I thought it was the other way around. Tesla was always the person who 
would visualize the entire thing in his head and made sure that it all 
worked in his mind before attempting it, while Edison was the person who 
tried it and found out why that that particular setup went up in smoke. I 
seem to usually try the Edison approach, which may be why I've blasted so 
many of the geek groups caps...

Sue: Thank you for your posting. My wife and I are a team. Im a ivory
tower teck nut. I get lost in research. She says I'm Edison and she is
Tesla. I design and build and she is '" Power to the Plug" let it rip. When
the smoke clears lets see what happened!!!" I'm glue it back again."
