Area of interaction: Human ingenuity
Changed way of living forever!
Considered as one of thegreatest inventors the world ha
s
ever seen!
Despite his numerous brilliantinventions and innovations,
several of his ideas were absolute
duds.

often simply a talented person
who has done all of his or her
homework.2

By the end of the 1920s Thomas Edison was in his 80s and he slowed down
somewhat, but not before he applied for the last of his 1,093 U.S. patents, for
an apparatus for holding objects during the electroplating process.11

Three factors in combination are generallyrecognized as contributing to Edisons success:
1) A durable incandescent material
2) Elimination of air from the bulb-a better
vacuum
3) A filament material of high resistance11

LIMITATIONSEdisons light bulb did not last long, so inventor Lewis Latimer improved the
light bulb by developing carbon filaments that lasted longer!!!It cuts down on candles manufactured, big maintenance cost, wastedenergy when there is heat going off the bulb, it is very fragile-the light bulbcan break very easily in a vibrational environment!!!
APPLICATIONS
The light bulb changed the world's industry -- businessesnow could dramatically improve production availableby running around the clock. The world changed interms of leisure, too, as people who for centuries hadretired with the sunset now ventured out far more oftenat night for social reasons.

PHONOGRAPH The first great invention developed by
Edison in Menlo Park was the tin foilphonograph
Movement of the paper tape through themachine produced a noise resemblingspoken words when played at a highspeed12
Thomas Edison
Interdisciplinary Project
Experimenting with a stylus (hard-pointed instrument like a large needle) on atinfoil cylinder, Edison spoke into the machine
Do you know the first words
ever recorded?
"Mary had a little lamb."
LIMITATIONS APPLICATIONSPrior to Edison, only the
written word was availablefor recording history; with his
inventions of the phonographand motion pictures, sights
and sounds could berecorded and preserved for
the ages.
The phonograph doll wasinvented by Thomas Alva
Edison in the late nineteenthcentury, following his
invention of the phonograph.Dolls had critical techniquewas borne of phonograph
recordings.12

The Kinetoscope was a motion picture projectorinvented in 1888
On August 24, 1891, Edison filed the patent forthe camera (kinetograph)peep-hole viewer(kinetoscope) set-up, indicating the film widthto be 35mm and the possibility of using acylinder for future upgrades.
Thomas Edison
Interdisciplinary ProjectLIMITATIONS
APPLICATIONS
Since the film rolls were not long enough and sturdy enough, Edison and hiscrew were not able to build a device based on Mareys technique. Afterinvented, Edison developed his usage of kinetoscope.
Motion pictures forever changed
how mankind was entertained. Nolonger many people need to travellong distances to see a show orhear a concert; they could go to alocal movie hall!

THE FAILED INVENTIONS
The greatest failure of Thomas Edison's careerwas his inability to create a practical way to mineiron ore.
One concept that never took off was Edison'sinterest in using cement to build things.13
