This week on Christories, we're talking about the WAR OF CURRENTS!! IT'S NIKOLA TESLA vs THOMAS EDISON! These two scientist are going head to head. But who is going to win?! Edison supported direct current (DC) for sending electricity, while Tesla backed alternating current (AC).

Edison believed DC was safer and tried to show that AC was dangerous by shocking animals in public demonstrations. Tesla, working with George Westinghouse, promoted AC because it could send electricity over long distances more efficiently. In the end, AC's ability to transmit power over greater distances won, thanks to Tesla's innovations. This war helped shape how we use electricity today, with AC becoming the standard for powering homes and businesses? What do you think about Thomas Edison playing dirty?! That poor elephant!!
