles, the longest distance seen until then. This showed the world the viability of polyphase AC power. DC power had never achieved such distance or efficiency and after ten years of the war of currents, AC achieved victory. Mikhail Dolivo-Dobrovsky was the inventor of 3 phase AC power which is our main system of power today.
