Clean Technica: In 1888, Charles Brush, an Ohio-based engineer, built a 60-foot tower with a 56-foot rotor to generate up to about 12kW of electricity. He had previously been in a business involving electricity, but sold his company to Thomas-Houston, which eventually would become General Electric. By that time he had over fifty patents to his name and had built up enough funds that he no longer had to work fulltime. (He has been credited with the invention of street lighting.)
