One of Westinghouse’s most important inventions was the air break for the trains. He revolutionized the train industry and made great advancement in that field. This system used a compressor on the engine of the train and used a single pipe running all the way thru the train. If the systems of the train fail, the pipe can be disconnected, and the brakes will be applied. Air brakes systems make transportation by train safer. The air break reduces the possibility of accidents. It also enables longer and heavier trains to run at higher speeds. Air brakes are still used in everyday vehicles. One other great invention of this great inventor was the AC system. He revolutionized the electricity industry forever with his brilliant design and efficient system. He would have been way less successful without the help of Nicola Tesla. The creator of the efficient AC motor there were other alternatives but Tesla’s was the best.
