An article about Edison's life and inventions
Adams Melton writes that one day Edison bought all of Faraday's works, and sitting at night Immersed in the study of this height and slept there, When I woke up in the morning, he was sitting and reading. Then we both went out for breakfast, we were going to a hotel about a mile away Everything which Edison read had inflamed his mind He told me, "Adams, I have so much work to do." And life is so short that I have to hurry After saying that, he started running for breakfast.

very old and modern inventions of science |
He proved this belief by working all the time That he only stopped at mealtime. Everything seemed strange to Edison. He experimented with pharmaceuticals and suggested a program for the comfort of the people, He came very close to the invention of the radio and he predicted the use of nuclear energy Edison always tried to make such things Which can work in normal ways without deteriorating and easily repaired them and improved the inventions of others.
What was Edison's date of birth?
On February 11, 1847, Edison was born in Milan, Ohio; Samuel Edison and Nanny Edison were the seventh children. Edison's parents were grandparents and his mother was from Canada. The family immigrated to the United States from Amsterdam in the year 2000, Because of the boy's curiosity and interest, his family called him Alva. Elva kept asking them questions, “how does a chicken hatch from a hen's egg? What makes a bird fly? Why does water put out fires?”, Even her school teacher could not answer some of her questions, if no one could answer his question So he would try to find the answer by experimenting. One day Elva realizes that balloons fly because they are full of gas, so he gave a boy three tablets of Suddlet Suffolk. Elva was sure that when the boy's stomach filled with gas Then it will start flying but instead the boy felt unwell and lay down on the ground. And the world began to feel like it was spinning in front of him.
At the age of 7, Elva moved to Horan Mack with her parents. Where his parents started a scrap and grain business. Edison entered a public school and he quickly disturbed the teacher by asking too many questions. The teacher used a heavy leather whip to hit the children with questions, one day, Elva heard the teacher tell the district school inspector that Edison's son was dirty. And is incapable of reading, Elva ran home and told his mother She would go straight to the teacher and tell him in amazing words (Elva has more intellect in the little finger than the whole body of the teacher) And he stopped her from going to school Thus, Elva Edison's formal education lasted only three months.

His mother intended to teach him through sports Which were considered unusual at the time His mother made reading a game for him, at first, he was surprised but later very happy Soon he began to learn fast.
When Elva was 9 years old, so his mother brought her a chemistry book written by Richard Bay Parker Who was a famous teacher in the middle of the 19th century Elva Edison refused to accept his writings He repeated every experiment himself to disprove the author. Elva had over a hundred bottles of various chemicals He kept his family members away from them He had written poison on all the bottles. Charles Bachelor, a friend of Elva, says (When I returned one night, I saw Edison sitting there.) And next to it is a pile of alchemy and other books. Which is about five feet high He ordered it from New York, London, and Paris, He studied them day and night in six weeks he had seen all the books and prepared a book based on their summaries He had also done many experiments on formulas. Between the ages of 9 and 12, he read many books, including Hume's History of England, The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, Potter's Decoration of the Sciences, and Teuton's Principle of Teacher Philosophy.
At the age of 12, he got a job as a train boy in a grenade trunk train. He sold newspapers, candy, tea, and peanuts on the train (which ran between Port Huron and Detroit). In his extra time, he experimented with his chemicals in an empty train car. He even bought a press and started publishing his own newspaper (Weekly Herald) It quickly became popular because of its uniqueness.
Alva's chemical experiments one day got Alva in trouble. One day a flame erupted in the pen of Phosphorus, as a result, a fire broke out in the trunk of the train at that moment, the conductor punched Elva in the ear and threw it out of the box, along with its chemicals, printing presses and other items Alva had to be deaf in one ear due to this incident Elva, however, attributes her deafness to another incident, when he was trying to get into a moving car. The conductor grabbed him by the ear and pulled him onto the platform. a few years later Edison said (I felt something break in my head) My deafness began at that time and then it kept growing.
However, Edison was not completely deaf. But in recent years, he could hardly hear screams. The operation could have ended his deafness. But he refused to have surgery, Edison didn't mind being deaf. Rather, he thought of it as an easy way to get one, At one point, Edison barely escaped death due to an ear defect. It so happened that Edison bought a large pile of old books for 2. And he took the books and left for home at three in the morning. On the way, a guard saw him, and thinking he was a thief, he ordered him to stop. But Edison could not hear because he was deaf the guard fired, but the bullet passed close to Edison's ear, in this way, this great inventor escaped being targeted.
What Happened to Ham in Space? *Sad Story of Ham*
After a fire broke out in a train car, Elva started selling newspapers at stations. One day at Clemens railway station, Elva saw a freight train heading towards the employee's son. Elva saved him from an accident The station employee thanked him and taught him to use the telegraph, At the age of 12, Elva got a telegraph job at Ontario Railway Station in Canada. It was his responsibility to send a telegraph message to Toronto every hour Edison thought it was a waste of time He attached a part of the machine to the clock, which automatically sends a message every 1 hour. Even if he was asleep. This was Edison's first invention, When the superintendent found him asleep, he fired him, In the fall, Edison returned to the United States. And during the Civil War, as a telegraph operator, he searched in detail from one city to another.
Early inventions:
Edison worked as a telegrapher in Boston, where he completed his first invention, which he wanted to sell It was an electronic voting recorder Which was very similar to the machine used in the legislation of different states. Which recorded the votes of the members of the Assembly on a large board, Elva Edison took him to Washington and tried to sell Congress. A committee listened to him but the committee chairman told him that the machine was not a priority for Congress: It takes 45 minutes to attend. In that time, we can trade these votes Your machine should have made it useless, Elva Edison was outraged by this behavior and said that she would not invent anything that was not needed. And he made his words come true, after that time, he immediately devoted himself to the needs of the world.
When he returned to New York from Boston He had nothing, He was allowed to sleep in the office of an employee of the Golden Dick Company. Alva Edison spent most of his time understanding the stock ticker. It was a telegraph-type machine. The company used brokers to determine the price of gold. A few days later the stock ticker broke And Edison surprised the manager by fixing it Because everyone else had failed to fix it, At the same time, the manager offered him a 300-dollar job as a supervisor, which was a large amount at the time.
Edison's busy mind continued his experiments on the stock ticker. It improved so much that Gazelle Marcel Lefferts, president of the Golden Stock Telegraph Company, expressed interest. Lefebvre sent a message to Edison asking how much he would charge to patent his stock ticker. Edison decided to ask for a dollar of 5,000 and accept up to 3,000. He said hesitantly, "Well, suppose you offer me. "Lefferts thought for a moment and then said, "Do you accept $10,000 ($228,700 in today's dollars)?" For a moment, it was difficult for Edison to control himself He grabbed the table to keep himself upright and softly said yes! I think it will be fine.
The Magician of Menlo Park:
Edison set up his first workshop in Newark, New Jersey, with money from Lefferts He improved the typewriter's steel components by replacing them with wood He also corrected the spelling of words and the distribution of ink Edison made the typewriter much better, the machine-made typing faster by hand. In 1876 he came to Menlo Park. That same year, he improved the telephone by adding carbon transmitters This was a very important step in making the telephone work. Before this change, people had to speak very loudly on the telephone.

