Biography Thomas Alva Edison

Thomas Alva Edison is an entrepreneur and also one of the greatest inventors in the United States (US). He made a major contribution to the world thanks to his inventions, namely incandescent lamps in addition to electric generators, sound recorders, and films.

1. Childhood

    Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. He is the youngest of seven children, the son of Samuel Ogden Edison Jr and Nancy Matthews Elliott. Little Edison was only in school for a few weeks before his mother pulled him out and decided to teach him himself. At that time, his teacher warned Edison that he was seen as a student who was often left behind, was not smart, and was considered not talented. During his mother's tutelage, Edison's education was obtained from RG Parker's School of Natural Philosophy and The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. At the age of 11, Edison, who was self-taught, showed great curiosity by reading various books.

2. Early Career

    The Edison family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, after the canal owner successfully pulled the railroad from Milan in 1854, and made Edison Senior lose his job. At the age of 12, young Edison was able to convince his parents to let him sell newspapers on Detroit's Port Huron seventh railroad. He became a telegraph operator after saving three-year-old Jimmie MacKenzie from being stuck on a train track. Jimmie's father, JU MacKenzie, was so grateful that he decided to teach Edison to be an operator. His first assignment was on the Grand Trunk Line, Stratford Junction. During his tenure, he also spent his time conducting experiments in the laboratory located on the train. He gets the exclusive rights to sell newspapers on the train. With four assistants, he published the Grand Trunk Herald. In 1866 at the age of 19, Edison moved to Louisville and worked for Western Union and the Associated Press news agency. He asked for a night picket so he could do two of his favorite things; read and experiment. But his penchant for disasters. One night in 1867, he was experimenting with battery batteries when he spilled sulfuric acid on the floor, which seeped up to his boss's desk, and got him fired.

3. Become an inventor

    When he was 22 years old, he moved to New York and developed his first invention called the Universal Stock Printer. This tool can uniform a number of stock transactions. The Gold and Stock Telegraph company was very impressed with his work. They pay for the copyright of 40,000 US dollars. With that success, he decided to devote all his time to experimentation. By the decade of the 1870s, he gained a reputation as a first-class inventor. 1870, he founded a small laboratory in Newark, and employed a number of assistants. 

    Then in 1876, he expanded his company to Menlo Park, New Jersey, and established an industrial research facility. At that time, Western Union asked him to develop a communication tool that could rival the telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell. He didn't do it. Even so in December 1877, Edison developed a sound recording method known as the phonograph. 

4. Incandescent lamps

 

    In 1878, Edison began to develop an electric lighting system, something he hoped to compete with traditional kerosene and gas lamps. Incandescent lamps are his main concern. Many inventors such as Alessandro Volta, Henry Woodward, and Mathew Rvans tried to develop it. However, the incandescent lamp is considered to have disadvantages because in addition to being expensive, it only lasts a short time. After many experiments, he began to focus on the incandescent material of carbon filaments and the first successful test October 22, 1879. At that time, the lamp successfully lasted for 13.5 hours. He continued to refine his designs and on November 4, 1879, registered the patent. A few months later, Edison and his team found a better material in bamboo carbon, and made the lamp last up to 1,200 hours. January 1880, he founded a company that could distribute electricity for daily use and illuminate the city. In the same year, he founded the Edison Illuminating Company which later changed its name to General Electric Corporation. 1881, he left Menlo Park to set up facilities in several places where substations and power lines were being prepared. In 1882, Pearl Street substation station provided 110 volts of electricity to meet the needs of 59 customers in the side Manhattan area.

5. Business and Other Inventions

    In 1887, Edison built an industrial research facility in West Orange, New Jersey, which became the center for the development of his power company. He spent most of his time supervising lighting technology and electrical systems, as well as refining phonographs and developing motion pictures or films. In the 1890s, he built an iron ore processing plant in northern New Jersey which proved to be a commercial failure.

    As the auto industry began to expand, he developed a battery that could power Henry Ford, who was a friend of his. In 1912, he invented the starter battery for the Model T car, and the system was used in industry for decades. During World War I, he was asked by the US military to develop equipment. Edison designed submarine detectors as well as techniques for mapping the location of enemy artillery. Since Edison was against violence, he only agreed to make tools for defensive purposes. "I am proud because I never made a tool to kill," said Edison at the time.

6. Death

Edison died on 18 October 1931 at the age of 84 at his home, Glenmont, in Llewellyn Park, West Orange due to complications from diabetes. Companies and communities around the world turn off their lights and electricity as a tribute to the great inventor.
