they both died at same age.
What did
October 22, 1879. However, Edison did not invent the light bulb, it is a matter of documented record that Swan obtained a UK patent covering a partial vacuum, carbon filament incandescent lamp in 1860. Thomas Alva Edison patented his invention in 1879, almost 20 years later, the same year that Swan's bulbs were in domestic use in England.
Thomas Edison was a person who was kicked out of school and was deaf in one ear, he invented many things such as: The Tin Foil Phonograph,camera,kinetoscope,vitascope,electrical vote,electric generator,paraffin paper,electric pen,electric chair and many more.
While Thomas Edison is often credited with inventing the practical and commercially viable incandescent light bulb, there were other inventors working on similar technologies around the same time. One notable figure is Sir Humphry Davy, a British scientist who experimented with electric arcs and developed the carbon arc lamp in the early 19th century. This was an early form of electric lighting, but it was not as practical or efficient as Edison's incandescent light bulb. Another important figure in the development of electric lighting was Sir Hiram Maxim, an American-born inventor who became a British citizen. He invented the Maxim lamp, which used a different approach by using a mantle of carbonized cellulose as the filament. However, this design also faced limitations compared to Edison's incandescent lamp. It's important to note that Edison's innovation wasn't just in creating the concept of electric light but in developing a practical, long-lasting, and commercially viable incandescent light bulb. His work led to the widespread adoption of electric lighting in homes and businesses. While there were others working on similar ideas, Edison's contributions were particularly significant in the history of electric lighting.
It is not at all unusual for two or more people to be working on the same problem at the same time, and coming up with similar ideas almost simultaneously, without any contact between the two. This is the case with these two men and a practical, economically useful, incandescent bulb. Joseph Swan made an incandescent light bulb before Edison did so, but Edison's team came up with their ideas without any help from Swan's work. Swan thus had the patent in Great Britain; Edision in the USA. Rather than fight out who held the patents around the world, the two simply agree to join their patents as one.
someone, but he IMPROVED the light bulb as well so... it wasnt the same for long
Thomas Edison envented the light bulb and Alexander graham bell invented leader ship.
I doubt it, or they wouldn't have two different middle initials.
No, Jackie Robinson and Thomas Edison do not share the same middle name. While Jackie Robinson's middle name is Roosevelt, Thomas Edison's middle name is Alva.
You may be thinking about Thomas JEFFERSON...Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison did not live in the same time.
Thomas Edison was born in the U.S., and thus had American citizenship to the same extent as anyone else born in the U.S.
No...
kind of and not at the same time
yes alexander graham bell did invent the hydrofoil and he invented it in paris france. the same place he invented the telephone is 1881
No but someone else created the telephone at the same time. Alexander Graham Bell just got it tenanted first!!
Alexander Graham Bell, same with the telephone, i believe.
I believe it was in around the same time(1876) Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone.
