No.... I think it's just a case of folks not reading the entire thread. I'll hammer at this "green arrow" thing for the next couple of weeks and see where I get.lol.... Hey! Another worthwhile goal I can look forward to reaching!

Ok you've got me. What are you talking about this with this "green arrow" thing? Please explain.

I went back thru the posts and found out what Lye was talking about. I see that Lye neglected to put the little red * next to that particular post designating it as one of vital importance to be read by everyone an indeliably ingrained into your mindset never to be forgotten when posting your selection for the POTW. It'll never happen again Hon. Now will someone please tell me how I can get that green arrow.

Edison

Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark....

That's why he hired Nikola Tesla. Too bad he was too haughty to listen when Tesla told him AC was better than DC.

That's why he hired Nikola Tesla. Too bad he was too haughty to listen when Tesla told him AC was better than DC.

Actually, when you look at the history of the situation, Tesla was only correct at that time because power generation facilities needed to be large for the entire public. If you look at things nowdays, the energy situation would be better if we had smaller plants, with smaller transmission distances, and a decentralized industry. The main issue with DC was the transmission over distance. AC is better over distance. Look at the brownout situation and the current threats to our electricity infrastructure. It will be more costly to maintain it, than it would have been if was decentralized and regionalized (by townships, neighborhoods, zip codes, whathaveyou). DC would be better for this, but the vision at the time of Tesla was big, gov't supplied power to the people sort of idea. It was that philosophy then, which will hurt us in the future.

I love that quote, however, "Thomas Edison was afraid of the dark" I wonder if Otis was afraid of stairs, and Bill Gates afraid of paper cuts

Ac/dc

Don't forget that voltage cannot be regulated in a DC system the way it can be done easily with AC by the use of transformers—a major advantage.
