I loved these 36 chapters. In my life as an electrical engineer i never knew about the marvelous man. Today (Jan2021) i have the privilege to work for Westinghouse Electric Corporation (nuclear) in Pittsburgh. What a wonderful moment to be part of George Westinghouse's legacy. Well done on the making of this film. Very inspiring.

Poor management ran an American icon into the ground. I was proud to have worked for Westinghouse in the 80's.

GEORGE WESTINGHOUSE IS THE GODFATHER OF ENGINEERING.

Truly a gift to humanity. Talk about an "unsung hero"!! God bless you, Mr. Westinghouse, God bless you!

Wow, this was DEEP. I love history, but I never knew there was a "battle" between Westinghouse and Edison. The way Edison did Tesla was low down, but Westinghouse saw the value in him and Embraced it. Westinghouse was human and he treated everyone as humans should. We needed and still need people like him in the world. It would be a much better place.

Worked for Westinghouse 34 years, then it was sold to Siemens. Rewound many large motors and generators and saw many large gas and steam turbines. Always something different that needed repair coming through the doors.

I started working in the electrical trade on industrial sites at the age of 15. I have to confess that I lied about my age to get the job. That job changed my whole life I went to school in the study of electricity for 2 years and came out with a trade certificate and eventually became an apprentice electrician. I specialized in industrial electric systems and eventually in control electrical systems. I can tell you one thing electricians who work with three phase motors and industrial systems no two names as the fathers of the electrical industry the first one is Tesla and the second one is Westinghouse.

Yay! A wonderful report on one of my greatest heroes! As stated, he sure was a gift, and a well liked genius! Honorable Navy veteran. GREAT AMERICAN.🇺🇸

I had not idea, what an amazing story of a generous inventor.

Steam locomotives mostly seen on the Southern Railways network were fitted with Westinghouse air brake pumps and some of these locomotives still exist and the pumps are still functioning and doing their jobs they were designed for.

My grandfather's Westinghouse fan similar to the unit shown in documentaries opening. Still cools the hot summer air more than 85 years later. _Of course even back then a shopping cart had more of a metal grid holding back groceries then what little safety stands between my fingers and this articulating consumer goods open fan blade._

An amazing documentary!

Excellent portrayal of an excellent man.

Wow I had Westinghouse TV and now I have 2 tvs. I am sure going to be a customer from now on even more

It was the Westinghouse Corporation that invented the air brake system. When my Mother found this out she was a bit sad. She thought her father invented air brakes!!!!

George Westinghouse, Thomas Edison and Nicoli Tesla... geniuses indeed. 🤔

Thanks for sharing it, what an amazing history and biography documental of such an exemplsr man and mechanical engenier and inventor and humble man that love to improve life to the society i learn something new about old times that are better than now about soul of the people and that bankers still the same horrible people with no souls just moneh minds i will read more about him you.got here a new fan of westing house george and want to learn more about it so i can find a way to help my people with something that can come to my head and invent cheers from Merida, Venezuela !!!

What a great film. I am very fortunate to own a Westinghouse 3 phase alternator of 1902.

Surper documentary, bravo and thank you. Regards from Greece

The dryer my mom had played "How Dry I Am". Didn't know how rare that was.

very impressing this documentary about a special person.

Where would the country be without these extraordinary men like Edison & Westinghouse; however, Westinghouse was a humble, driven genius in relation to his workers & an innovator? The robot reminds me of the film THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL. Must research the production date & production designers!

W. Was a good man .. he cared about his people and treated them like family.. what a difference from frik and Edison..

My father started out in the mail room at Westinghouse in Maryland. Worked for the Wyoming Mineral Corp, Westinghouse Defense Center, Westinghouse submarine division in Annapolis, they paid for his night school, and finally, just before the Northrup Grumman merger, was laid off in 1994. Worked there for over 30 years.

In grade school, I had to do a report on electricity and its applications, folder form, with illustrated pages depicting assigned topics like dynamos, household appliances, electrified rail lines, and so on. I added an unassigned postscript- a convict strapped to an electric chair and the slogan beneath him: “You can be sure… if it’s Westinghouse!” I got extra credit.

Best Documentary of the man I’ve seen or read!

Thank you....

Such a wonderful poignant story presented perfectly !!!

