HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Thomas Edison lost the electricity war because his rival figured out how to easily pump up the pressure.

AC power could be cranked to lethal voltages for cheap long-distance travel, then safely lowered right before entering your living room.
One discovery leads to another.
