Thomas Alva Edison moved to Port Huron in Michigan with his family when he was seven years old. If he started his first learning here, he was suspended for about three months, due to slow detection. He was trained by a private tutor for the next three years. Having an extremely inquisitive and creative personality, Edison, when he was 10 years old, gave himself to physics and chemistry books.
Meanwhile, he founded a chemistry lab in their house. He was particularly interested in research to obtain electrical current from chemical experiments and Volta vessels; After a while he made a telegram on his own and learned the Morse script. In those days, his ears began to hear less, as a result of a severe illness.
When he was twelve, he started selling newspapers on the train between Port Huron and Detroit to help his family, while Edison moved his home lab to the freight wagon of the train, where he continued his work. During this period, Edison studied Michael Faraday's experimental Research in electricity and was deeply impressed. On the one hand, he repeated Faraday's experiments, and on the one hand, he started to work more regularly and keep notes by giving weights to his experiments. 1868 ′ founded the workshop. He patented an electric voting recording machine that he developed the same year. The device was very interested, but no one was bought. Edison lost all his money and settled in New York, leaving Boston in debt.
Edison's chances turned on the degradation of the telegram used to regulate the gold stock. Edison, who skillfully repaired the device on the request of the stock market officials, received a recommendation to make a competency study on the Telegraph recording devices being developed from the Western Union Telegraph Company. Along with a friend, Edison founded the Universal Stock Printer Engineering Company. He made a substantial amount of money in a short time with the patents he sold. With this money, he started to build a factory in Newark, New Jersey, and began to produce telegrams and telegraphy devices. After a while, he shut down his mill and set up a research laboratory at Menlo Park in New Jersey and devoted all his time to working on making new inventions.
In 1876, Graham Bell began working on the Speaking Telegraph (phone). He's been empowering the phone by adding a carbon transmitter to the device. In 1877, he developed his work on the dynamics of sound waves to record and repeat the sound of Gramafit. The wide echo-inspiring invention has caused its reputation to spread across the international level.
The Edison, which was affected by William Wallace's 500 candle-powered arc lamp in 1878, has embarked on developing a new electric lamp that is safer and works cheaper. With the help of a campaign opened for this purpose, he provided the financial support of leading businessmen and founded the Edison Electric Light Company. It was designed to build a light bulb that emits air in a drained environment (vacuum) and works with low flow, instead of the electric arc that burns with oxygen. He tried to make a metal wire that he could use as Flemish for this purpose. In the end, on October 21, 1879, he introduced a carbon-flame electric light bulb to the public, which was powered by a special high-voltage electric generator. Three years later, the streets of New York were going to light up with these lamps.
In 1887, Edison moved from Menlo Park to West Orange in New Jersey, where he opened the Edison Lab, ten times the size of his previous labs. An alternative current was developed that was more suitable for long-range conduction towards 1890. Believing the superiority of the right stream, Edison started a campaign, trying to warn the public that high-voltage alternating current systems were extremely dangerous. In 1892, Edison lost control of the General Electric Company. and merged with the General Electric company. Edison had six children who married twice. He's tried to make new inventions for the rest of his life.
The invention of the bulb
During a listening trip, Edison was invited to review the new electric lamp made by the metal fabricator and the manufacturer of the American Dynamo machine, Willam Wallace. Edison was attached to a graphite plate in the face of a simple device consisting of two arms moving with a wooden frame. It looked like the electric current and the blue light arc that unites both plates. The flame that dazzled the eyes, the graphite plates quickly melted.
The way that Edison works with a 40-50 colleague is unique in the history of scientific research. They were working without a break. The air in the small glass bulbs in the workshop emptied the electric current to prevent the burning of the substance. But the point was that this substance was about to happen. Some substances can barely stand, some of them cost a lot. Whereas Edison wanted to make a cheap lamp so that everyone could take it home.
The carbonization process, the cardboard, the coconut shell, the mushroom, even a couple of the red beards of a guest from the lab were tried. Because of the constant work, Edison's eyes were on fire, giving unbearable pains. But he's not telling anyone, he's just recording it in the Scrapbook. One day in a row of experiments, his assistant said, "Now, we should give up, because we've done a thousand experiments so far, and we haven't got any results!" Edison immediately objected and said: "That's not true! Yes, we couldn't achieve our goal, but it's not true that we have no results. Because we have learned a thousand different methods that should not be tried for what we are looking for, "he said. This is Edison's most important word in history.
In November 1879, Edison was sitting at the head of a writing table one night thinking about what to do by sucking off a faint cigar. When Edison was distracted, one of his buttons snapped when he was turning the button on his jacket. A piece of yarn was hanging over it. He jumped out of nowhere, went to the lab and showed his technicians a piece of yarn. He told them to take a rope and put them in small pieces and carbonized them and put them in the lamp. Their assistants didn't expect results, but they did it right away. Edison's idea seemed like the last resort to apply before he gave up his work.
Although the charred fibers were broken every time, one of them was able to hang on the lamp without breaking it. The lamp's air was evacuated immediately. When the lamp was electrocuted, the thread was angry and a sweet yellow light occurred. Edison and his friends looked at the light, wondering how long it would take to think black.
The bulb didn't fade for hours. The ongoing studies had to build a power plant at the end of the 900 building electricity, install thousands of meters, put together 14,000 bulbs with their hearing. On September 4, 1882, when a mark of the famous inventor was given the current, hundreds of thousands of electricity were burned in hundreds of buildings in the whole neighborhood, thousands of electric lamps lit up, and the bright, sweet lights began to spread around.
The greatest enthusiast of the Edison era was declared. Not everyone was just flocking to see her, not the lamps. There's no one left who doesn't know Edison. Edison's most important place was the first industrial research lab in Menlo Park, New Jersey. It was the first institution established for a special purpose, such as continuous technological discoveries and improvements. Edison has officially produced many of his inventions in this laboratory, and many employees have been involved in the research and development of invents in line with his directives.
Electrical Engineer William Joseph Hammer began his mission as Edison's lab assistant in December 1879. The phone has contributed greatly to the phonograph, electric train, iron mine separator, electric lighting and many other kinds of invention. It is the work of Hammer in the invention of the electric light bulb and during the development and testing of this instrument. Hammer was the chief engineer of Edison's lamp work in 1880, and in the first year of this role, he produced a factory 50,000 bulb with the General Directorate of Francis Robbins Upton. According to Edison, Hammer is a precursor to the electric light bulb.
