"By the end of 1887 Westinghouse had 68 alternating current power stations to Edison's 121 DC-based stations. " Edison fought hard to discredit the use of AC, even electrocuted an Elephant to prove it unsafe and to promote his DC. Nicolas Telsa invented AC motors and generators.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_currents

Semi correct about a Blackman and the lightbulb. However Edison did not invent the bulb, it was a slow evolution with many failures. Some actually attribute the light bulb to ancient times along with the DC batteries.

"Latimer who was black improved upon Edison's original design. Latimer created a light bulb with a more durable filament made of carbon. He sold the patent to the US Electric Co. in 1881, and a year later patented a process for efficiently manufacturing the carbon filament. He even wrote a book in 1890 on electric lighting, the first of its kind. " Edison Labs research lightbulb improvements but did not actually invent the bulb.

Latimer was an inventor known for working closely with Alexander Graham Bell, who invented the telephone (though some claim that invention is actually Latimer's)."

As I said, the light bulb evolved and was probably invented or observed many times going back to antiquity.
"In 1802, Humphry Davy invented the first electric light. He experimented with electricity and invented an electric battery. When he connected wires to his battery and a piece of carbon, the carbon glowed, producing light. His invention was known as the Electric Arc lamp. And while it produced light, it didn’t produce it for long and was much too bright for practical use."

Anyway, not Edison:

Also see the Bagdad Battery:

Telsa [Elon Musk] did not invent the electric car did he, No they have come and gone, but probably here to stay.

Wow! Your hatred of Trump is so great that you must bring it into every conversation even when the conversation is not about Trump? I feel sorry for you that you are consumed by Trump, day and night. How is it going to be for you when Trump wins in November?

That's not true. The real reason is that Edison realized that AC could be t***smitted hundreds of miles; whereas his DC system would need a generating station every couple of city blocks.


Additionally, the AC system was more efficiently generated at the time.

You don't believe the liberal press would report this do you? And you didn't read the article that added more to the headline did you? Typical leftwinger knee jerk.

The reality is it mentioned Biden who is a candidate vs Trump. So it indeed is a Trump/Biden issue. I do not h**e Trump, rather, I find him to be a threat to the continuance of our Republic and the world. My concern is love and concern for my country and the world not h**e for Trump. Trump is a psychopath as any common open-minded person can see. Yes, psychopaths "don’t exist in the mental health official handbook, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. In fact, both conditions are actually clinically perceived as an antisocial personality disorder (ASPD)."
https://www.activebeat.com/your-health/psychopath-vs-sociopath-whats-the-difference/

Common signs of a psychopath which include, “socially irresponsible behavior, disregarding or violating the rights of others, inability to distinguish between right and wrong, difficulty with showing remorse or empathy, tendency to lie often, manipulating and hurting others, recurring problems with the law,” as well as a general disregard for safety and responsibility."

Many of the Trumpite UHH people may take a dim view of Biden but the one big issue I would illuminate is that Trump's USA response to C***D-2 vs New Zeland response described in 2006 by the Bush Taskforce on influenza has resulted in 200,000 deaths vs 2000 [adjusted for population] if Trump had not relied on a belief in Magic. Now Trump's team is suggesting Herd Immunity, not a good idea. Please note the conclusions of a technical article:
" natural immunization of global populations with the v***s over time. However, the consequences of the latter are serious and far-reaching—a large fraction of the human population would need to become infected with the v***s, and millions would succumb to it. Thus, in the absence of a v******tion program, establishing herd immunity should not be the ultimate goal. Instead, an emphasis should be placed on policies that protect the most vulnerable groups in the hopes that herd immunity will eventually be achieved as a byproduct of such measures, although not the primary objective itself."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7236739/

"If the U.S. allowed the c****av***s to spread unchecked in an attempt to try to achieve so-called herd immunity, the “death toll would be enormous,” White House c****av***s advisor Dr. Anthony F***i warned on Thursday." Fauchi has been replaced by a radiologist who has no experience in communicable diseases.
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/13/the-death-toll-would-be-enormous-f***i-says-of-herd-immunity-to-c****av***s-in-the-us.html

The big issue is not who invented the light bulb, that is a diversion from the real issue which is C****-** deaths. The light bulb stretch has k**led no one, Trump's belief in no action magic has k**led a vast number, probably over 200,000 by the end of 2020; Psychopathology at its worse.

