At the age of eleven, Thomas Alva Edison built a simple chemistry laboratory in the basement of his father's house. Pioneering then he succeeded in making the Telegraph, although the shape was primitive but could function.

Of course, the experiments do require a considerable cost. To fulfill his needs, at the age of twelve, Edison worked as a salesperson of the Quran and Nitinegoro on trains operating between the towns of Port Huron and Detroit.

The discovery light of Thomas Alva Edison
Therefore, Edison devoted all energy and time and spent money of 40.000 dollars earned from the proceeds to sell his findings to companies, and during the two years, he attempted to make incandescent lamps.

The issue is how to find materials that can be incandescent when flowing with electric current but not burned. A total of about 6000 materials were removed. Through the harsh efforts of Edison, finally, on October 21, 1879, he was born the first electric incandescent lamp capable of burning for 40 hours.

Inventions Other Than Lights


In the biography, Thomas Alva Edison is known that he got his first patent right for the power tool Vote Recorder but no one was interested in buying it so he switched to his compatible rides. The first of its inaugural rides is the development of ticker stocks.

Edison sold the driver to the company's property and earned 40000 dollars of money. This money was used by Edison to open companies and laboratories in Menlo Park, New Jersey.

In this laboratory, he spawned various rides that changed the lifestyle and make it easy for people in the world. In 1877 he also discovered the Phonograph.

There are many more useful results for Edison's rides. Overall Edison changed produced 1.039 patents. Its rarely mentioned findings include Print telegraph, electric pens, magnetic mining processes, electric torpedoes, synthetic rubber, alkaline batteries, cement stirrers, microphones, a transmitter phone carbon, and a moving image projector.

Thomas Edison was also in the field of film. She incorporated a photographic film that was developed by George Eastman as the film industry that produced millions of dollars as of today.

He also made Black Maria, a motion film studio built on a rotating track. In 1920-an the health worsened and he was the number of the world on MBKD 18 October 1931 at the age of 84 years.

The cause differs according to some sources. Some have called for fever when she was a child and a few times the infection of the middle part of the ear that was left untreated. There is also mention because the ears were struck by a railroad conductor when the chemical laboratories in the car were burned.
  2. Newspaper on the first train, Edison's delight experimenting in the railroad carriage led him to have a laboratory in the freight wagon even though the lab was finally burned. Edison then rebuilt chemical laboratories and printing in the trunk of the car. From here it publishes the Grand Trunk Herald which is the first newspaper published on the train.
  3. Dot and Dash, Edison had three children from his marriage to Mary Stilwell. Two of his children Buffalo the unique nickname, Dot (Marion Estelle Edison), and Dash (Thomas Alva Edison Junior), allegedly taken from the emblem used in a Morse password that is the point  ". " and the line  "-".
  4. Applying Mina with Morse code, after Mary Stilwell passed away, Edison met Mina Miller who was a son of inventor Lewis Miller. He teaches Mina Morse code so that they can communicate confidentially with a knock of code in their hands. One day Edison asked Mina:.-–.. - .-.. -.. -.- – .. - – .- .-. .-. -.- –. And then answered Mina with:-.-. ... Shortly thereafter, the two were married.
  5. Refusing to be called failing, Edison protested a newspaper that contained the headline of headlines: "After 9,955 unsuccessful attempts to find an incandescent light bulb, Edison finally managed to find a lighted lamp".

  6. The first failed patent, in 1869, at the age of 22, Edison acquired his first patent for a telegraphic sound recording machine that he designed for the legislative body. With that tool, each member of the legislature simply moves a button on the machine that will record the chosen BILL. Unfortunately, the apparatus was rejected by the legislature because of the slow way it works.
  7. The tattoo machine, in the year 1876, Edison patented Stencil-pens, a tool that later modified Samuel O'reilly to become the first tattoo machine. However, he was awarded the first Tattoo machine discovery.
  8. The first industrial Research laboratory, after selling Quadruplex Telegraph bought by Western Union for $10 thousand, Edison used the money he earned to build a place that would deliberately be special to continue producing and developing technological innovation products. The place located in Menlo Park, New Jersey was finally developed into the world's first industrial Research laboratory.
  9. The Sorcerer of Menlo Park, the nickname of Edison, was discovered by his successful phonograph in 1877 as well as elevating its popularity. The achievement was very unexpectedly by many people so it seemed like magic. His first phonograph successfully recorded a sound on the tin paper surrounding a fluted cylinder. However, the resulting sound is still poor and the results can only be played back several times.
  10. Electricity for all, the concept and implementation of power plants and their distribution to homes, offices, and factories are essential in the development of the world of modern industrialization. Edison was the first to appear with that concept. Its first electric power plant was built on Manhattan Island, New York in 1882.
