He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted February 1, 2007 Well, Tesla had a rock band named after him. Edison didn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted February 1, 2007 I voted Edison since his inventions were absolutely noted and on record. I admit I don't know everything about Tesla, but every time he is discussed, they always say that he "supposedly" invented this or that. Nobody seems to know for sure.

MrPsychic 1 Posted February 1, 2007 From what I know, which isn't much, Tesla seems insane compared to Edison. Tesla wanted to make death rays. Edison, not so much :blink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted February 2, 2007 Edison. Sure, he had an ego the size of Jupiter, but it wasn't completely undeserved. Tesla may have had a rock band named after him, but Edison invented the first means for recording audio. Boo-yah! Oh, and there *was* a group called Edison Lighthouse, though they were just one of about four or five studio groups featuring Tony Burrows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted February 2, 2007 Although, Edison DID create the electric chair using alternating current to prove how dangerous it was and to put George Westinghouse out of business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted February 3, 2007 Well, George may have been driven out of business, but Westinghouse Electric sure as hell didn't get driven out of business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A l t e r E g o 9 Posted April 8, 2008 Tesla Edison was a smart business man and changed the world but Tesla had some killer ideas which had they been developed further might have made the world a better place to live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted April 8, 2008 Tesla Edison was a smart business man and changed the world but Tesla had some killer ideas which had they been developed further might have made the world a better place to live. I agree. A death ray aimed at the Middle East would be quite handy these days......... :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
