Who is credited with inventing the method of converting gas into electricity for everyday use?

• A. Meredith Gourdine
• B. Granville T. Woods
• C. John Lee Love
• D. Dr. Roland Scott

Answer: (A)

Converting gas into electricity for everyday use relies on turning the chemical energy in gas into mechanical energy, which then drives a generator to produce electrical power. This kind of energy conversion underpins devices like gas-powered generators and turbines that supply electricity in homes and industries.

Meredith Gourdine is the figure linked to advancing energy conversion technologies in this context. He was an engineer and inventor whose work focused on transforming energy forms and holding patents related to electrical devices, making practical gas-to-electricity methods feasible for daily use. The other figures listed are known for different contributions—Granville Woods for improvements in electrical transmission and railway tech, and the remaining individuals for work outside energy conversion or invention.
