The first practical generator was built by Thomas
Edison, the famous inventor. He used it to provide
electricity for his laboratory and then later to generate
power for the first New York street to be illuminated
by electric lamps. Unlike most AC (alternating current)
generators of today, Edison’s apparatus produced DC
(direct current).
