Edison for natural science is the earliest interest in chemistry. At the age of 10 fond of chemistry. He collected a hundred to a bottle, and save every penny to buy chemicals into the bottle. 11 years old, he tested his first telegram. In order to make money buying equipment and chemicals, he began to work. At the age of 12, he trains to sell newspaper work, XiuLun in PortHuron) and Hong Kong (Detroit Michigan Detroit (between). His side, and do newsmen also bring colors fruits, vegetables and business, as long as he went free library to do some reading. In 1861 the American civil war broke out, just 14 years Edison he bought an old printer, use the convenience, train a tabloid newspaper the herald (weekly) - ", to transfer news, scores and along the first issue of the magazine is in the train. He alone concurrently reporter, editing and proofreading, printing, typographical, issue of work. Tabloid, he also welcome from nervous job growth ability, knowledge and experience, but also to make a lot of money to continue chemical experiment. He earns money in the luggage cart to establish a chemistry lab. But unfortunately, once he does the experiment on the train, train, a sudden turbulence in wood, phosphorus. The conductor to extinguish the flame, also ruthlessly gave him a box on the ear, dozen deaf, he was in his ear, then cast off the train until Edison 16 years old. (another story is: unfortunately, a chemical fire him along with his equipment all thrown out. In addition, once when Edison is boarded a freight train, a conductor caught his ears to help him get on the bus. This action resulted in Edison became lifelong deaf.
Setbacks didn't make Edison frustrated, he lost the telegraph, through repeated in 1868, he invented a automatic power recorder, this is his first invention. Then again he invented the telegraph type two kinds. In 1877, he invented TanJing telephone transmitter, make the original phone voice more clear. In addition, he also invented the phonograph.
1878 September 31, Edison started research electric light. When gaslight replaced kerosene lamps, but already, and flickering flames in extinguishing produce harmful gases, After has invented, and in public places, but due to the use of combustion hissed and light shoulds not be too bright, used for indoor. Many scientists in Europe have to make a new kind of stability.
Edison announced after he studied can be invented after a satisfactory light, but need money. He has a patent for invention 170 people, he brought to the invention of the capitalist profit, so a consortium would offer him. Through thousands of failures in 1879, April he improved the previous bar and tubular lamp, make a glass sphere; On October 21, 1879, he put a fixed in the thread carbon processing glass, the air bubble inside, sealing side, the current, its light, a new kind of lighting content.
Edison died on October 18, 1931, died at the age of 84. Yet so far no one can break his invention patent 1099 holds a record, people say he is the king of the invention.
Edison's earlist interest to natural science is on Chemistry. When he was 10 year's old, he
was keen on Chemistry. He collected more than 200 bottles and saved every penny to buy
chemicals to fill in the bottles. When he was 11 year's old, he experimented his first telegraph. He began to work in order to buy chemicals and equipments. When he was 12, he got the work of selling newspaper on the train between PortHuron and Detroit of Michigan. He sold newspapers, fruits and vegetables at the same time. He went to the library as long as he had the time. When the Civial War broke out in America in 1861, Edison, who were just 14 year's old, bought an old printer. With the convenience of the train, he started a tabloid newspaper(weekly)--The Pioneer, to pass on the information about the war and along the railway. The first weekly publication was printed on the train. He worked as journalist, editor, as well as did works like typing, proofreading, printing and circulating. The tabloid was very popular and he enhanced his capablities, knowledges and experience, also earned much money. So he could carry on his chemical experiments. He set up a chemical lab on the luggage van with the money he earned. Unfortunately, once when he did an experiment on the train, the train bumped in a sudden then a piece of phosphor fell on the floor and cause a fire. The conductor came in a hurry to put out the fire and gave Edison a heavy slap on the ear and his left ear was deaf. He was driven away the train. At that time, Edison was only 16.(Another story went like this: once the chemicals was on fire unfortunately, he and his equipments were throwed out of the train. Again, when Edison made every effort to climb on a cargo train, a conductor seized his two ears to help him and this caused the deafness.)
