Editing this life, invention and scientific journey
In p>1861, the Civil War broke out in the United States because of the liberation of slaves. Edison asked for several times more newspapers than usual to get on the train, and then increased the price to sell them, which actually made him earn a lot of money; Seeing that running newspapers turned out to be very profitable, he decided to use the money to edit and publish newspapers by himself, and named it News Week. In August 1862, Edison rescued a boy who was about to die on the train track with fearless heroism. The child's father is grateful for this, but because he has no money to reward, he is willing to teach him telegraph technology. Since then, Edison has had a relationship with this mysterious new world of electricity and embarked on a scientific journey. In 1863, Edison served as a telecommunication operator at Stratford Hub Station of the trunk railway. From 1864 to 1867, I worked as a telegraph operator in all parts of the central and western regions and lived a life similar to wandering. Footprints include Stratford, Adrian, fort wayne, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Nashville, Tennessee, Memphis, Louisville and Huron. In 1868, Edison came to Boston as a telegraph operator. In the same year, he obtained the first invention patent. This is a device that automatically records the number of votes. Edison thought that this device would speed up the work of Congress, and it would be popular. However, a congressman told him that they didn't need to speed up the agenda, and sometimes they voted slowly because of political needs. From then on, Edison decided never to make any inventions that people didn't need. In early June 1869, he came to New York to look for a job. While he was waiting to be summoned in a broker's office, a telegraph broke down. Edison was the only person there who could fix the telegraph, so he got a better job than he expected. In October, together with Pope, he set up a "Edison < P > Pu-Edison Company when Bo was young", which specializes in scientific instruments for electrical engineering. Here, he invented the "Edison universal printing press". He dedicated this printing machine to the manager of a big wall street company. He wanted to charge 5 dollars, but he lacked the courage to say it. So he asked the manager to give a price, and the manager gave 4 thousand dollars. Edison used the money to build a factory on Ward Street in Newark, New Jersey, which specializes in manufacturing all kinds of electrical machinery. He worked all night. He trained many capable assistants, and at the same time, he happened to meet the diligent Mary Stilwell, his first bride in the future. In Newark, he made inventions such as waxed paper, mimeograph, etc. From 1872 to 1875, Edison invented the double and quadruple telegraphs successively, and also helped others to make the world's first English typewriter. In the spring of 1876, Edison moved to Menlo Park in New Jersey again. He built the first "invention factory" here, which "marked the beginning of collective research". In 1877, Edison improved the telephone invented by Bell and put it into practical use. He also invented one of his favorite projects-the phonograph. Telephone and telegraph "is a revolution to expand the function of human senses"; The phonograph is one of the three great inventions that changed people's lives. "From the imagination of the invention, this is his extremely significant invention achievement." By this time, people called him "the magician of Monroe Park". When Edison invented the phonograph, he finally made a breakthrough in the study of electric light after numerous failures. On October 22, 1879, Edison lit the first electric light with wide practical value. In order to prolong the life of the filament, he tried more than 6 kinds of fiber materials again, and found a new luminous body-Japanese bamboo filament, which can last for more than 1 hours and achieve the purpose of durability. In a way, this invention is the culmination of Edison's life. Then, he created a power supply system, which enabled distant lamps to distribute electricity from the central power station, which was a major technological achievement. His first discovery in pure science appeared in 1883. When testing the electric lamp, he observed what he called the Edison effect: in the lighted bulb, there was charge from the hot filament to the cold plate through the space. Edison applied for a patent for this discovery in 1884, but did not study it further. Scientists nearby used the Edison effect to develop the electronic industry, especially radio and television. Edison tried to do for the eyes what the phonograph did for the ears, and the movie camera was born here. Using a piece of celluloid film newly invented by George Hysmans, he took a series of photos and projected them on the curtain quickly and continuously, creating the illusion of movement. He first experimented with movies in the laboratory in 1889 and applied for a patent in 1891. In 193, his company produced the first feature film "Train Robbery". Edison did a lot of work for the establishment and standardization of the film industry. After Edison moved his laboratory to West Orange in 1887, he founded many commercial companies to make products and promote his various inventions. These companies later merged into Edison General Electric Company, which was later called General Electric Company. Since then, his interest has turned to fluorescence, ore masher, magnetic separation of iron, storage battery and railway signal device. During the First World War, he developed torpedo mechanism, flamethrower and underwater periscope. On October 21st, 1929, on the 5th anniversary of the invention of electric light, people held a grand celebration for Edison, and famous scientists such as Albert Einstein of Germany and Madame Curie of France (born in Poland) congratulated him. Unfortunately, at this celebration, when Edison gave a reply, he suddenly fainted because of excessive excitement. Since then, his health has gone from bad to worse. On October 18th, 1931, the scientist who made great contributions to mankind died of illness at the age of 84. Edison's education level is extremely low, but his contribution to mankind is so great. What is the secret here? In addition to his curiosity, he has an instinct to experiment by himself, that is, he has infinite energy and courage to work hard beyond ordinary people. When someone called Edison a "genius", he explained: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% sweat, and that 1% inspiration is crucial." He organized many people from different professions in the "invention factory", including more than 1 scientists, engineers, technicians and workers. Many of Edison's major inventions were successful by this collective strength. His achievements are mainly attributed to his diligence, creativity and collective strength. In addition, his wife also played a very important role. Edison only attended primary school for three months in his life, and his knowledge came from his mother's teaching and self-study. His success should also be attributed to his mother's understanding and patient teaching since childhood, which made Edison, who was originally considered an imbecile, become a world-famous "king of inventions" when he grew up. According to statistics, there are about 1,3 inventions in Edison's life officially registered in the Patent Office. 1881 was the highest record year for his invention. This year, he applied for filing 141 inventions, and there was a new invention every three days on average. The life of the great inventor Edison tells us that great achievements come from arduous labor. Edison will not be forgotten by people as time goes by. His life is glorious and everything he has is for mankind.
