Many years ago I watched the movie "The Current War" and had a in-depth view of both DC (Edison) and AC (Tesla), in terms of technology and commercialization competition. It is now proven that DC and AC co-exist and complementing each other, not rivalry.
Even IEC is working on Low Voltage DC (LVDC) as in fact we are living in a DC world now. More to read here: https://www.iec.ch/energies/lvdc

Subject: Friday Fun Fact - Nikola Tesla
He's Electric!!
Tesla revolutionized the possibilities of AC when he perfected the AC motor by eliminating inefficient and awkward connections to create "an almost magical rotating magnetic field."
The key to Tesla's motor was continuous current that kicked in, with almost no wearing parts.
George Westinghouse, using a complete AC system developed by Tesla (motors combined with generators and transformers), won the AC-DC battle in 1896 when he harnessed the power of Niagara Falls to transmit electric power to Buffalo, New York
I wonder if any of the iNARTE Engineers or Technicians hold a patent for any inventions?
