4. Westinghouse vs. Edison... Thomas Edison (1847-1931) a well-known inventor, used DC for his generators, ran the Edison Electric Company. His DC generators however could only supply electricity to areas a few kilometres away as power losses were so great. He tried to reduce the loss of power by using thick copper cables i.e. less resistance…George Westinghouse (1846-1914) purchased patents for Tesla’s (AC) generators and motors after seeing the advantage of this type of power supply… Edison was threatened by this, as he saw that the AC power could be more efficient and thus could damage his business…Edison then tried to sway people away from using Westinghouse’s AC power supply by making it out to be an extremely dangerous power source…he did this by performing public electrocutions of live stock ... Wow hows that for ya... i must say i am a bit of a nerd...i love my physics (don't take what i write as absolutly correct tho..that was just my recalling what we've already learnt...i could be lieing...not intentionally tho)...but at the moment im really not motivated to do this assignment... probably isnt even that hard...but its just the thought of actually having to sit down here and concerntrate...not sure if i can do that right now. Ever had thats feeling your not quite here or there? Like your in a netherland...kinda feeling a bit like that now i guess...not sure why...its quite odd really...possibly just worn out...physically and mentally... people arent wrong when they say the HSC year is draining...but oh well its all good...just need to find some time out...like right now i guess...this is pretty kool sitting here listenin to my music (Metallica- fuel at this present moment) and writing about shit all...not all that mentally straining...I LOVE IT! Ahh alkaline trio...brings back memories of the 11th march...what an awesome night!! I dont think i ended up writing a proper entry about it after that huge one deleted itself...best night ever...oh and i just might add here...IT WAS ME THAT MATT BLEW THE KISS TO BART!! ahh i dont think i'v ever been so giddy i was gobsmacked! he looked up to where we were...i blew him a kiss...i swear he was looking at me right in the eye and then while playing he blew on right back at me!

(alk3-time to waste...i suggest you listen to it...great song...just like every other alk3 song! :D) Gah dont you just hate it when random techno songs come up...there will be a great song like the one previously mentioned...then up pops some doof doof shit...ruins the moment...one bad thing about putting your play list on random..but its ok the problem has been rectified...now playing: ACDC- TNT ohh theres a great story behind that song...another good party at gaida's! such a champ he is...hahah JaJa you remember that one! "TNT its dynamite!" hahah sorry personal joke...but yeh! Well...presently im contemplating whether or not its worth sneaking out...or if i'll even be able to do it...can't stand this place at times!! GRR! oh well..im sure i'll figure out something..anyways...enough of my bullshitting about nothing ...untill next time SO LONG SUCKERS! peace.
