Tesla and Edison went to history as inventors yet both had a different perseption in their work. Today's electricity is based in the invention of Nikola Tesla because alternate current is better than direct current. Edison got the patent on direct current engine wchich he could not make it work properly. Tesla fixed that when he was working for him. That is the last thing he did for him.
