Thomas Edison (1847.2.11~1931.10.18), an American, came from a poor family and dropped out of school after only three months of elementary school. However, he was diligent in self-learning, good at thinking, and was fascinated by scientific experiments. He obtained 1093 patents for his inventions in his life, among which the famous ones are phonograph, electric lamp, movie camera, alkaline storage battery, etc. On October 21, 1879, he successfully made the world's first electric bulb by using carbonized coiled cotton thread as the filament. It took him nearly 3 days to put the filament into a vacuum glass bulb, energize it, and emit a gentle glow equivalent to that of 10 gas lamps that lasted for about 40 hours. He experimented with 1,600 heat-resistant materials and 6,000 types of plant fibers that he found from all over the world. He decided to use carbonized bamboo filament as the filament. This filament provided continuous light for 1,200 hours, and in 1908, Edison Electric Company employee William Creech invented the tungsten filament, which ultimately made the filament durable. In addition to his inventions and contributions to the phonograph, electric light, telephone, telegraph, film, etc., Edison had a lot of creativity and insight in the field of mining, construction, chemical industry, etc., and became a famous inventor, known as the "King of Inventions", and made great contributions to the civilization and progress of mankind, and is said to have an IQ of 160. Edison was also an entrepreneur, and in 1879, he invented a tungsten filament which was used for continuous lighting for 1200 hours. Edison is also an entrepreneur, founded in 1879, "Edison Electric Lighting Company", 1880, incandescent lamps on the market for sale, 1890, Edison has been its various businesses organized into Edison General Electric Company. 1891, Edison's thin filament, high-vacuum incandescent bulb was patented. 1892, Tom? Edison's thin-filament, high-vacuum incandescent light bulb was patented. Houston Company merged with the Edison Electric Lighting Company to form General Electric, beginning General Electric's century-long dominance in the electrical field. Note: 1093 inventions were actually accomplished by a team of scientists assembled by Edison, but the reputation was gained by Edison alone, which was actually a mistake. [edit]Biography Edison was born on February 11, 1847, in Milan (Milan), a small town in Ohio, in the Midwestern United States. His father was of Dutch descent and his mother, a former elementary school teacher, was of Scottish descent. When Edison was seven years old, his father lost money in the shingle business and moved the family to Fort Gratiot, a northern suburb of Huron, Michigan. Soon after moving here, Edison contracted scarlet fever and was ill for a long time. Edison attended school at the age of eight, but after only three months of schooling, he was dismissed by his teachers as "an imbecile" and "dull and stupid". From then on, his mother was his tutor, teaching her son to read and write. Edison had a keen interest in reading, and at the age of 8 he read the writings of Shakespeare, the most important playwright of the English Renaissance, Dickens, and many important history books, and by the age of 9 he was able to read and understand difficult books quickly, such as Parker's Natural and Experimental Philosophy. Edison's earliest interest in the natural sciences was in chemistry, which he loved at the age of ten. He collected about two hundred bottles and saved every little penny to buy chemicals to fill them. at the age of eleven, he experimented with his first telegraph. To earn money to buy chemicals and equipment, he began working, and at age 12, he got a job selling newspapers on trains, traveling between Port Huron and Detroit, Michigan. He sold newspapers while doing fruit and vegetable business, as long as he had time he went to the library to read. 1861 the United States broke out in the Civil War, just turned 14 years old Edison bought an old printing press, the use of the convenience of the train, set up a tabloid (weekly newspaper) - "Herald", to pass the war and news along the way, the first issue of the weekly newspaper was printed on the train. The first issue was printed on the train. He was the reporter, editor, typesetter, proofreader, printer and distributor. The tabloid was well received, and he grew in talent, knowledge and experience from the intense work, and earned enough money to continue his chemical experiments. With the money he earned he set up a chemical laboratory in the baggage car. Unfortunately, however, once when he was doing his experiments on the train, the train suddenly lurched, causing a piece of phosphorus to fall on a wooden board and cause it to burn. The conductor rushed to extinguish the flames, but also gave him a hard slap on the face, deafened both his ears, he was thrown off the train, when Edison was only 15 years old. (Another story is that on one unfortunate occasion a chemical caught fire and he was thrown out of the car with his equipment. On another occasion, when Edison was trying to board a freight train, a conductor grabbed him by both ears and helped him on board. (This resulted in Edison becoming deaf for life.) The setback did not discourage Edison; he became fascinated with the telegraph again, and after much study, in 1868 he invented an automatic electric recorder, his first invention. Later he invented two new types of telegraphs, and in 1877 he invented the carbon-based telephone transmitter, which made the original telephone sound clearer; in addition, he also invented the phonograph. In September 1878, when Edison was 31 years old, he began to study the electric light. At that time, gas lamps have replaced kerosene lamps, but the flame flickers, and in the extinguishing of harmful gases; arc lamps have been invented, and in the public **** place to use, but due to the burning hissing sound and the light is too bright, not suitable for indoor. At that time, many European and American scientists have been exploring the manufacture of a new stable luminous body. Edison studied the arc lamp and announced that he could invent a satisfactory light, but needed money. By then he was a man who had patented 170 inventions, and his inventions were so profitable to capitalists that a consortium was willing to provide him with funding. After thousands of failures, in April, 1879, he improved on the rod and tube lamps of his predecessors, and made a glass globe; and on October 21, 1879, he fastened a carbon-treated cotton thread inside a glass bulb, drew out the air, sealed the mouth, and applied the electric current, and it glowed, and a new kind of illuminating object appeared. Between 1880 and 1882, Edison designed electric light sockets, electric knobs, fuses, current cutoffs, meters, hanging lamps, but also designed the main line and branch system, and made the world's largest capacity at the time of the generator, and the establishment of the first power plant in New York, opened up the first civilian lighting system. Later he invented the movie camera with George Eastman. Edison's three major inventions: the phonograph, the electric light and power system, and the motion picture camera, have enriched and improved the civilized life of mankind. Edison died on October 18, 1931, at the age of 84 in West Orange, U.S.A. He was buried in the same city. No one has yet been able to break his record of holding 1,093 invention patents, and people call him the King of Inventions. Edison died of uremia. On August 1, 1931, Edison felt ill and was diagnosed by doctors as suffering from a variety of conditions including chronic nephritis, uremia and diabetes. October 13 Edison hit the "reef" and fell into a coma. 1931 October 18, Edison died at the age of 84 years.
