How would you rank the greatest inventions of the last 100

years? We've see some legitimate paradigm-shifting stuff, but if I had to choose one, I think the dry erase board is probably the most remarkable.

Because there are a lot more losses involved...
Mar 10, 2022, 1:00 PM
[ in reply to So why did AC win out over DC? ] |

with transmitting DC over distance because the voltage can't be transformed (not practically anyways).
We do have some long-distance DC transmission lines in the US and Canada...once you get the voltage high enough using AC, then DC transmission can be a lot cheaper and easier to stabilize.

I would think Relief Factor or Prevagen merit at least Top 10 consideration.
