Thomas Edison

first laboratory in Newark (Payson 33). Given his financial stability, Edison married Mary Stilwell. They were married for thirteen years until her demise in 1884. To expand his operations, he set up a research facility in Menlo Park in 1876, which formed his base for inventions. This laboratory was well equipped and, as a result, it created job opportunities to skilled personnel who could help Edison run this facility. Edison and his team made new inventions. Then, he invented the phonograph…

Edison was the inventor of the DC electrical system. While employed with Edison, Tesla assisted him with many inventions as well as improving them. After a while they had their differences and Tesla no longer worked for Edison. During this period is when AC electrical system was developed by Tesla (Nikola Tesla). The AC power system involved alternating current…

let me start off by saying that both Tesla and Edison had many inventions that changed the world in a way. They both to me in my opinion were the utmost ingenious people to put forth ideas that no one else would of thought before. If it weren't for them both we won't be holding some of the stuff that we have today, like our phones and instead of electricity something else like candle power. I would love to be an apprentice on their side for either Edison or Tesla because it would have been so…

that is still used today. In 1891 Tesla invented the tesla coil. Tesla also invented the first working radio, fluorescent light bulb, invented the remote control, and made the first hydro electric generating plan at Niagara Falls. He worked with Thomas Edison in 1884 before they parted. They parted…

Thomas Edison and Nickola Tesla were both amazing inventors of the late 19th century/early 20th century. In 1884, Tesla, who was born in Croatia, moved to the United States to work for Edison. While both were great inventors, the two were very different people. Tesla was not a good business man. He invented for the love of innovation. While Edison, in contrast, was an inventor for the business of it. Edison did not just invent a product, he invented a full systems. Each item in his system was…

Electric lighting is something many people today take for granted. Humans have always used a variety of techniques to get the light source they needed, but no invention was as successful as the light bulb. During the 18th century, candles and oil lamps illuminated most homes. While they were able to emit some sort of light, there were many drawbacks. They often lit houses on fire, created foul smelling smoke, and only gave off a small amount of light. The wealthy typically used beeswax candles…

inventor Nikola Tesla lived from July 10, 1856 to January 7, 1943, he was a well-known engineer who designed the alternating-current (AC) electric system. He was born in what is now Croatia; he came to the United States in 1884 and worked for Thomas Edison for a while before they both went their separate ways. Tesla sold several patent rights to George Westinghouse; one of those was his AC machinery. During Tesla’s career he discovered, designed and developed ideas for a number of inventions…

inventing, so much so that he ended up leaving Europe at the age of 28 to go to America. Once there, he met up with famous American inventor Thomas Edison, whom he worked under between 1884 and 1885. After his short stint working with Mr. Edison, Mr. Tesla started a corporation called The Tesla Electric Light Company that ran in direct competition with Edison. Nikola Tesla was a strong figure in shaping the early American use and understanding of electricity by giving Americans efficient means…
