Thomas? Edison is a world-famous American inventor. He invented more than 2,000 inventions in his life and applied for more than 300 patents. He is called the king of invention. Because many of his inventions are related to electricity, electric lights, movies, record players, trams and so on. He invented it all at first, so there is also an electric world? Magician? Known as. In Thomas? On the night of Edison's funeral, the United States ordered a nationwide power outage for one minute. This is a meaningful form of commemoration, which expresses the profound understanding of Edison's life value and the gratitude and commemoration of the American people.
Thomas? Edison 1847 was born in a poor family in Milan, Ohio, USA. He is the seventh child in the family. A poor life can't restrain the curiosity and thirst for knowledge of this child with an amazing head. He once secretly took apart the clock at home and put it back. He found that hens can hatch chicks, so he climbed up the straw and landed on the eggs like a hen. Once, he looked at the birds flying freely in the sky, and a question suddenly popped up in his mind: If birds can fly, why can't people fly? He thinks balloons can fly because they are full of hydrogen. If there are a lot of gas like balloons in people's bodies, can they fly? He immediately ran to his own vegetable cellar to do experiments, and he found a powder that could produce gas. So he called a little friend and told him that he could fly to the sky after drinking this medicine. Did you take medicine? Fly to the sky? The miracle didn't happen, but the little friend's stomach ached violently, so the people in the town gave Edison one? Idiot? Nickname.
At the age of eight, Edison went to primary school. He loves to get to the bottom of things, and the math teacher teaches him. 2+2=4? He asked the teacher why. 2+2=4? ? In English class, he asked the teacher why the stars don't fall from the sky. Teachers hate it when they talk about it? Is that weird? Question, hate him? Trick or treat, think he is a complete idiot and a complete imbecile. Looks like the school can't stay. In this way, Edison's short three-month school life ended.
The mother who knew Edison's character decided to take the responsibility of educating her children by herself. She teaches children history, literature, physics and chemistry, carefully cultivates children's habit of loving learning and science, and further stimulates children's curiosity and exploration spirit. When Edison was 10 years old, he was able to read books that ordinary children could not understand, such as American history, the rise and fall of Rome, the Encyclopedia Britannica and natural history textbooks, and even read the works of Newton and Faraday, and developed a hobby of doing experiments.
Poverty at home forced Edison to become a newsboy when he was 12 years old. His job is to sell newspapers on the train. But this did not affect his keen interest in scientific experiments. He set up his own simple laboratory in the smoking room of the luggage compartment, and devoted himself to doing his own experiments whenever he was free.
This is a peaceful and often indistinguishable night. The train was speeding, all the passengers overcame their difficulties, and the originally noisy carriage became quiet. Edison, as always, in his own? The lab? At school, he started his interesting experiment wholeheartedly. The train continued to run in bumps. Suddenly, just listen? Bang? A bottle of yellow phosphorus used in Edison's experiment fell to the floor and broke, and it immediately burned. Edison shouted while putting out the fire and called the others on the train. The train avoided a terrible disaster, but Edison not only finished the laboratory completely, but also was slapped heavily by the furious conductor. These slaps made him see stars and followed his ears. Huh? Edison bid farewell to the voice of the world forever. This year, Edison 15 years old.
Although the accident made Edison lose his hearing, it failed to make Edison lose his curiosity, competitiveness and self-reliance and self-confidence. On the contrary, Edison was more active in creating conditions for arduous scientific exploration. He scrimped and saved and rebuilt his laboratory. (Historical figure) He takes time out to read various books in the library almost every day, often sitting for hours. Once, because of his deafness, Edison, who was sitting in a secluded corner reading a book, didn't hear the sound of the library after work and was locked in the reading room by the librarian. Later, it was mentioned that he said humorously: deafness is a kind of gospel. ? Yes, he is deaf because of his pursuit, and all the noise in the world can't interfere with him, so that he can devote himself more wholeheartedly to scientific research and invention. For Edison, who has a tenacious spirit of scientific exploration and indomitable will, deafness is indeed a gospel.
However, there is no royal road to scientific exploration. In order to carry out scientific research and invention, Edison was laughed at, beaten, unemployed, destroyed new clothes, and even almost blinded, but all these failed to make him afraid and flinch. He is not afraid of difficulties, drifting from place to place, and continues to persevere on the bumpy and thorny road of climbing the peak of science.
Where there is a will, there is a way. Edison's first invention, the electronic voting recorder, finally came out. However, although this invention is the fruit of Edison's sleepless nights after work, although this invention has been patented, it has not been adopted. This result made Edison realize that we should study and solve problems that are useful to people and invent and create things that are useful to people.
1869 At the beginning of this year, Edison came to new york with skillful telegraph business technology. By chance, Edison was able to show his talents and was appointed as the chief technician by a financial reporting company. In his spare time, he works and does experiments here. Sometimes he can sleep for four hours a day. Here, he developed a new type of telegraph printed in words and a quotation machine that can quickly print the gold market, and obtained a patent of 40 thousand dollars. He used the money to set up his own invention and research factory in Newark, New Jersey. From then on, Edison resigned from his official job and began to really concentrate on his invention and creation.
Therefore, practical typewriters were invented.
Therefore, double telegrams and quadruple telegrams were invented.
Therefore, an improved telephone was invented.
Therefore, the phonograph was invented.
Thus, the electric light was invented.
Thus, the sound film was invented.
