If there was more justice in the world, as many people today would be familiar with the name of Nikola Tesla as they are with the name of his bitter rival, Thomas Edison. In the 1880s Tesla and Edison carried out the famous “War of the Currents”, as they each tried to establish their own versions of electric currents as the preeminent standard for widespread use. Edison may now be better known, but this doesn’t diminish Tesla’s incredible accomplishments in advancing modern technology."
