Thomas Alva Edison
Thomas Alva Edison was a great American inventor and businessman. Patents of 1093 inventions are registered in the name of this great scientist who is known for his greatest achievements all over the world. He is called the angel of light worldwide because of the invention of the electric bulb. His father's name was Samuel Edison and mother's name was Nancy Eliot. Edison was the youngest of the
seven children of his parents. His father tried to do all kinds of business but he did not get success in any. When Edison was seven years old, his family moved to Port Huron, Michigan, where his father was employed as a carpenter at Fort Grariot.
Edison was very weak in childhood and had a very complex personality. But his mind was always full of questions. He did not believe in anything until he himself tested it. Because of this kind of attitude, he was expelled from the school. His teacher had said that this boy's mind was completely empty.

After being expelled from school, he was educated at home by his mother, who was a teacher herself. Edison spent most of his education in R.G. Parker School and The Cooper Union School of Science and Art. Edison had trouble hearing since childhood. All this was going on ever since he had a high fever in childhood and while recovering from it, his right ear hurt. Since then he had some difficulty in hearing.
In the middle of his career, he told about his illness that a chemical caught fire while he was traveling on a train, due to which he was thrown out of the train and injured his ear. Only a few years later, he broke this story by creating a new story and started telling that when the conductor was helping him in a moving train, suddenly he got hurt in his ear
It is in the year 1862 when he played on his life and saved the station master's child from dying in a train accident. The station master was very pleased with this feat of Edison. He had nothing to give in money, but he promised to teach Edison the telegraph. Edison learned the telegraph from this man and in 1868 he got his first patent on the telegraph. In the same year he invented the vote recording machine.
The following year he moved to New York. There he also spent some time in poverty, but after a few days he got a job in the telegraph office of the stock exchange. He presented his telegraph equipment to the President of the Exchange in the hope that he would get $2,000 for it, but the President of the Exchange was so impressed with his telegraph equipment that he gave Edison $40,000 for it, which marked the beginning of his fortune.

In 1876, he established his own laboratory in Manlo Park, New Jersey. There he did so much research that he came to be called the magician of Manlo Park. Edison invented the gramophone in 1877. Edison invented the electric bulb in the same laboratory in 1879. When he was working on the electric bulb, he invented the principle of Thermionic Emission and later electronic bulbs were made on this principle.
Edison also created and contributed to cinema, telephones, records and CDs in addition to electric lighting. All his inventions are in use today in some form or the other. Based on Edison's research, the Remington typewriter was later developed. He also invented an electrically operated pen, which later developed into the mimograph. In 1889, he also developed the motion picture camera.

Edison was a great inventor, during his time he held 1093 patents all over the US, and he also has many patents in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. All these patents of his had a great influence on his inventions. He was not only a scientist but also a successful entrepreneur. He used to experiment and test the time left after his work every day. He used his imagination and memory to further his business.
Known by name. In World War I, Edison became the chairman of the Navy Advisory Board and made 40 war-useful inventions. The Panama Pacific Exhibition organized Edison Day on October 21, 1915, to honor this subgenre of the greatest number of inventions for the welfare of the world. In 1927, Edison was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences.
On October 21, 1929, President II greeted Edison as his special guest. In 1912, he was to receive the Nobel Prize with his old colleague Telsa, but Telsa refused to take the Nobel Prize with Edison, due to which both scientists were deprived of the Nobel

Prize. Keep on searching. He also considered death as the beginning of another laboratory for more serious experiments. I have completed my life's work. Now I am ready for another experiment with this feeling, this great benefactor of the world left the world on 18 October 1931.
