It's good.
Edison liked to use his head since he was a child. When something happens, he should ask why and try it himself. When I was six years old, I saw a hen hatching eggs and asked what it was for. Mother said that this is a hen hatching eggs with her own body temperature. One day Edison suddenly disappeared. The adults looked around and found him lying in the haystack with some eggs in his arms. They asked him what he was doing. Answer: incubating eggs. My parents laughed and shed tears. After entering primary school, once the teacher was talking about arithmetic and wrote 2+2=4 on the blackboard, Edison immediately stood up and asked why it was equal to 4, which caused the whole class to laugh. The teacher really couldn't say why, and he was so angry that he called Edison an idiot. When Edison came home, he told his mother about his grievances at school. His mother used to be a teacher. She felt that such a teacher couldn't teach students well, so she left school in a rage and taught him to study. Three months of primary school became Edison's only academic qualification. Edison, who taught himself at home, asked his mother if he didn't understand any questions. His intelligence soon showed up, and he read many classic books at the age of 9. At the age of eleven, he studied the encyclopedia of science and Newton's works. At the age of twelve, he looked for a job outside, sold newspapers, worked as a telegraph operator, and used the little money he earned to buy medicine for experiments. At the age of twenty-one, he was hired by Western Union and began to study Faraday's electrical experiments. Since then, he has been dealing with electricity and immersed in experiments all day. At the age of 22, he got $40,000 for inventing the stock quotation machine, and then he got $100,000 for a patented invention. So he stopped fighting piecemeal and single-handedly, so he chose Menlo Park in New Jersey, built a large laboratory, hired various experts and craftsmen, and began to build a scientific kingdom. His requirements for the laboratory are: a small invention in ten days and a big invention in half a year. Sure enough, there were 1328 inventions registered in the patent office in his life. From his birth to his death at the age of 84, an invention was invented every 1.5 days on average. Edison famously said, "Genius is ninety-nine percent perspiration and inspiration", and his greatest pleasure in life is working.

Thomas Alva Edison, a businessman (1847 February1-1931year1October 18), an American inventor and businessman, developed. Awarded the title of "Menlo Park's Wizards" by newspaper reporters, he is the first inventor in the world to use the principle of mass production and his industrial research laboratory to produce inventions. Edison is considered to be the greatest inventor in the contemporary era. He registered 1093 patents under his name. Most of the inventions are not original, but some other patents are improved, but in fact many of them were invented by many of his employees. Therefore, Edison is often criticized for not sharing these advantages. However, Edison obtained patents from many countries, including the United States, Britain, France and Germany. General Electric Company was founded in 1892, and later became the largest company in the United States: General Electric Company, with 244 14 patents including Edison's 1093 patent. 1908, Edison founded the film patent company, an enterprise group composed of nine film studios. In the early 1960s, Edison bought a villa in Formel, Florida as a shelter from the cold. Henry Ford, the car king, lives opposite this villa. He is also a good friend of Edison.

[3][ Editor] Menlo Park Picture Reference: zh. * * */Skins-1.5/mon/images/Magnify-clip Edison's Menlo Park Lab moved to Greenfield Village in dearborn, Michigan. (Pay attention to the equipment in the back wall) Edison's main invention was built in Menlo Park, New Jersey. It is the first institution to set specific goals, aiming at guiding continuous technological innovation and improvement. Although many employees do research and development in his direction, most of the inventions there are legally attributed to Edison. William Yue Se Hammer, a consulting electrical engineer, began to work as an experimenter under Edison in February 1879. He assisted in the experiment of telephone, phonograph, circuit, iron ore separator and electric lighting equipment, and developed other inventions. However, the hammer is mainly responsible for testing and recording incandescent lamp equipment. 1880 was appointed as the chief engineer of Edison lamp. In his first year in office, under the leadership of general manager Francis Robbins Upton, the factory built 50 cars.
000 lights. According to Edison, Hammer was "the pioneer of incandescent lighting equipment". Most of Edison's patents are public patents. In Edison's life, inventions protected by patents in 17 included electronic, mechanical or chemical products. About 12 items are design patents, and one decoration design has been protected by 14 years. Most of his inventions are not completely original, but improvements on products that have been invented but are not perfect. The first few were phonographs, and the phonograph patent was the first device to record and reproduce sound. Edison didn't invent the first electric light bulb, but he invented the first incandescent lamp that could be actually used in business. Some early inventors have developed some designs, including the patents he bought from Henry Woodward, Matthew Evans, Moses G Fama, Yue Se Swan, James Bowen Lentesy, William Sawyer, humphry davy and Henry Goldberg. The products of these inventors have shortcomings such as short life, high production cost and large channel current, and are only suitable for satisfying the curiosity of laboratories. In 1878, Edison used thin wires to transmit luminous wire elements (used by British inventor Yue Se Swan before). Edison adopted the characteristics of these old designs and arranged for his workers to create durable light bulbs. Before 1879, he had a new concept: a high-resistance lamp would burn for hundreds of hours in high vacuum. When Alexandra Volta, an earlier inventor, produced electric lighting equipment in 1800, Edison focused on commercial applications, and extended this concept to families and enterprises through mass production of relatively durable light bulbs, and created a complete system of electric power production and distribution. Menlo Park Research Laboratory may be able to cope with the sales of the "Quadruple Communicator" invented by Edison in 1874 (four signal communicators can be sent at the same time on the same wire). When Edison made an offer to Western Union, he was shocked by the unexpected huge sum offered by Western Union-the patent right was sold at the price of 10.
000。 The quadruple communication machine was Edison's first financial success.

Then he said, "We will make electricity cheaper, and only the rich will light candles. [Source Request] 1883,/kloc-0 10 On October 8th, the US Patent Office ruled that Edison's patent was based on the work of William Sawyer, so it was invalid. The lawsuit lasted for almost six years, until June 6, 1889+ 10, when the judge ruled that Edison's request for electric light improvement was legal. In order to avoid a possible lawsuit with Yue Se Swan, he and Swan set up a joint venture company named "Eddis Swan" in Britain to sell inventions. Other inventors who designed electric lamps included Serbian inventor nikola tesla, who wanted to ignite radio bulbs from side electrodes by radio frequency electroplating under the Tesla effect. He also plans to develop a wire to refocus energy from the glass shell back to the center of the light bulb, and then use the center "button" to emit incandescent light to ignite the light bulb. Although Tesla invented fluorescent lighting, Edison's design won at this time. Edison obtained the patent of power distribution system in 1880, which was very important for the invention of electric light. My first investment in all electrical industries was 1882 new york Pearl Street Station. 1On September 4th, 882, Edison opened the world's first power distribution system at Pearl Street Power Station, providing 1 10 volt direct current (DC) to 59 customers in lower Manhattan. On June 9, 2009, the first standardized incandescent lamp system using top wires was put into use in Roselle, New Jersey.
