Incandescent light bulb

It’s crazy how the weeks fly by when I start a new class. I can’t believe we are ending week three already! This week has been busy for me, but I enjoyed every assignment in this class. I am glad I chose this class when I was deciding on classes for the fall semester. One of my favorite activities in this class so far is the current events assignments. I love how we get to research a recent article that shows historical significance, summarize the article, give our opinions/thoughts on the…

to be some type of reasoning for me being here. I believe in destiny, the type of destiny where everything happens for a reason. It might not be a big reason or I might not leave earth with a big impact like Thomas Edison did when he created the light bulb. But I believe that all my actions have a reasoning for them. I may not know all the reasoning and they may not be all good, but that’s what makes life so interesting. To where there’s an action there always a reaction. I believed in destiny…

reminds me of a bulb, not because the Studer Group and Foundation carries his name has a bulb in the logo, on the contrary, it encourages to “be the bulb.” As described by Cokeley in (2012) an electric current flowed through a filament of carbonized thread and brought the world into light on New Year’s Eve 1879. It was Edison’s vision, and willingness to share that created dynamic change. Both Edison and Studer are exemplar they set raised bar, and have offered (Psalm119:105) light unto the path…

immigration, unthinkable working conditions, and crowded cities. People who seemed to bring hope where the inventors, like Edison. Thomas Edison brought hope to the nineteenth century and people today with his brilliant mind and invention of the light bulb. The nineteenth century was the time of the Industrial Revolution. The century was filled innovation and discovery in many subjects. Many of the inventions that were created during the nineteenth century change American history forever…

Jane Addams, born in Cedarville, Illinois in September of 1860, broke many borders as a woman of her time. She is best known for her efforts in creating peace as well as advocating equality for women. She is represented today and in American history by the many organizations she established: the International League for Peace, Woman’s Peace Party, Juvenile Protective Association, and American Civil Liberties Union. Addams had strong opinions about the idea of peace reaching the farthest corners…

Week 4 Family and Friends Task 7 – Ten suppressed inventions Suppressed inventions are inventions that have been put an end to it by force. Wardenclyffe Tower is one of the suppressed inventions developed by Nikola Tesla. It could successfully send wireless electricity to any part of the world in abundance (Free Energy, n.d.). Although it has been suppressed because the funding for it was cut by J.P. Morgan, who also ostracized any further funding from any other organizations. Wardenclyffe tower…

extraordinary talent. He have created for us the electricity, light bulbs, and etc., and his name is Thomas Alva Edison and he saw a future and Edison left a remarkable impact on the American society and worldwide, he changed a lot of inventing this technology we have been for years now. Also, he was the first Americans to invent something which wasn’t done before. There are many things which Edison have created, but I would say that the light bulbs and electricity were the most important which…

Once he returned home he began drawing the plans for his electrical telegraph. His first model was composed of a wooden frame, which would hold an electromagnet, paper, and a marking pencil suspended from a pendulum. The pencil would mark on the paper as the electric circuit was opened and closed. What is now known today as Morse code is what Samuel Morse created when he used dots and dashes in his telegraph. To continue his experiments and research he needed financial support. Fortunately,…

demonstration of the device in April 1878. After this rousing success, he developed and began producing the electric light bulb with the help of William Joseph Hammer. His greatest advancement in the technology was to use a bamboo filament that could last over a thousand hours for home use rather than for exclusive areas. This development helped Edison create the Edison Electric Light Company in 1878, which capitalized on the suddenly universal product (Biography Online,…

the age of 28 to go to America. Once there, he met up with famous American inventor Thomas Edison, whom he worked under between 1884 and 1885. After his short stint working with Mr. Edison, Mr. Tesla started a corporation called The Tesla Electric Light Company that ran in direct competition with Edison. Nikola Tesla was a strong figure in shaping the early American use and understanding of electricity by giving Americans efficient means of transporting electricity…
