On this segment of The Henry Ford’s Innovation Nation, Mo Rocca meets with chief curator Marc Greuther, to learn more about the genius of Nikola Tesla. After brief employment by Thomas Edison, inventor and engineer Nikola Tesla worked to improve the alternating current (AC) electric supply system. Tesla’s patented AC induction motor and transformer were licensed by Edison rival George Westinghouse. Tesla's alternating current induction motor and pioneering work with polyphase electricity were fundamental to the development of today's electric power grid systems.
