He bought the patents for the technology to generate and transmit the AC (Alternating Current) power that we all use in our homes and businesses from the inventor Nikola Tesla. Research him more to get the full story. Greatest inventor of all time.
There is no definitive record of George Westinghouse's IQ as IQ testing was not prevalent during his lifetime. Westinghouse's intelligence and success can be seen through his numerous inventions and business achievements in the field of engineering and industry.

Edison had his electric incandescent light, but the greatest problem Edison faced with electricity was its distribution. Edison was a proponent of DC electricity. However, distributing DC electricity to the masses was expensive and, ultimately, proved impractical. George Westinghouse, along with one of the smartest people who ever lived (IMO), Nikola Tesla, proved that AC electricity was much more economically distributed. Tesla, at one time, worked for Edison but Edison found his AC ideas 'impractical.' Tesla thus went to work for George Westinghouse who, earlier in 1869, invented the airbrake for trains. This battle between Edison's DC electricity and Westinghouse's AC electricity culminated in 'The Battle of the Currents' in which George Westinghouse and his AC prevailed and why we use AC in the US to this day..
Tesla with Westinghouse made the first hydro plant in the Niagara. The water moved the turbines and the AC motors delivered the electricity.

Thomas Edison's problem was that few homes and businesses could get electricity. He solved this problem by building a power plant that began supplying electricity to dozen of New York City buildings in September 1882.
The Westinghouse Electric Corporation was an American company founded in 1886 that specialized in electrical equipment. Their founder, George Westinghouse, was known for his contributions to the development of alternating current (AC) electricity systems. Westinghouse was a major player in the early days of the electrical industry and produced a wide range of products, including turbines, generators, and household appliances.
