In regard to electrocution by AC, Edison tried to get the term
"westinghoused" used instead of "electrocuted."
His most famous and lucrative invention, I suppose, was the electric
utility. Notice how many of them still today have "Edison" in their name.
Near the end of his life, wasn't he trying to communicate with dead spirits?