The phonograph or record player invented by Edison |
The idea for the phonograph came to him when he was trying to find ways to automatically record telegraph messages. He wanted to record messages on a paper disk placed on a rotating plate That disc rotated just like today's phonograph Edison learned from his telegraph experience how diaphragms are made. Or how the disk vibrates Which reacts to sound waves He made a toy in which a funnel was attached to a cab at the end was a piece of paper in which the toy man was holding a saw. When Edison played the funnel and the man began to cut wood Edison decided that he could record these waves in addition to moving something. He can then recreate the words he says twice Edison made a sketch and it is to be handed over to the foreman of his workshop. Crosby studied, but he was confused He was asked to make something that was neither chemical nor electrical, but mechanical. In general, Edison has never invented anything that is completely mechanical. Crosby couldn't imagine what made Edison make this device. He took it and made it.

Russian electrical engineer Paul Jab low Kofi illuminated Paris's markets with Arclight's. But Edison wanted small lights that could be used in homes and offices. In fact, he wanted an alternative to gas, which was the main source of light at the time.

Edison finally discovered the successful principle of electric light |
Edison finally discovered the successful principle of electric light. It took him two years to find the perfect filament Which can be illuminated by the passage of electricity. He sent one employee to Amazon and another to the jungles of Japan in search of a strong flamingo. He tested about three thousand things for flaming.
After much effort, Edison finally succeeded in inserting a carbonized thread filament into the bulb. The bulb gave a very good light The precious bulb was burning until dawn. He burned all day Finally, at one o'clock in the morning, Edison decided to raise the voltage Which lit the bulb. Edison's invention of electric flashing light shocked the world Edison became known around the world as the magician of Menlo Park. Edison obtained a patent for electric lighting in January 1880. Edison did more than 80000 experiments to invent the bulb.
Edison moved to West and NJ's large, state-of-the-art laboratory in New Jersey There he spent most of his time completing his inventions He organized several companies to develop his inventions. Eventually, Edison began working on animated films and films. He created a camera based on the inventions of George Eastman and others Edison combined the phonograph and the camera to create talking pictures The machine showed some flaws and Edison put it aside Others later corrected the flaws At first people thought animated films were a toy, but Edison saw them in the hope that they would be a means of education. He predicted that one day it would change other ways of teaching.

Some of his later inventions included a storage iron TC meter, a cement mixer, a Ducat phone, and a photocopier. Until his first patent invention (a method of making synthetic rubber from the Golden Rod plant), Edison continued his participation in society at the same pace. He died in West Orange on October 18, 1931, at the age of 84.
Edison's friends:
Edison had no close friends. He often enjoyed living with Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, and John Burrows. But he worked so hard for hours that he didn't have much time for friends. Throughout Edison's life, his work has been his true joy and friend.
Edison was a music lover. Despite being deaf, he claimed to be able to hear the phonograph speaker with his skull. Edison was not a religious man but he believed in great intelligence. He once told his friend that although he was known in the world as a great inventor, he could not make even a simple thing in life.
Edison's most important work for the world was not only the invention of electric lighting, but he also mapped the world's first power plant to reach millions of people.
