Edison nature

Although no schools, small Edison demonstrated the profound nature curious and always wanted to try. Before reaching school age he had to dissect animals, not to torture animals, but purely driven by a great curiosity. At the age of eleven Edison built a simple chemical laboratory in the basement of his father's house. A year later he managed to make a telegraph that although primitive but it works.

The course does not require a trial at considerable expense. To meet their needs, at the age of twelve years Edison worked as
a seller of newspapers and candy on trains operating between the city of Port Huron and Detroit. To spend some time on the train is not wasted Edison requested permission from the railroad company, "Grand Trunk Railway", to create a small laboratory in one of the train cars. That's where he experimented and read literature when not on duty.

In 1861 civil war between northern and southern states. Topic to the attention of people. Thomas Alva Edison saw this opportunity and bought an old printing equipment for 12 bucks, and then print their own newspaper called "Weekly Herald". This newspaper was first printed newspaper on the train and quite sold. Oplahnya to 400 days.

At this time Edison nearly lost his hearing due to an accident. But he did not regard it as flawed even consider it as an advantage because he has a lot of time to think than to listen to empty talk.

In 1868 Edison got a job as a telegraph operator in Boston. Spent all his spare time to conduct engineering experiments. This year he also found an electric intercom system.

Thomas Alva Edison received his first patent for the electric vote recorder tool but no one is interested to buy it so he switched to a commercial discovery. The first commercial discovery is the development of the stock ticker. Edison sells penemuaannya to a company and receive $ 40,000 cash. This money is used by Edison to open companies and laboratories in Menlo Park, New Jersey. In the laboratory findings that she gave birth to then change the lifestyle of people in the world.

In 1877 he discovered the gramophone. In this year also he occupied himself with the problem at the time was a concern of many researchers: incandescent lamps. Edison realized the importance of such a light source for human life. Therefore Edison devote energy and time, and spend as much money as $ 40,000 for the next two years trying to make the light bulb. The question is how to find materials that can shine when electrified but not burned. In total there are about 6000 materials tried. Through the efforts Edison, finally, on October 21, 1879 was born the first electric incandescent lamp capable of burning for 40 hours.

There are many other useful inventions Edison. Overall, Edison had produced 1039 patents. His discovery that seldom mentioned among others: printing telegraph, electric pen, the mining process magnetic, electric torpedo, synthetic rubber, alkaline batteries, cement mixer, microphone, carbon telephone transmitter and a moving picture projector.

Thomas Edison was also instrumental in the field of cinema. He combines photographic film that George Eastman developed film industry that generates millions of dollars as it is today. He also made the Black Maria, a mobile film studio built on spinning lines
