How did Thomas Edison start to invent things?

Answer 1

Born in Milan, Ohio Edison lost much of his hearing at a young age and had very little schooling. He sold candy and newspapers to railroad passengers and set up a small lab for electrical experiments in a baggage car. Electricity in his time was mainly telegraphy and since he was around railroad stations where this took place it was natural for him to make telegraphy his life work. In 1868 he arrived in Boston where he became a full time inventor. The electrical shop of Charles Williams catered to inventors so it gave him ( Bell as well) a place to work with skilled workmen to put his ideas into practice In 1869 Edison moved to New York and in the next 20 years he and his workmen came up with invention after invention. His workshops invented the quadruplex telegraph, carbon button telephone transmitter, phonograph, electric light and a system of electrical generation and distribution More than a 1,000 patents bore name although most were not made by him personally. In Menlo Park, New Jersey he created a research and development center staffed with brilliant technicians and trained theoretical scientists.

In 1888 Tesla designed the first practical system of generating and transmitting alternating current for electric power. The American rights to this epoch-making invention were bought by the American inventor George Westinghouse, who demonstrated the system for the first time at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Two years later Tesla's alternating-current motors were installed at the Niagara falls power project.
