[QUOTE="Heresy, post: 59864, member: 540683"] I'll admit I was wrong about the AC/DC debate. Thomas Edison was the one who claimed DC voltage was safer than AC voltage and took great efforts to prove his point. This included electricuting small animals and convicts. It was more of a PR campaign against Nikola Telsa's AC current being used in cities. The amount of money wrapped up in DC current was too great for Edison to just yield to AC. Anyway, I guess I believed the arguement without question and never looked into it until I was called on it. One of the better sites to read up on this not so interesting history is [URL="http://flyingmoose.org/truthfic/tesla.htm"]http://flyingmoose.org/truthfic/tesla.htm[/URL] . I'll just cower in the corner. :p I admit defeat to chris229. Listen to him, he knows what he is talking about.
