TESLA vs EDISON 💡 La guerra que ELECTRIFICÓ el mundo (Alterna vs Continua)

For millennia, wood and oil were our only defense against the night. But at the end of the 19th century, two geniuses clashed in an unprecedented technical and media battle: the War of the Currents. In this video, we explore the engineering behind Nikola Tesla's Alternating Current (AC) and Thomas Edison's Direct Current (DC). Why couldn't Edison's system power an entire city? How does a transformer actually work, and why was it Tesla and Westinghouse's "secret weapon"? We analyze everything from the rigor of physics (Ohm's Law and Joule Effect) to the darkest moments of this rivalry, including the smear campaign, the invention of the electric chair, and the ultimate triumph at Niagara Falls. In this video, you will learn: • The technical difference between flowing electrons and oscillating electrons. • Why high voltage is key to long-distance power transmission. • The impact of Tesla's induction motor on modern industry. • Who really won? The rebirth of Direct Current in the digital age. If you're passionate about the history of science and engineering that builds our present, subscribe to Pure Science!
