Nikola Tesla
Despite the fact that the new hydroelectric generating station was a revolutionary invention for its time, it wasn’t capable of carrying electricity to long distances. It was only able to carry electricity up to 300 feet. This wasn’t a good thing. Something needed to be improved, but no one knew how to accomplish that.
His Great Impact
Nikola Tesla had an enormous impact on the world we live in today. You may be starting to wonder how. In fact, he came up with a novel way to transmit electricity over long distances. He began by sending electricity to Buffalo as an experiment. The power plant was located about 20 miles from New York City.
