Why is the great inventor Nikola Tesla not credited with making electric lighting possible and instead people name Edison or Ben Franklin with his kite?
This is more of a political/social issue than one of science. Though no one can speak for the general public to say why these individuals are not familiar with Tesla, one obvious reason for this phenomenon is that public schools teach about Franklin and Edison, but they make no mention of Tesla.
The reason may be Tesla's bad business sense. Tesla got little money or recognition for his many patents, and this may have also contributed to Edison's domination of the market in spite of his inferior technology. As in many historical cases, fame has come from commercial promotion of an individual.

What are the pros and cons of Electric and ventless Fireplaces?
Electric Fireplaces Pros: 1) No need to go out and buy those fire logs or gel fuel 2) No more cleaning, wiping, and wasting time 3) No more worrying about fire hazard 4) Come home after work, click a button; looks like a real fire, heats, and crates the sound. I also have an option of turning any of these on or off. Cons: Flame isn't as real as gel fireplaces. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Gel Fireplaces Pros: 1) The flame is very real, as real as it gets 2) provides little more heat than electric fireplaces 3) Less expensive than electric fireplace Cons: 1) Need to purchase gel fuel (which make it more expensive to own, in the long run) 2) need to deal with lighting, putting it out, and sealing the can after each use. 3) Not as attractive as the electric. ======================================== Well I think the electric fireplace beat the gel.
