Nikola Tesla’s Invention
Though the power station could generate electricity to many, there was still a drawback as it only went to as far as 300 feet, and no one knew yet how to get it to go further. Until a famous scientist, by the name of Nikola Tesla came along with an invention that would change everything.
He discovered a way to move electricity over long distances through alternating current, and the first test from the generating station saw power reaching as far as to Buffalo, New York, about 20 miles away. Tesla was lauded for his invention, and its application is still in effect to this day.
A Firm Source of Electricity
From the time of Nikola Tesla until today, the Niagara Falls is still producing a vast amount of electricity of over two million kilowatts of power, in the same way, that it did then.
In reality, what better source of electricity could the world ask for than that created with the help of renewable resources? After all, times have changed, and the cities have become overpopulated and polluted and our environment overall is heading for a downfall. Renewable sources such as the sun, water, and wind are the only ways of providing a solution to the problems the destructive nature of man has caused on the environment.
