What to Expect
Hamilton's 2nd industrial revolution Defined both Hamilton & Canada as an advanced society
History - The greatest development in Hamilton's History was about to unfold, but would it work? Only one person knew for sure. Tesla had patented the complete system in 1888.
Prior to Nikola Tesla, In Edison's DC electric micro systems, electricity traveled only a few miles. The Five Johns plans called for a transmission that was 35 miles (54 Km) long.
They consulted the great inventor, Nikola Tesla, who assured them that it was possible. John Patterson's dream would come true on August 25, 1898, when power arrived in Hamilton over the 2nd longest power transmission in the world.

new discovery
John Patterson learned about Nikola Telsa's AC Polyphase System as early as 1890. In 1894 he traveled to Niagara Falls to view the Adams Power Generation Station under construction. Patterson quickly confirmed his knowledge when the Five Johns used Tesla's inventions to deliver power to Hamilton. Decew PGS today is the oldest continuously functioning power generation station around. Decew I Power Generating Station commenced producing of hydroelectric power on August 25, 1898.
This development sparked a whole new age. It is referred to as the 2nd industrial revolution.
