Edison tried to prove that alternating current (AC) was dangerous by publicly electrocuting animals with AC currents. He held demonstrations where he electrocuted animals, such as cats and dogs, to show that AC current was more lethal than his preferred direct current (DC). This was part of his campaign to discredit AC and promote DC as the safer option for electrical distribution.
What else can I help you with?
Why did Thomas Edison do that?
Because Thomas Edison was one of the biggest dicks in history. I mean the dude electricuted cats and dogs and even an elephant to try and prove that Nikola Tesla's AC was worse than his DC (Which was wrong AC was sooo much better.) And Edison turned down Tesla's idea of radar (which was invented 17 years after teslas idea of it) when proposed to the US Navy because Edison hated Tesla. Man Edison sucked, I mean what a jerk right?
Why didn't Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla get along?
Tesla vs Edison is a traditional science battle but long since past. Edison had a primitive DC current as opposed to Tesla AC, which is the usual current now a days. both sides had different designs for light bulbs, Tesla being better. Tesla got his 15 minutes of fame at the world fair. they used AC & Tesla's light bulbs. Edison was rich but Tesla died in the red. also tesla was a inventor more of the thinking type but edison was a tinkering man.
What is the conflict between Nikola Tesla and Edison?
Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison were opponents in The Battle of the Currents, the rivalry between Tesla's alternating current (AC) system for electricity and Edison's direct current (DC) system for electricity. AC 'won' the battle, the current is far more effective. This means that all electricity used today travels by AC, not DC. All DC is used for anymore is batteries.
When did Nikola Tesla meet Thomas Edison?
Nikola Tesla was referred to Edison by a mutual friend. Tesla emigrated to New York and gave a recommendation letter to Edison who hired him to help develop DC power systems. Their partnership did not last long. Instead of working on DC power as Edison challenged him, Tesla chose to improve Faraday's AC power. Edison would not listen to Tesla's arguments for AC power, and Tesla quit. George Westinghouse then bought Tesla's AC patents, and directly challenged Edison in the current wars which Westinhouse eventually won. Ironically, many devices used today are DC (computers, cell phones, LED lights, etc.) as Edison predicted, and converters have to be used to step down from AC back to DC.
Which two inventors worked to prove the light bulb and electricity?
Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were the two inventors who made significant contributions to proving the practicality and usefulness of the light bulb and electricity. Edison is credited with developing the first commercially viable electric light bulb, while Tesla made advancements in alternating current (AC) electricity transmission.
Who invent AC?
Willis Haviland Carrier is wrong he invented the air conditioner AC is an electrical current invented by Nikola Tesla. Thomas Edison who invented DC, used AC to make an electrical pad, killed cats and dogs to ruin Tesla because he wanted to prove it was dangerous, but DC is more dangerous.
Give the person who contribute in electricity?
The person? There are lots of them... George Westinghouse created AC power distribution Thomas Edison tried to prove it was too dangerous to use by recommending to anyone who asked that AC current was the perfect thing to use in executions. He even executed an elephant with it.
Did Thomas Edison argue that your electrical system should use direct current because he felt that alternating current was dangerous?
Yes, Thomas Edison did argue that electrical systems should use direct current (DC) over alternating current (AC) because he believed AC was more dangerous due to its high voltage. Edison even went as far as publicly demonstrating the dangers of AC by electrocuting animals using it in an attempt to discredit his competitor, George Westinghouse, who promoted AC.
Why did thomas Edison invent the electric chair?
Thomas Edison didn't actually invent the electric chair but, paid Harold P. Brown to. It was invented because Thomas Edison's competitor Nikola Tesla had AC electricty (Edison had DC) and AC was cheaper but, more dangerous. Thomas Edison wanted people to know this (so more people would choose his over Tesla's) so he had it made and electrocuted William Kemmler (who had chopped up his wife and was sent to perison). this was called the war of currents
Why did Thomas Edison do that?

Man Edison sucked, I mean what a jerk right?
AC equals AC is a prove or given?
It is not given. You can say that with the reason, "Reflexive property."
What is one invention that Thomas Edison seemed to keep working on?
ac generator
What problem did thomas Edison face regarding use of electricity and how did he solve it?
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..

Where can we find dangerous electictey?
The AC electricity used in the home is dangerous if misused.
