The Invention Of The Electric Light Bulb

People were so full of curiosity on how the light bulb worked. It led to everybody wanted electricity in their homes, and it began to evolve over time to what we have in this time.

In 1879, Thomas Edison invented the first incandescent light bulb in a competitive community. The invention of the electrical light bulb was built on commutative work done by previous scientists and researchers. Edison was invited to William Wallace workshop to examine the Wallace’s prototype. Edison thought that the prototype has something wrong, “I believe that I can beat you making the electrical light. I do not think that you are working in the right direction” Edison told Wallace [1]. Therefore, he decided to do make his own electrical light and there race was started. After a week of his visit to Wallace workshop, Edison was already invented the first light bulb. The success that was achieved by Edison led to a big success for his company,

The age of the Enlightenment was a time when people were coming together and creating new ideas and inventions to improve the life of the people. Many things were made during this time period, and without them life today would be very different. Examples of some of these inventions are the light bulb and the phonograph that Thomas Edison is credited with inventing. With the light bulb, our days would be cut short due to fact that people can’t see in the dark. Without the light bulb and phonograph things like TVs, cell phones, computer, and other electronic devices that people today can not live without would have never been thought of. The focus of this essay is what caused Edison to become an inventor and some of his inventions like the previously stated light bulb and phonograph.

The light bulb had already been invented before but Thomas Edison improved and perfected the light bulb. The new light bulb that Thomas invented lasted for longer periods of time .Thomas thereafter went on to invent an electrical power system, so that people would have electricity and could use the light bulbs at home.

The light bulb was an amazing invention when it was first created and it still is today except people overlooked a few things about the first light bulb - also known as the incandescent light bulb. The things that people overlooked on the incandescent light bulb was the fact that it guzzled up so much energy. Another problem with the incandescent light bulb was that it emitted carbon dioxide. One final problem with the incandescent light bulb

By doing this, it set them back. Instead of being able to advance technology wise, they were stuck with candles all because they chose not to use light

This article explained how electricity was generated in the early 1900s. Burning coal in the city centers produced electricity and also helped to heat buildings. Only people near from the city were able to use electricity because there was not way to transmit the electricity to rural areas. After a long time coal plants started to grew and people were facing difficulties because the coal plants occupied space and they also produced pollution to the city. People decided to move coal plants to the outside of the city in that way people would not be affected, they started to use transmission wires to carry electricity. Even though they did not have the same efficacy to obtain electricity they were finding a way to improve it. At the beginning of 1970 technology began to improve, so many mass-produce engines were produce and they can be located in the middle of the population, also decentralized plants were used to recycle the wasted heat. After all these benefits of the new technology, industry decided to make some changes. Electric monopolies started to charge people for the use of electricity. Later on, congress tried to open competition in 1978 and some independent power companies started to develop one site generation. This article was focused in a research on how to build new power generation providing technology, capital costs and fuel prices. After all of this significant and dramatic changes in electricity, United States was facing problems because the power industry

After he starts working in the tunnel, he invents a glass box that is similar to light. After he blows the candle “The darkness swallowed us” revealing that the electric box he created was going to help a lot of people (Rand 43). He decides to guard the tunnel as he isn’t officially allowed to invent anything without the permission of House of Scholars. What he was doing was completely against the collective society and more of what an individual would do. At last, Equality 7-2521 cannot abide the destruction of the lightbulb, so he grabs his invention and flees the council.

Over the last 10,000 years, humans have evolved more than any other species that has ever set foot on planet Earth. As a population we have grown exponentially and made changes to our society that allow us to do things that have not been done before. In 1878, Thomas Edison recognized the ability of a bamboo filament that was connected to platina wires, to burn for significant periods of time: resulting in the first formation of the light bulb. Suddenly, the human race no longer had to endure the darkness that each night brought at the end of a 12-hour light period.

Equality 7-2521 had discovered a tunnel that contained remnants of the Unmentionable Times. By performing an experiment consisting of a dissected frog hanging from a copper wire and a metal knife, he later discovered and holstered the power of the sky, or electricity. With his discovery, he performed another experiment by sticking an iron rod outside of his tunnel during a thunderstorm, learning that the power of the sky causes lightning and that it is attracted to metal (Rand 52-54). After gathering multiple materials from around the tunnel, he combined them together and placed them into a box. When Equality 7-2521 closed the current, the wires of the lightbulb glowed without the use of flint or fire, and thus the invention was reborn. The single light consumed the entire room and was far brighter than any candle. Equality 7-2521 determined that his discovery and invention of a lightbulb, a symbol of knowledge, was far greater than any man and should be shared with all of his bothers. By sharing his invention with the World Council of Scholars, he would be forgiven

Getting a full day of work in used to be impossible without the light bulb because it is really hard to see in the dark without light. When the light bulb was invented, businesses started to produce more because the workers had longer hours, with more hours being available, more job opportunities opened up. Other machines that were used in factories like the sewing machine could not be used without the light bulb being there to light the factory. The light bulb also improved education in the

In 1819, times were different .The conveniences we have now and sometimes take for granted, were not available to people back then .One of those things was the invention of the light bulb. There was a need for this invention because, before light bulbs there were oil lamps. Light bulbs helped because the light lasted longer and also because it allowed for people to do many things at night, such as work. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Edison tried thousands of different materials for his filaments, but most of them produced light or only a short time. He finally tried a carbonized cotton thread, which burned for many hours. Eventually, light bulbs were made using metal

When the first modern light bulb that ran on electricity was created by Thomas Edison who had the invention to be patented in his name on January 27, 1800(Thomas Edison's Patent Application for the Light Bulb (1880) para. 1), people finally had a way to light their homes

What was life like before Eddison? A candle, even the best candle only transferred hardly a hundredth of light from a single bulb. Today, Opening your refrigerator could provide more light than households had before the incandescent bulb. . In the 1800s when night came upon the world was a very dark place. Since they didn't have street lighting people feared going out after dark, in fear of being robbed or harmed. Rural farmers suffered the most before electricity, They had to do their farming during daylight or use a lantern. Farmers had to water and milk their cows by hand, which could take two hours. Before electricity and technology , kids played outside more. In the 1800s most light came from gaslight or candles. One man would come into

Many centuries ago people did not need much energy. Back then, people used the sun or burned wood and straw for heat. People used the wind force in sails or horses to go anywhere in the world and used animals to do the work humans could not do. Although, humans did use simple machines that could ground grain, pump water, and even utilize steam power. Steam engines transformed over time and by the 18th century the modern steam engine, fueled by coal, could do the job of a team of horses. Since steam engines were much more favorable compared to air and wind power, steam engines were used to power factories and coal was used to heat up buildings.
