    Menlo Park" was an American inventor who developed direct current (electric current that runs in one direction). Direct current was the standard in the US in the early years of electricity. One major issue with direct current transmission methods was that direct current was not easily transformed into higher or lower voltages. Meanwhile, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse believed in an idea known as alternating current. Alternating current reverses the direction 60 times a second in the US and is
