Edison had his empire build on the Direct current and Tesla came with the alternate current which was better. In the end Nikola Tesla won.
Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla had a professional rivalry. Edison favored direct current (DC) electricity while Tesla championed alternating current (AC) technology. This led to conflict between them, especially during the "war of the currents." Despite this, they both respected each other's work and contributions to science and technology.
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.
Nikola Tesla was Thomas Edison's most famous rival. The two were involved in the "War of Currents," a competition to establish whether direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) would become the standard for electric power transmission. Tesla's work on AC systems ultimately prevailed over Edison's DC systems.
Nikola Tesla worked for Thomas Edison for about a year in the 1880s before leaving due to disagreements over payment and differing opinions on electrical technology.
Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla met when Tesla started working for Edison at his company, Edison Machine Works, in 1884. Tesla made significant contributions to the company, but the two inventors had contrasting views on electricity and eventually parted ways due to disagreements on alternating current versus direct current.

In the "War of Currents" era (sometimes, "War of the Currents" or "Battle of Currents") in the late 1880s, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. resources: wikipedia

Two words, Nikola Tesla
The ruthless Thomas Alva Edison
Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla was never in sports.
Thales, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin.
Nikola Tesla worked for Thomas Edison for about a year in the 1880s before leaving due to disagreements over payment and differing opinions on electrical technology.
The most know person was Edison.
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
