First Electric Light, Humphry Davy, Thomas Alva Edison, Contribution of Edison, Invention of the First electric Light
When and who is the inventor of electric light?
The first electric light was generated in 1800 by Humphry Davy.
Humphry Davy
•Humphry Davy was an English scientist.
•Humphry Davy decided to experiment with electricity and invented an electric battery.
•When Humphry Davy connected wires and a piece of carbon to the invented battery carbon blazed which he called light.
•The produced light is called an electric arc.
•In 1860, a physicist, Sir Joseph Wilson Swan decided to devise a useful long-lasting electric light. He thought that a carbon paper filament illuminates well but blazed up quickly.
•So, in 1878 he created and demonstrated his new electric lamps in Newcastle, England.
•In 1877, Charles Francis Brush created some carbon arcs to illuminate a public square in Cleveland, Ohio.
•In this way, the arcs were started being used on streets, office buildings, and even some stores. Electric lights were only used by a few people at that time.
Thomas Alva Edison
•Thomas Alva Edison was an American scientist and businessman who developed many devices including long lasting light bulb.
•After many experiments different kind of filaments, Thomas Alva Edison returned to a carbon filament. In 1879, Thomas Alva Edison invented a carbon filament that had the capacity to light for forty hours.
•Thomas Alva Edison continued to improve this design and within few months developed an electric lamp using "a carbon filament or strip coiled and connected to platina contact wires".
•Finally, Thomas Alva Edison and his team were able to invent a carbonized bamboo filament which could produce light for 1,200 hours.
•In 1878, Thomas Alva Edison established the Edison Electric Light Company in New York.
•On December 31, 1879, Thomas Alva Edison made the first open display of his incandescent light bulb in Menlo Park.
•In the demonstration Thomas Alva Edison said: "We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles."
Contribution of Thomas Alva Edison
•In 1880, Thomas Alva Edison patented an electric distribution system, which was essential to capitalize on the invention of the electric lamp.
•On December 17, 1880, Thomas Alva Edison founded the Edison Electric Illuminating Company.
•In 1882, The Company established the first investor-owned electric utility on Pearl Street Station, New York City.
•In 1882, that Thomas Alva Edison started his Pearl Street generating station's electrical power distribution system provided 110 volts direct current (DC).
•In 1882 only Thomas Alva Edison also built the first steam generating power station at Holborn Viaduct in London.
•The DC supply system of the station provided use to supply light to street lamps and several private dwellings.
•In 1883, the first standardized incandescent electric lighting system provided electric supply in New Jersey
