You need a way to know how much energy is consumed

in order to set up an appropriate account.

Zinc electrodes transmitted information to each other at a certain rate when electricity was used. However, zinc electrodes after each reading of the amount of energy consumed should be replaced by new ones.

1899 he began developing an alkaline battery, which, in his opinion, would feed them. As a result, by 1900, about 28 percent of the more than 4,000 cars manufactured in America worked on electricity. His goal was to create a battery, on which the car can recharge 100 miles without recharging. Edison abandoned his idea 10 years later, since gasoline appeared, which was much more profitable in use
