Also see . . . Nikola Tesla - History.com. After an unsuccessful attempt to start his own Tesla Electric Light Company and a stint digging ditches for $2 a day, Tesla found backers to support his research into alternating current. In 1887 and 1888 he was granted more than 30 patents for his inventions and invited to address the American Institute of Electrical Engineers on his work. His lecture caught the attention of George Westinghouse, the inventor who had launched the first AC power system near Boston and was Edisons major competitor in the “Battle of the Currents.” (Submitted on January 21, 2019, by Barry Swackhamer of Brentwood, California.)
