use this technology. But all of his success ended with one man. Nikola Tesla. This man worked for another who used DC (Direct Current) electricity. Tesla had the idea of AC (Alternating Current) electricity. He was fired and went to share his idea with Edison, the father of electricity. Edison thought AC was too dangerous and kicked Tesla out as well. Tesla was on his own until he decided to show off his new discovery.
Tesla went to get his idea patented with J.P. Morgan during the Monopoly. Morgan was a major investor and new to the family business, and when he decided to help Tesla, his father was disappointed in the decision. He proved his father wrong by becoming one of the three wealthiest men, after his father had passed away. One of the other wealthiest men was George Westinghouse. Westinghouse was the man who funded Edison which provided him money.
The third man in the Monopoly was John D. Rockefeller. He owned the oil company and battled the other men to be the wealthiest. When one of the men died, he inherited the money making him the richest man in history. Besides that, Morgan funded Tesla’s experiments to help AC become the major used electrical current.
Tesla decided to go on stage with his new invention. He had made a coil that would run his AC electricity through his body. Two were put on stage so that one would conduct through him to the other one. As the AC current jumped from the coil to his body, everyone trusted Tesla. Those coils that he had made were named after him as the Tesla Coils.
This enraged Edison for his DC was going to be put out of business. Tesla was winning the AC/DC battle, but Edison had more tricks. He first killed many rats using AC to try and give his point. But while he was sitting down, he thought of a major way to attack AC. He has thought of the death sentence using the cruel attack of electricity. Westinghouse received rights to AC from Tesla and Edison gave his idea to Auburn Prison.
The first man to be executed was William Kemmler. The chair used AC to show the dangers of the current. After a brutal shock, they stopped. Kemmler looked to be dead, but when he rose his head, they shocked him a second time. His body was fried and everyone heard about this gruesome murder. No one really won the battle, but AC was always preferred for it is easy and cheap.
During the Monopoly, a man at an oil company had an idea. Henry Ford wanted to give a use to the excess of oil, later called gasoline. He made the combustion engine which ignited the gasoline and rotated the wheels. This engine led to the design of the Ford car. This invention helped man to travel far fast. It was made differently but the car has benefitted our lives for years.
All of this led up to the invention of the phone. The phone was made by using the vibrations from speaking and transmitting it through an electrical line. This invention let us connect to others around the world. It was fast and could go far, so it would be the most used piece of tech. Today, the phone is considered the most useful piece of technology in the world, with millions of people owning several variations of this modern marvel.
Technology has come a long way since the days of throwing rocks, and hopefully it will continue to progress beyond our wildest dreams.
