Edison (1847~1931) Edison,Thomas Alva American inventor. To the creation of factory laboratories, technology development and to open up avenues of scientific research in close connection with the name lowered history. February 11, 1847 in the Ohio Mailan a Dutch immigrant family. October 18, 1931 in New Jersey Xiaolan in death. Produced only three months of formal education received. 12-year-old has done Bao Tong, hawkers, Rapporteur, to fend for themselves. Because M. Faraday effect in life science research experiments and inventions. In 1868 he invented a recording device to sell to Taiwan votes Congress, but has not been used. Edison first invented so that he did not find the market more attention to the relevance of the invention. 1869, Edison moved to New York from Boston. He improved the indicators cable companies telegraph, the recognition by the manager of the company, employed 300 US dollars monthly salary (which at the time was very high salary). 1870, moved to New Jersey to begin his efficient invention period. 1874 improved typewriters. 1876, to the latter. Bell invented the telephone with a carbon Reap route, and raised the words beep. 1876, founded his famous laboratory. In the laboratory, he broke the previous individual scientists to engage in research tradition, organized a group of professionals (including N.Tesla and others), and the subject of his assignment, a common commitment to the invention, thus creating the correct way to modern scientific research. 1877, invented gramophone, which makes him original. 1878, the study began incandescent lamp in the 10 months after many failures, October 21, 1879 in the successful location of incandescence light lights carbon silk, stable location between two days. 1882, in New York pearl Street Block communal fire was the world's second plant, built in New York Urban Electric lighting, a modern electricity system to take shape. Mar lighting achievement has not only greatly improved the working conditions of production, but also herald an era of daily life electrification forthcoming. 1883, Edison bulbs in a vacuum test, accidentally discovered the cold, there is a current hot electrode. This phenomenon was called the Edison effect, become electron tube and electronic industries. 1887, from Xiaolan government, and in the same year in a larger city, the laboratory equipment is also updated the famous Edison Laboratory (later known as the invention factory). Here, according to G. School invention, produced its own camera. 1914, by Gramophone and camera film produced by the first audio system. Old age, his inventions and innovations including batteries, cement mixer, sound recording telephone, double - and multi-type cable system, railways used brakes. First World War, he served as Chairman of the Technical Advisory Committee to guide torpedoes and anti-submarine equipment research, invented dozens of weapons. To this end, the United States government in 1920 conferred on him the Distinguished Services Medal serving, the French government awarded honorary medals to his Corps spaces. 1928, the United States Congress to grant him honorary medals. Throughout their entire life cycle, Edison and his laboratory received 1,093 patents for their invention. Edison invented many life, but he is after all a system of scientific knowledge, and thus to the development of modern technology can not make the right judgment. In the 19th century, the exchange of transmission system has emerged, but he still insisted on direct current transmission, and with G.Westinghouse Niehaus fierce competition occurred lost Niagara hydropower project contracts;He blindly testing laboratory magnetic milling equipment, the invention Electric depletion of the funds had to be abandoned. However, Edison electricity in the development, application of electric appliances manufacturing promote the contribution that he became the history of mankind's greatest inventor the world.
19世纪初,人们开始使用煤气灯(瓦斯灯),但是煤气靠管道供给,一但漏气或堵塞,非常容易出事,人们对于照明的改革,十分殷切。事实上,爱迪生为自己订定了一个不可能的任务:除了改良照明之外,还要创造一套供电的系统。他和伙伴们,不眠不休的做了1600多次耐热材料和600多种植物纤维的实验,才制造出第一个炭丝灯泡,可以一次燃烧45个钟头。后来他更在这基础上不断改良制造的方法,终于推出可以点燃1200小时的灯泡In the early 1900s. people started using gaslamps, which were supported by gas. Accidents would come quite easily as soon as the pipeline was blocked, so the enthusiasm for a new revolution of lighting was very high. In fact, Thomas Edison set up an immpossible mission himself that he would set up a power supply system, apart from the lighting improvement. With the cooperation of his coworkers, they invented the first carbon filament lamp by many experiments with more than 1,600 heat resisting and fibrous plant materials. which could last for 45 minutes. Finally, they invented the bulb which could light for more than 1,200 hours.
