Welcome to the Tesla ~ Edison Feud Find!
Now it’s time to put your thinking cap on and take you back in time to the great feud between Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison and the War of the Currents!
To solve this puzzle you will need to know and use some of the great inventions that were created by both of these men.
Tesla ~ If you couldn’t imagine life without your TV remote, thank Nikola Tesla for making it possible. Tesla invented, predicted or contributed to development of hundreds of technologies that play big parts in our daily lives -- like the remote control, neon and fluorescent lights, wireless transmission, computers, smartphones, laser beams, x-rays, robotics and, of course, alternating current, the basis of our present-day electrical system. Tesla coils are a type of electrical circuit used to generate low-current, high-voltage electricity. Today, they’re widely used in radios, televisions and other electronics, and can be used for wireless transmission. A coil at Tesla’s experimental station in Colorado Springs, Colorado, created 30-foot sparks that could be seen from 10 miles away.
Edison ~ Edison left a profound impact on the nation’s energy sector. Beyond inventing a light bulb that was both practical and inexpensive, he devised a whole system of electric lighting -- including electricity generators, wires to get electricity from the power station to homes and light fixtures (lamps, sockets and switches). Edison was also known for wanting to use DC theory to power up homes and businesses; not to mention many inventions like the phonograph, movie camera and the quadruplex telegraph.