As a result, more than 2000 kinds of things were invented.
Don't think that Edison's inventions are just endless. Don't think Edison is a genius. Even a genius, Edison was a genius who was deaf in both ears. Even a genius, Edison was a genius first? Dry talent? . Edison said: What is a genius? Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Sweat is dry. Edison often works all night. His wife was afraid that he was exhausted and advised him to find a place to rest. ? Where to recuperate? Find yourself a place! My own favorite place? ? Edison patted his head and said, well, I found a place I like. ? He promised his wife to leave the next day. The next day, the wife was ready to pack her bags, but she couldn't find her husband. Finally, she found him in the laboratory. He said humorously to his wife:? This is my favorite holiday resort! ?
In order to invent the electric light, Edison read a lot of books and materials, with more than 400 pages of notes and experimented with six or seven thousand kinds of materials; In order to find a material, he and his colleagues often have to work continuously for one day and one night or even several days and nights. It took Edison ten years to invent the battery. After more than 50,000 experiments, he experimented with thousands of substances. One day, Edison, who failed the experiment more than 9000 times, sat at a table full of small batteries for the experiment and thought hard. Then a friend came to see him. The friend said sympathetically and regretfully, you have done so much work, and what is the result? ? Edison smiled and answered:? Friend! My result is to know that there are thousands of things that can't be used. ?
Edison's last invention was rubber.
Edison himself was an eraser. He used his short life to improve the picture of world civilization.
Edison's most important invention was the electric light.
Edison himself is the filament in the electric lamp, constantly destroying himself, illuminating others and bringing eternal light to mankind.
Singing is also a kind of fighting and revenge.

The story of the great inventor Edison
Known? Inventor? Edison was a famous American scientist and inventor. In his life, there were only 1328 inventions registered in the patent office, and there was a new invention every 15 days in his life. Everyone must be surprised. Edison was born in humble background, lived in poverty and had no good school education. How can there be so many inventions? I think, if you listen to a few short stories about him, you will understand that his success is not due to accident, but to his strong curiosity, open mind and perseverance in adversity, and his extraordinary diligence and hard work!
Edison showed great curiosity when he was very young. Whenever he sees something he doesn't understand, he grabs the adult's skirts and keeps asking questions, insisting on asking ugly questions. When Edison was five years old, one day, he saw a hen at home. She had been staying in her nest, so he called out to catch it, but the hen cocked her head and blinked, and did not move. What's going on here? Edison picked up the hen and looked at it. Hey, there are a dozen eggs in the bird's nest. Count it. Strange, did the hen lay that egg today? He jumped up and down and ran to ask his mother. ? Mom, mom, the hen laid a dozen eggs today. What happened? Hens don't lay eggs, but are afraid of being surprised. ? Mother held Edison in her arms and said, aren't you much warmer when mother holds you? ? Edison was even more surprised. He stared and asked, mom, eggs are just like us. Will they catch a cold? ? Mother smiled and told Edison that the hen was hatching eggs. When the hen covers the egg with her body, the egg will get warm, and a chick will grow in the egg, with a small mouth, feet and feathers. Later, the chicken grew up, pecked through the eggshell, chattered and came out of the eggshell. Edison listened to his mother and ran away. Where did Edison go? An hour passed, another hour passed, and my mother didn't see Edison. How anxious she is! Looking around, ah, Edison went to his neighbor's house. He made a nest out of firewood and put many eggs in it. He squatted on the egg like a hen! He thought: If a hen sits on an egg, it will hatch a chick. If I sit on an egg, it will definitely hatch a chick!
Every invention of Edison is closely related to his curiosity. For example, after he invented the telegraph, he began to do telephone experiments. He found that the diaphragm in the microphone could vibrate with the sound, so he observed it carefully and made a detailed record in his notebook. Thus, one? A talking machine? It worked. When people heard the news, they all came to see it and called him? The greatest inventor? . Therefore, curiosity is a prerequisite for a person to succeed and show his wisdom!
Edison was broad-minded and good at facing adversity. His right ear was disabled for life in an accident, and it was inconvenient to have an injection because of deafness. He said: walking in the crowd on Broadway, I can be as calm as a person living in the depths of the forest. Deafness has always been my blessing, saving me a lot of interference and mental pain. ? 19 14 One night, Edison's film lab suddenly caught fire, which caused great losses. Edison comforted his heartbroken wife and said, Never mind, although I am 67 years old, I am not old. From tomorrow morning, everything will start all over again. I believe that no one will be too old to start working. ? The next day, Edison not only began to build a new workshop, but also began to invent a new lamp, a portable searchlight, to help firefighters advance in the dark.
Edison was very diligent and not afraid of difficulties. In order to find the filament, he tested thousands of materials; He failed to try the new battery 8000 times. So Edison often said: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent diligence. ? At the age of 80, he still maintains the spirit of an inventor and nervously carries out his own invention and creation activities. When Edison was 8 1 year old, he successfully extracted rubber from weeds and was highly praised by people.
1931018 At 3: 24 in the morning, Edison closed his eyes with a relieved smile at the age of 84. On his deathbed, he said frankly: I have done my best for the happiness of mankind; There is nothing to regret. ?

On the day of the funeral, the lights in the United States were turned off for one minute to show their condolences. This is the most solemn way for people to express their infinite memory of Edison, and it is also a silent hymn dedicated to this great inventor!