When I left school, my first job was engraving switches for Westinghouse

Nothing can I say than I NEVER KNEW NOW I KNOW THAT Full Filled MY LESS THAN MY GOD AND LORD JESUS CHRIST. Thankfully by His GRACE I am faithful, otherwise I would have said The Honorary Mr. George Westinghouse.

A great history of a company I loved. Seattle field engineering service.

As someone who works with computers I am familiar with the good people of the industry like Jerry Sanders III or Bill Hewlett. Westinghouse is the first name outside of my field that comes to mind as one of the most respected entrepreneurs and who never succumbed to the temptations of the ego and macho-driven mentality of the era.

GREAT VIDEO IVE GOT A WESTINGHOUSE GENORATER FOR MY HOUSE FOR WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT !

What a beautiful documentary, Thank you so much for sharing this with the wise whom listen closely to the message of George Westinghouse.

A brilliant man.

Today's CEO's sell company assets and give themselves huge bonuses for doing so.

25:55 wow people back then had more style and manners. Now angry people shop in pajamas at Walmart.

A American Hero shuntten by our schools and text books...Uncle George is by far an individual head and shoulders ABOVE TOM EDISON THAT toke credit from the work of his employees

George was a very decent man … the same could not be said of Thomas ….

What a guy!

One time I was looking to buy a house in Berkshires and the realtor showed me Westinghouse mansion I almost bought it due to its upgrades....

The "dead chicken" test is still used to evaluate an aircraft windshield's strength in a bird strike.

My uncle who graduated from MIT as electrical engineer was cheated out of a patent buy his employer he stayed with the employer he made them sign a contract that from now on he would receive a good deal of the profits from the next patents he would hold five patents in computer hardware

Let’s go brandon 🍦🍦🍦

where consciousness is an echo of our senses an echo of our senses may echo for all of eternity

Sadly im in Hamilton ontario westinghouse was a major player here with a massive plant for its time, now stripped apart and just a shell of out buildings and pieced off land

anyone know the song at about 1:37:00 ? lol

By the time of the Columbia Exposition Edison had been run out of GE. GE sold its first AC generating station at the World's Fair, the Pelzer hydroelectric plant in Pelzer SC. It went online in 1894 and is still in operation today. The oldest continuously operating power plant in the world. GE's Pelzer plant went online over a year before Niagara. Edison was a showman and an idiot and everyone knew it. GE's CP Steinmetz was the true genius of AC theory and effective and efficient machinery.

Tractors with speeds over 40kph are in need of air brakes. Westinghouse saves lives.

Excellent man! He had to meet Tesla!

I would have NEVER thought Westinghouse, nor, Sears would have gone out of business,..

Skipped right over the civil war

#leodicaprio - I haven't given up on the dream brother. The battle within myself is over, I'm overcoming the naysayers and assailants.

amazingly inspirational...but as i am inspired, what shall i invent for these days, since there is so much invented already? maybe we can honour the legacy by inventing the Fusion Reactor, FTL Space Travel, and large scale gigaton space mining and extraterrestrial material processing and sourcing...(without the military aspect or the greed of gaining profits offcourse) 😂

Damn…… poor elephant

This information should have been more available to the V...W...X...Y...And Z generations. Could've passed along this info between each other and kept this place from being where it is at present.

Times

Wow, documentaries like this should be more widely played, to me, before watching this, Westinghouse was just a firm that made white goods, fridges freezers eg but I had no idea what a driving force he was in industry, particularly the railways. I did not know the safe breaking system on trains was his invention & he encouraged his staff to invent things & gave them credit if they came up with a good idea. Edison must have been a real barstard & a snake & yet he gets credited for other peoples inventions that he either bought their patents cheap or just stole them outright. The way that the banks crippled Westinghouse at the end & rolled back his workers rights was just wrong, I might have to watch this video again, well done to the team that made it.

Too many commercials.

Fantastic insight to a great man. Too bad for Edison though. I guess karma caught up with him for being a prick. Shame on him for doing Tesla that way.

I am here for the cupaloy.

This is the type of man Andrew carnagie wanted to be but his grudge and competition with JDR (due to him being the demise of his mentor) prevented him from being so. He had major regrets of his actions and affiliations with frick especially the homestead debacle (strike that turned fatally violent) and the Jones Town massacre due to the damm break after lowering it for their gentlemens club. Gave most of his money away and bought himself a good name again but will never be seen in the same light as westinghouse...

