ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION
Mr. BoggioJanuary 2015
Edison - DC Current VS. Westinghouse -AC Current (Circa 1893) And Tesla Too – AC was Tesla’s Patent
Alternating Current Won (as a Power Distribution Method)
Please use switch on Wall to turn on lights

Tesla and Static Electricity
TESLA and the ELECTROSTATIC GENERATOR
Nickoli Tesla was a Cool Inventor – He owned the Patent for Alternating Current Technology
Lightning is an example of static electricity

How a Generator works
When the rotor is set in motion a current is induced and electric power is produced. The rotor is set in motion when the turbine Spins.
