Today is the birthday of a great inventor and businessman of the world who had established his lab at the age of ten. They have 1093 inventions patents, while they have invented more than 3,000 inventions. All their inventions are a great gift to the world. Despite his childhood going through extreme poverty, his courage never got reduced.
To illuminate the world, they had discovered the lightning bulb, which is considered to be the biggest discovery of them. Yes, here we are talking about American inventor and businessman Thomas Elva Edison. He was born on today, on February 11, 1847, in the Milan region of the US state of Ohio. Shortly after his birth, his family shifted to Porat Huron in Michigan.
Thomas, born in a poor family, not only made many big inventions but also created a company named after General Electric, which is one of the largest companies in the world today. Thomas Elva passed away on 18 October 1931 in West Orange, New Jersey. Thomas had done almost all his major searches between 1879 and 1900. Along with the generic electric company, they had become rich businessmen.
School was missed in three months
When this great inventor went to school, he was not well in studies. Actually Edison was a brainchild of students. They had strong desire to know everything about them. That's why his mind wandered and he could not concentrate on studies. His teachers used to think that he is retarded. When Edison's mother came to know of it, she took Thomas out of school after three months. After this he arranged to teach at home only.
The first lab made at the age of 10
When Thomas was only nine years old, his mother gave him a science book. It was told how to make chemical use at home. Thomas liked that book very much. In order to do the experiments given in the book, Thomas had established his first lab in his home basement at the age of 10. Here he did all the experiments given in the book. In addition, they saw the experiments in different ways.
An accident has changed the world
To run the house, Thomas Elva had to sell vegetables, candy, and news paper at a very young age. During this time he saved the child from coming down the train in an accident. At that time his age was about 14 years. The father of that child pleased Thomas Alva with the training of a telegraph operator and also got a job. From here on, his world of inventions began to be officially started. He used to work in the night shift, so that he could work on his inventions throughout the day.
Greed was to have to be removed from the lab
Thomas's interest towards inventions can be judged by the fact that he was so busy in his lab that he used to lure the money to get him out of the basement. In the greed of money, Thomas used to get it so that he could buy more chemicals for his discoveries. They used to spend all the money they had deposited to use all the books given by the mother. No labels should be taken from the lab, so Thomas kept them labeled poison.
The first patent made in 22 years
Thomas made the first patent vote recorder machine at the age of 22. Until then, in the American Parliament, there was no cure system to count voicemail. So Thomas thought to make a Vote Recorder Machine. Through this, every legislator or MP had to switch on the machine to vote on a bill. In this way his vote was recorded, later the machine counted the votes. These techniques are still used today for voting on bill, etc in many parlances of the world, including America and India.
Still retains the secret of his tattoo
Thomas had a five-dot tattoo on his left arm, which he gave information to when he took the policy in 1911 from an insurance company in New York. Thomas created a device named Stencil Pens for tattoos. It is believed that Thomas himself used tattoos on his arm to use that device. Although there is no evidence of it, so where Tattoo came from Thomas's arm, it is an unresolved secret. Later on this machine Samuel Orelli worked and made her the world's first tattoo machine.
This important finding of Thomas had scared him
In 1895, Wilhelm Conroyt Röntgen discovered X-rays. With the help of this X-ray image could be seen without the help of a device. The name of that device was the fluorescope, which had a fluorescent screen. Thomas asked one of his inventor Clarence Daly to make a fluorescope. His invention was so successful that even today, this fluoroscopy is used to see X-ray films in hospitals.
Until then X-rays were not considered dangerous. So, Clarence used the X-ray tube on her hands and tested it. For this reason, in 1900, his wrist became a dangerous wound, causing his hand to be cut. After some time his second arm had also been cut. Despite much treatment, his condition deteriorated and Clarence died from cancer. After this, Thomas was so scared of invention that he stopped working on it. In 1903, Thomas mentioned his fear in an interview that he was also close to losing his eyesight at that time.
10 thousand times in the form of bulb failed
For this search Thomas had to work hard and he failed more than 10,000 times. Thomas had said that I had never failed, but instead I got 10,000 such paths that I did not work. For the first time, 40 thousand dollars was spent in making the bulb. Three thousand people were gathered in New York to see 40 electric bulbs burning together. After this, Pearl Street Power Station was opened in New York to deliver electricity to the customers. Thomas developed more resistant carbon thread filament, which lasted 40 hours.
