-Light Bulb Tattoo: The Experiments

During the development process, Thomas Alva Edison carefully analyzed the gas lamps and arc lamps at the time, and his main direction was to find a heat-resistant material. The electric current burns it to the degree of incandescence and emits hot light without breaking or melting. He accidentally discovered that the cotton thread burned to ashes in the air, and the carbon cotton thread was placed in the treated glass ball and glowed. Unfortunately, the light only lasted a few minutes before disappearing. He erroneously gave up this experiment and instead tried 1,600 different heat-resistant materials such as cesium, nickel, platinum, and platinum-iridium alloys, with little gain.

Thomas Alva Edison returned to the study of carbon. In October of that year, he tested a carbon rod with a length of 20 cm and a diameter of 0.15 cm, and its heat resistance reached 5.5 hours. He continued to improve the carbonization method and exhaust treatment.

The illuminance was 4 candles for 1 hour, 2 hours... For 45 hours. After more than a year of hard work and thousands of trials, the long-awaited electric light was finally born.

On New Year's Eve in 1880, 3,000 people took to the streets of New York to watch this new invention. Success did not stop Thomas Alva Edison. In the second year, he made a bamboo lamp that could be continuously lit for 1,200 hours.

-Light Bulb Tattoo: The Age of Electricity

Before the invention of the light bulb, it was a laborious and dangerous thing to illuminate a place after the sun went down. You had to use candles or torches to illuminate. Although the oil lamps at that time were pretty good, they always left soot.

In the middle of the 18th century, electrical science really developed. At that time, inventors everywhere shouted to invent a practical home lighting device. The British inventor Swann and American inventor Edison invented the electric light bulb in 1897. There is no essential change between modern electric light bulbs and the electric light bulb invented by Edison at that time, but some additional components.
