Essay on Thomas Alva Edison

American history misrepresents the origins of modern electricity and radio. Thomas Edison is often credited with sparking the Electrical Revolution that led to the electrical systems in place today, and Guglielmo Marconi for advancements in radio technology, but both of these claims are misleading. Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-born immigrant, holds over 40 U.S. patents for advancements in alternating current technology, the type of electricity most used today. The U.S. patent office and U.S. Supreme…

Nikola Tesla, the man who made our world possible. There are many rumors about whether or not tesla actually created a device that creates Free/Alternative Energy. Nikola Tesla did not create a Free/Alternative energy source because, physics would not allow it, also there is no physical evidence to prove this energy source, and most websites that claim he did are not credible. First, I need to clarify what I mean when I say Free/Alternative energy. Free energy is the creation of energy…

fire, something that would help you stay awake at night in presence of light. Burning firewood and lighting up oil lamps remained sources of light until the Nineteenth century when the Incandescent light bulb was co-invented by two scientists - Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan. Since then, the lightbulb has been the invention of the 19th century that has shined on us for generations and has contributed most to the economic growth of the United States. The lightbulb was the key to bring-about the…

Legendary Inventor 1 Thessalonians 5:21 says “but test them all; hold to what is good.”Archimedes was a marvelous scientist who wanted to discover and study.

Westinghouse two-piece, all-glass stopper lamp that was used to illuminate the Chicago World’s Fair (Columbian Exposition) in the year 1893. Thomas Edison sued George Westinghouse and other manufacturers of incandescent lamps for patent infringement but his sheer genius and resolve urge him to modify design [10]. He then started working on stopper lamp that unlike Edison invention did not use vacuum. As another design modification, his bulbs are operated at low voltage for better illumination…

Maxwell and Faraday- A Brief History of Electromagnetism The field of electromagnetism was established in 1819, twelve years before Maxwell was born. Hans Christian Oersted from Denmark was the first scientist who thought of the possibility that magnetism and electricity were related. He considered such a possibility because of the observations he made during an experiment. He Placed a wire above a compass and passed a current through the wire. He noticed that the needle of compass moved when…

After spending a couple of years in Europe travelling around, he decided to come back to America. While coming back to America from England on a boat in 1832, he met an inventor called Charles Thomas Jackson. They started discussing electromagnetism and how an electronic impulse could be carried along a wire for long distances. This gave Samuel Morse the idea of a telegraph. He started drawing sketches of a mechanical device that could improve…
