Love, love, love your videos! One comment relevant to the DC vs. AC battle; this wasn't just a conflict of physics, but of business models. Edison's empire was predicated on selling the components necessary for generating electricity at small, local scales; he envisioned getting rich by selling thousands of equipment units. Westinghouse foresaw something else: centralized electrical generation that would be produced and distributed at large scales; he would get rich by selling the electricity. I don't really believe that Edison believed that one kind of current was more dangerous than the other, but he did understand that large-scale AC transmission would tank his business.

Hello Kathy thanks so much for all this information I never took physics when I went to high school in the 60s. I wasn't able to get to that point pass geometry since I have a learning disability.. I got to say learn so much from your video.. we'll have to play it a few times to learn something more with each view.. volume explaining all this history my mind wanders of how people related with each other with these new inventions it's fascinating the early years of electricity.... I can't believe Kathy you only have less than 9,000 viewers it should be mandatory for everybody to understand the history of electricit and you're perfect person to help us to absorb all fantastic history
I learned a lot and your connections to all the other scientists before Edison and Tesla is fantastic.. you strung historical information systematically like beads one after the other which was easy to understand the connections starting from Feherty up till before the 1900s with the current Wars. which was why I started looking for reviews of this movie which isn't getting much media coverage what do you think ? made very interesting.. repeat myself but I like when you went back to these experiments. When you started with Feherty around 1850 creating electromagnetic waves you think coils and magnets. sorry my battery on my smartphone is going on down to 4% I'm going to lose power pretty soon but. So I'll keep viewing the other videos I'm interested in your views on Nikolai Tesla and he's other experiments besides alternating generators.. I'll keep listening and turning on other friends who are interested in this history you're fantastic thank you so much

First I enjoyed the presentation. Second the war has not ended: Examples of DC electronics include:
Cell phones.
The LilyPad-based D&D Dice Gauntlet.
Flat-screen TVs (AC goes into the TV, which is converted to DC)
Flashlights.
Hybrid and electric vehicles. So it is still going on, but using the strengths of each type of current.

Excellent video! A Toastmasters-Quailty Speech! No stutters, no, ums, uhs, no "like, you know". Very refreshing Outstanding!!
