Electrically powered vehicles of every sort featured large in adventure stories such as those of Jules Verne and the Tom Swift books . The masters of electricity , whether fictional or real — including scientists such as Thomas Edison , Charles Steinmetz or Nikola Tesla — were popularly conceived of as having wizard @-@ like powers .

 While the early 19th century had seen rapid progress in electrical science , the late 19th century would see the greatest progress in electrical engineering . Through such people as Alexander Graham Bell , Ottó Bláthy , Thomas Edison , Galileo Ferraris , Oliver Heaviside , Ányos Jedlik , William Thomson , 1st Baron Kelvin , Charles Algernon Parsons , Werner von Siemens , Joseph Swan , Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse , electricity turned from a scientific curiosity into an essential tool for modern life , becoming a driving force of the Second Industrial Revolution .
