It is said in the book that Edison failed to invent the electric light 1600 times before he discovered the tungsten wire and invented the electric light, but this is not the case. The real inventor of electric light is an English engineer. The electric light appeared about thirty years before Edison invented it. Edison was only seven years old at that time, but the inventor didn't think of applying for a patent.
Later, when Edison was twenty-seven years old, he saw someone filling a glass bulb with nitrogen and emitting light with a carbon rod. Originally they had the right to apply for a patent, but Edison bought it after reading it. Edison knew the market of light bulbs well and devoted all his energy to the research of light bulbs, so Edison set up his own power company and cooperated with many businesses.
Later, after many experiments, Edison finally found the legendary tungsten wire, improved the electric light and pushed it to the world. Edison was accused that the light bulb made by Edison was his patent when he promoted it, and Edison also lost the lawsuit.
But Edison did not fail. The defendant can invent, but can't do business. In order to sell electric lights, Edison brought the plaintiff to his own company and they became partners. Later, Edison bought the patent of electric light, and later Edison became the so-called inventor of electric light, which was passed down through the ages.
character trait
As a typical capitalist and asset tyrant, Edison has all the temperament of a tyrant, headstrong, suspicious, ruthless and determined. Although he is very talented, he never confides in his heart. No matter partners, competitors or many subordinates, they have not established a wide alliance with him, only oppression and extraction. ?
Edison, who was headstrong, was actually fighting alone. With his disappointing offspring, Edison went bankrupt twice in a row in the merger of enterprises, and he could only withdraw from the stage of the times. In West Orange, New Jersey, did Edison, who died in his dream, think of Tesla, Ma Keqin, and his once unknown inventors and actors?
