I made my first invention when I worked here, it was a telephone repeater. I also conceived the idea of a rotating magnetic field.

I moved there because I was able t be funded in what I was studying, also because that was where the electrical engineers were gaining more understanding of electrics. DId you know that I worked for Thomas Edison? Well, I did, and we never seemed to agree on anything. You see, Edison thought that changing direct current to alternating current was too dangerous, and I was unsatisfied with my job because of these little problems that we couldn't agree on.]]> 2018-02-01 20:42:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cransdell/lwibhnml3w8p/wish/227277655 cransdell https://padlet.com/cransdell/lwibhnml3w8p/wish/227337838 By 1891 I had made forty patents about my technology inventions.]]> 2018-02-02 01:32:22 UTC https://padlet.com/cransdell/lwibhnml3w8p/wish/227337838 Quote from Biography cransdell https://padlet.com/cransdell/lwibhnml3w8p/wish/227338191 "As his inventions began to attract attention in the late 1880s, he began giving lectures. Perhaps the most notable was a presentation he gave to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in May 1888 that earned him a reputation as a brilliant electrical engineer."
