Tesla was a genius for his realization of the efficiency of high voltage
A.C. transmission. Through the use of A.C. can voltage be stepped up or down
easily by the use of transformers.
(Of course, with today's electronics, though commutation is necessary of
course...D.C. can be fairly easily
converted too)
*However* there are a lot of fallacies about Tesla's genius...specifically
concerning the transmission of
power through space.
If you look up the inverse square law
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu...orces/isq.html
you will see that the idea is a practical impossibility. If there was any
merit to it...someone would be making money from it right now.
As far as Marconi is concerned...he deserves to be credited with radio
....because he had the foresight
to know that the waves that Tesla discovered...could be used for
communication.
Edison was a genius too. He worked so hard that he has often been though of
as one who merely
blundered into his inventions because he just tried everything
possible...but he knew exactly what he was doing. He may have missed a few
things and his foresights were not always right...
but his major inventions far outweigh any minor omissions.
