Electric Bulb
The inventions of Thomas Alva Edison is incomplete without talking about the light bulb. Edison himself wasn’t the original innovator of the light bulb, but he was the one who created the technology that made it suitable for public use. An English innovator named Humphry Davy was the innovator of the veritably first electric lamp in the 1800s. It was Davy’s invention that sparked Edison to produce his own. Edison wasn’t the first to embark on this trip. In fact, numerous scientists before him had tried to produce electric light bulbs using a vacuum, but all had failed. Edison began by copping the patented design of two of these former scientists, named Woodward and Evans, with the stopgap of perfecting on it. In 1879, Edison secured a patent for his own light bulb design, which he also went on to manufacture and vend for marketable use.
In January 1880, Edison began developing a specific company that would be devoted to supplying electricity to power and light metropolises around the world. This company was the ‘ Edison Illuminating Company ’, which would latterly come General Electric.
Edison was suitable to spend so important time on this invention because, thanks to his character as a successful innovator, he had the support of some leading financiers of the day. J.P. Morgan and the Vanderbilts established the Edison Light Company and advanced Edison$,000 for exploration and development.
