Incandescent Bulbs-Thomas Edition
Incandescent Bulbs-Thomas Edition
changed people's lives today. The most famous achievement of which is the creation of the first
incandescent electric light bulb. exactly, I am Thomas Edition. To invent this wonderful
incandescent electric light bulb, I had to experiment thousands of times and fail a lot to be able to
complete it.
Structure of an incandescent light bulb:
Includes filament, glass bulb and lamp tail
- Incandescent filament made of Wolfram, resistant to high temperatures, has the function of
converting electrical energy into light energy.
- The light bulb is made of heat-resistant glass, can withstand high temperatures, and protects the
filament
- The lamp's tail is made of copper or zinc-coated iron, tightly attached to the glass bulb, and has
the function of connecting to the electrical network supplying the lamp.
The story of the invention process:
To create light energy, Edison performed a series of experiments to find suitable materials to
make light bulb filaments. When he continuously failed and was attacked as a "paranoid" and a
"fraud", Edison remained undeterred. He remained loyal to his own wishes. Thomas Edison
failed more than 10,000 times before inventing the light bulb, but he never called them failures
but considered them opportunities to learn. and after endless efforts, I found the correct material
to make the lamp work. Finally, In January 1879, at laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, I have
succeeded in creating a filament light bulb. From then on I became famous and was considered
Purpose:
The main reason I created this electric light bulb is to improve people's lives, to make people no
longer afraid of the dark, to make people's activities at night or in dark places easier. toothpick
becomes easier and I think I can use this light bulb as an idea to invent more things.
Advantage:
Disadvantage:
- I realized that using this light bulb has many disadvantages such as it consumes a lot of
energy to generate electricity and often overheats leading to some cases of failure. I hope
