Edison's direct current was the system used in the late 1800's. This system brought problems like electrocutions and house fires. Tesla was offered 50,000 dollars to get this system working properly and as a matter of fact, it was his first job when he came to the United States. Edison got the work done and refused to pay so tesla quit and started his own company. Tesla beat Edison on lighting the whole world with his alternating current system.
