A brief introduction to Edison in Chinese and English

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 - October 18, 1931) was born in Milan, Ohio, USA, and died in West Orange, New Jersey, USA. Inventor, entrepreneur.

Edison was the first person in human history to use mass production principles and electrical engineering research laboratories to engage in invention patents that had a profound impact on the world. His inventions of the phonograph, movie camera, and electric light had a great impact on the world. He made more than 2,000 inventions in his lifetime and held more than 1,000 patents.

Edison is the first person in human history to use the principles of mass production and electrical engineering research to make patents that have a profound impact on the world.?

The phonograph, movie camera, and electric light he invented have had a great impact on the world. He has invented more than 2,000 inventions in his lifetime and has more than 1,000 patents.

Extended information:

On October 21, 1879, the American scientist Edison invented the electric light, the incandescent lamp, which is a lamp that uses electricity to heat fine wires to incandescence by using resistance to emit light. Edison was the world's first inventor to use the principles of mass production and his industrial research laboratories to produce inventions. Edison has more than 1,500 patents in his name. Founded General Electric Company in 1892.

An electric light bulb, or electric bulb, its precise technical name is an incandescent lamp, is a lamp that uses electricity to heat a fine wire (usually tungsten wire in modern times) to incandescence by using resistance to emit light. . The periphery of the light bulb is made of glass, which keeps the filament under vacuum or low-pressure inert gas to prevent the filament from oxidizing at high temperatures.

It is generally believed that the electric light was invented by American Thomas Edison. But if there is serious research, another American, Henry Goebbels (Heinrich G?bel), had invented the same principle and material and a reliable light bulb decades before Edison. Before Edison, many other people had also invented the electric light bulb. He has made many contributions to inventions.

In 1801, the British chemist David electrified platinum wire to produce light. He also invented the electric candle in 1810, which used arc lighting between two carbon rods. In 1854, Henry Goebbels used a carbonized bamboo filament and placed it under a vacuum glass bottle to energize it and emit light. His invention appears today to be the first practical incandescent light bulb. The light bulb he tested at that time could last for 400 hours, but he did not immediately apply for a design patent.
