[quote:TutuWuwu 940739:MV8xMTEzNTg2XzE5MTMxNjkwXzFBNEQ1MUU5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1089283] mmm the old tec tesla derived stuf is mostly dc some call it direct current in the trade we call it deadly current it is trooly lethal if you doonot no wot ure duing I was under the impression that Tesla was responsible for making Edison's delivery of electric lights to the wealthy New Yorkers safe (dc had started many fires) by converting the system to ac, shortly after he arrived in America . Got this from Tesla's biography . Edison ripped him off by not paying him the promised $$ for this service. fwiw, may seem a little off-subject. but helps explain US political energies: It's the 21st century and we continue to have older, wealthy "Yankees" moving South who laugh as us because "We got our electric power set up first and made the South wait for electricity." Many areas in the Southern USA did not have power until after WWII. There remain a few homes around powered by a bare wire, wrapped around a ceramic spool which has been nailed to the wall.
