The history books say that Edison invented the electric light. According to the research of later generations, Edison was not the inventor of electric light, but the innovator of electric light. 180 1 year, the British Humphrey deiss has already invented it? Electric light? Energize with platinum wire, so as to electrify and emit light. 18 10 Humphrey Days made the world's first electric lamp with 2000 batteries and carbon rods, but it was too bright for home use. Later, many scientists were studying electric lights. Therefore, Edison can't be called the inventor of electric light, but can only be regarded as an improver at most.
1874, two Canadian engineers applied for electric light patents, but they lacked R&D funds. At this time Edison bought this patent and began to improve the filament. Finally in 1880? Invention? The carbonized bamboo filament bulb is introduced. Subsequently, it aroused the dissatisfaction of Swann, an Englishman, and sued Edison for infringing his patent, and won the case.
In this case, Edison wanted to own the patent right of electric light, and only Swan could be his partner. Then, Goebbels, another Englishman who held a patent for the invention of light bulbs, died. Edison found his widow again and even tricked him into obtaining Goebbels' patent. In this respect, Edison didn't really invent the electric light, but he owned the patent right. He achieved his reputation by virtue of other people's inventions and won great recognition from later generations.
Due to the wide application of electric light, Edison's wealth rose sharply and began to form his own team. There are 14 outstanding engineers, mechanics, scientists, physicists and other inventors in his team. In six years, this group of people contributed more than 400 inventions to Edison, and all of them applied for patents in Edison's name. What is Edison doing at this time? His main job is to deal with customers and often appear in the media to publicize his achievements.
It can be seen that Edison is just a businessman, but there is a team helping him with his work. ? Edison? This world-famous name is only created by this team. Edison, on the other hand, through various commercial operations, will? Edison? The brand was put on the market and deified itself.
Edison didn't invent the electric light, but he succeeded in commercializing his invention. In this respect, Edison was a successful businessman. Not only that, he is also a mercenary villain, who increases his reputation by squeezing employees and suppressing talents, such as Trass.
