Geocache Description:



 



George Westinghouse, Jr (1846-1914) var en amerikansk ingenjör och företagare, känd för att under strömkriget ha marknadsfört växelström tillsammans med Nikola Tesla (1856-1943). Strömkriget var den konkurrens som rådde mellan elkraftsystemen för växelström och likström under 1880-talet i USA. Likströmmen marknadsfördes av Thomas Edison (1847-1931).



George Westinghouse, Jr (1846-1914) was an American entrepreneur and engineer who was a pioneer of the electrical industry. Westinghouse was one of Thomas Edison's main rivals in the early implementation of the American electricity system. Westinghouse's system, which used alternating current based on the extensive research by Nikola Tesla, ultimately prevailed over Edison's insistence on direct current.
