- Animats 7y agoMuch of it wrong, but oh well. "Early DC power stations had a dynamo for every light bulb. Source unknown." No way. Edison's first Pearl St station, which is very well documented, did not work that way. Edison's Menlo Park NJ demo did not work that way. Some really early arc lamp plant, maybe. There's a problem with paralleling DC generators. Edison hit that and solved it. Scaling problems, the early years.
