yeh i believe the first electric chair did use AC and instead of turning the public against it it actually made the public like it. i also hear it didnt go very well for the guy it was first tested on, he died a horrible death.Originally posted by untamedanimal
About the westinghouse-edison, it was funny to read how edison tried to convince people about the evils of AC power by suggesting it should be used in electric chairs and about how he electrocuted animals with AC power to turn people away from it
