Scenarios about 'direct current'
Direct current is an electric current that flows consistently in one direction, contrasting with alternating current that periodically reverses direction. Pioneered and championed by Thomas Edison in the late 19th century, DC power was central to the early development of electrical systems and the "War of the Currents" with Tesla and Westinghouse. In alternate histories, different outcomes of this technological rivalry could significantly alter the development of electrical infrastructure and subsequent technologies.
