Thomas Alva Edison, inventor 1093 paten

Thomas Alva Edison was born on 11 February 1847 in Milan, Michigan, USA. He is the inventor, the largest in human history. The most important discovery is the light bulb, telegraph, film projectors, and the phonograph (recorder / cassette). Patented inventions amounted to 1093 units. He is the founder of General Electric, the company is now engaged in various fields including financial and penetrated into the entire hemisphere.
He was the youngest of seven brothers, of Mr. Samuel Edison, Jr.. And Mrs. Nancy Elliot Edison. His mother is a schoolteacher, and father is a merchant from grocery stores and real estate. When Thomas was 7 years old minor, his family moved to Port Huron, Michigan. He is a child who has a great curiosity (curious), and many questions.
In 1954 his parents moved to Port Huron, Michigan. Edison also grew up there. As a child Edison had to attend school only for 3 months. His teacher warned a small Edison that he could not learn in school that her mother finally decided to teach himself Edison at home. Incidentally his mother worked as a teacher. This is done because when the Edison school, including students who are often left behind and he was considered a gifted student who did not.
At the age of twelve years Edison worked as a seller of newspapers and candy on the train that runs between the city of Port Huron and Detroit. In order to spare time on the train not wasted Edison requested permission to any railroad company, "Grand Trunk Railway," to make a small laboratory in one of the railway carriage. It was there that he conducted experiments and to read the literature when not on duty.
In 1861 civil war between the states north and south. Topic to the attention of people. Thomas Alva Edison saw this opportunity and bought an old printing equipment for 12 bucks, and then print their own newspaper called "Weekly Herald". This paper is the first newspaper printed on the train and sold fairly. Oplahnya reached 400 a day.
At this time Edison was nearly lost his hearing due to an accident. But he did not regard it as a defect instead regard it as an advantage because he has a lot of time to think than to listen to empty talk.
In 1868 Edison got a job as a telegraph operator in Boston. Spent all his spare time to conduct engineering experiments. This year he also found the electric intercom system.
Thomas Alva Edison received his first patent for the electric vote recorder tool but nobody is interested to buy it so he switched to a commercial discovery. His first invention was the development of commercial stock ticker. Edison sold his invention to a company and get money for 40 000 dollars. This money is used by Edison to open companies and laboratories in Menlo Park, New Jersey. In this laboratory it later spawned the various discoveries that change the life pattern of most of the people in the world.
In 1877 he found a phonograph. In this year also he busied himself with the problems at that time to the attention of many researchers: incandescent lamps. Edison realized how important such a light source for the life of mankind. Edison therefore devote all her energy and time, and spend money as much as 40,000 dollars over the next two years to make the light bulb experiment. The question is how to find materials which can be incandescent when electrified but not burned. In total there are about 6000 materials tried. Through the efforts Edison, finally on October 21, 1879 was born the first electric incandescent lamp capable of burning for 40 hours.
There are many other useful inventions Edison. Overall Edison has produced 1039 patents. His discovery is rarely mentioned among others: printing telegraph, electric pen, the mining process of magnetic, electric torpedo, synthetic rubber, alkaline batteries, cement mixer, microphone, carbon telephone transmitter and motion picture projector.
Thomas Edison is also credited in the film. He combines photographic film that George Eastman had developed into the film industry that generates millions of dollars as it is today. He also makes the Black Maria, a mobile film studio built in the spinning line.
Passing through the 1920s his health deteriorated and he died on October 18, 1931 at the age of 84 years. (An)

We should learn from him, without him we are dark. He always insulted, humiliated before his name became great, but he continued to rise and try to create something that could change the world, and we have much to learn more.