I share his birthday ...

oh how these men are missed..... over 100 years later, and who is leading the technology charge? may George rest in peace....

TESLA WAS A MEGA GENIUS COMPARED TO WESTINGHOUSE! 👍🏻

no TESLER ? no westighouse

This shows when capitalism was great it served purpose for alot of folks. prosperity decent pay im guessing not bad working conditions your employees had decent housing, campare to amazon wharehouse worker and all the delivery drivers, making 17 an hour working like dogs, so you can pay 3/4 of your salery to rent i think you might be eligabe for foodstamps though. System broken does not work only benifits stockholders who dont do a thing.??? dont worry we have leaders who are looking out for us. everything gonna be alright.

My mom got a westinghouse TV that sucked. I dunno if any of you did.

Whoa. The introduction turned me off so much that I just found something else to watch

Tesla invented AC electricity not Westinghouse, they all ripped Tesla off.

Westinghouse is gone. The name was sold off. It's dead now.

This makes absolutely no sense did the old man lose his business or not they're not making any sense on here I have lost all interest.

Criminal only

First you say trains could be made longer and heavier than before, carrying more goods and people and in turn making more money for train owners,then you say they had no interest or incentives to install this new braking system because the old way worked fine,so what if men die,which is it,it's not always the owners that are devils.

BS Tesla invented A\C power.

Westinghouse just about went under and then Tesla gave him his patents for free. I hate stupid history. And then where was Westinghouse when Tesla was living alone and out of money. Classic stupid history. We don't live in the alternating current world of Westinghouse we live in the alternating current world of Tesla.

he stole the most important ideas.

Nikola Tesla was a nobody compared to him and Edison

Jesus is indeed Lucifer the Morning Star, which is why Isaiah 14:12 lists Lucifer as the Morning Star and then Jesus calls himself the Morning Star in Rev 22:16. The reason Christians fail to see the obvious is because they are brainwashed by their churches into reading the Bible BACKWARDS and reading the New Testament BEFORE the Old Testament. We read books from FRONT TO BACK for a reason, and that is because you can't possibly understand the end of a book that you don't understand the beginning of. And it is not even possible to fully understand a book from reading the LAST QUARTER of it. With that being said...----> Adam and Eve were NOT first, and the 2 stories of Creation in Genesis are NOT about the same Creation as the Christian church teaches. GOD makes people on the 6th day of Creation in Genesis 1:26. Then in Genesis chapter 2 God rests, God sanctifies the 7th day, and then the LORD God of Israel creates Adam and Eve on the 7th day of Creation. To work on the 7th day that God has blessed and sanctified is BLASPHEMY, which is what makes the LORD God SATAN the LORD of this world. That also makes clear that Adam and Eve were NOT FIRST, they were made second. Doesn't the 6th day of Creation come BEFORE the 7th day of Creation?----> The family lineage that begins with Adam and ends with Jesus is the family lineage made by SATAN the LORD God, not God. That's why Isaiah 14:12 lists Lucifer as the Morning Star, and then Jesus calls himself the Morning Star in Rev 22:16. Jesus was Lucifer in the flesh, not God in the flesh. Jesus is Lucifer the Morning Star! Go to my channel for more details... That NEW WORLD Order that Alex Jones and other GOP Christians pretend to fight is really the goal of Christianity otherwise known as the NEW EARTH (Isaiah 65:17, Isaiah 66:22, 2 Peter 3:13, Rev 21:1) to be ruled by the New Jerusalem. The New Earth is where the nations are destroyed and massed together for a world government that will be on the shoulders of Jesus. Well, isn't the New World Order a world government as well? And gee, New Earth even sounds exactly like New World, doesn't it? That is not a coincidence, the New Earth is indeed the New World Order. It's all right there in your NEW WORLD Translation Bible if you actually bothered to read it...

Westinghouse was never in any "partnership with Nikola Tesla." This is Tesla's fanboy talk, the legendary gnat with a hard-on floating down the river on its back and shouting "raise the bridge." Tesla was a boozy self-publicist who appointed himself a Westinghouse promoter during the Edison-Westinghouse fight over AC vs. DC municipal power distribution. Westinghouse won on the physical realities of the case and Tesla never shut up from there on out. Eventually the Plaza Hotel demanded that Tesla pay his bar and room bills and threw him out on the street when he didn't pay. Tesla escaped jail for his various airy stock-market promotions, but died in well-earnd poverty. Pffft.