Certainly, and we, you and I, Fotoartist should get credit for pandering to charm the ladies... they know it is pandering but love it... as do Biden's audience of tinted skin. Trump is harsh and defensive when rebutting, being called out on one of his lies... he should learn to not deny and should smooth his defense. perhaps a "I misspoke," rather than I never said that as the videotape was playing with him saying what he is denying.

Once again princess you are a liar and it shows with every post you submit.

I have never said nor implied I did not like women or that I thought poorly of women. Where you get that I am not sure, probably just pulled it out of your butt as per your usual bulls**t stories.

What and who I think poorly of is men who are effeminate and can't make up their minds or are poor communicators exactly like you. Do not take this to mean I am against gay men either. I have a lot of gay friends who have strong personalities and are not afraid to carry on a decent conversation even though we are on different sides of the political aisle. I have a couple of lesbian friends as well who are also on the other side of the aisle. Both of them would wipe the floor with you in the area of speaking/writing legibly without waffling on their opinion as you do.

There is a reason I started calling you, waffle boy. It is because you never can come up with a solid statement but are always waffling in your writing such as, I may not be a nice person for saying this but on the other hand I feel you are not behaving properly so me being not a nice person may not be the issue here as much as you not being a nice person but on the other hand....No those were not your exact words. I don't have time to search out your past submissions. But most readers will know exactly what I am talking about and will agree.

THAT is what I am talking about little girl. It is the way you act, submit posts, your points of view that you are never quite able to get across in a strong manner but more in a pussified manner.

Now is there anything else I can help you with today princess?

Dennis has driven two nails in the wrists and is on his way to finishing the crucifixion... communicated well and no Waffeling in his statements. Is it justified, sounds like it is, regardless, well communicated.

Latimer beat Edison by 2 years, so Biden was not telling a Trumper.
Latimer received a patent on January 17, 1882 for the "Process of Manufacturing Carbons", an improved method for the production of lightbulb carbon filaments.

The Edison Electric Light Company in New York City hired Latimer in 1884,
as a draftsman and an expert witness in patent litigation on electric lights. While at Edison, Latimer wrote the first book on electric lighting, Incandescent Electric Lighting (1890) and supervised the installation of public electric lights throughout New York, Philadelphia, Montreal, and London. When that company was combined in 1892 with the Thomson-Houston Electric Company to form General Electric, he continued to work in the legal department. In 1911, he became a patent consultant to law firms.

Electric lighting is a sorted history... Edison did not invent the light bulb, he had the money to dev**e a staff of technicians a long hard effort to make it commercial.
https://www.livescience.com/43424-who-invented-the-light-bulb.html

Biden was not making a Trump like lie. Biden pointing out that a black-man was one of the keys to modern incandescent lighting so much so that Edison hired him based on Latimer's patented work.

Perhaps you are tense? Tense challenged? Your quote here: Latimer received a patent on January 17, 1882 for the "Process of Manufacturing Carbons", an improved method for the production of lightbulb carbon filaments. How can he be applying for his first patent to IMPROVE something you claim he invented? Would this abject genius not patent the bulb before patenting the improvement?

Very much appreciated my BFF. But no nails in my wrists. That should be reserved for those on Jesus' level. I will never reach that level. Of course you won't agree but memes that use God or Jesus to put down someone else just isn't in good taste. But of course what does that matter to the Left, right?

Edison stole the work of Tesla and Steinmetz. Neither of whom, btw, was black.

Now gosh darn it you are c***ting once again by bringing facts and common sense into an argument with a Liberal. You know they can't handle such fighting sk**ls and prowess. They get dumbfounded to say the least.

From what I have read recently Edison did invent the incandescent bulb along with other competitors back then. Afterward Latimer perfected the carbon filament that was much longer lasting than the flimsy filament used by Edison. So Latimer does deserve much credit for his assistance but he did not invent the incandescent light bulb as the Left says. As you point out he improved the incandescent bulb.
