A New Video About George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla

Jeremiah Huth of Inecom Entertainment Company has sent word about a newly produced DVD about the life and legacy of inventor and industrialist George Westinghouse, his partnership with Nikola Tesla and his battles with Thomas Edison. This is a story well worth watching.

The new video is summarized on the Inecom web site (or simply go to www.westinghousefilm.com):

"Westinghouse is a feature-length documentary about the life and times of George Westinghouse, his companies, legacy, personality, partnership with Nikola Tesla and conflict with Thomas Edison.

"George Westinghouse is considered America's greatest industrialist and the only man who would go up against Thomas Edison, and win.

"His victory over Edison during the Battle of the Currents set the stage for the entire future of electric power. The Westinghouse air brake is considered one of the most important inventions in history. Automobile shock absorbers, railroad signaling and the modern day weekend all owe their existence to the man who Andrew Carnegie called “A genius who can't be downed.”

"Westinghouse may be most famous for the massive companies that he created, but the man called “Uncle George” was a reserved, creative giant who went out of his way to treat his workforce with dignity and respect. He was an honest millionaire in the days of robber barons, an optimist in the days of skeptics and a generous CEO from whom today's executives can learn."

Westinghouse, which is a high-definition film, will be released on 8 April 2008. Reader's who would like to review the film for The Citizen Scientist are encouraged to send a note here.
