Thomas Alva Edison Is Credited with Over 1000 invention, a full list of them is hard to come by, let alone have the patience to read, Some of his most famous inventions are

-The lightbulb Aka that magic shiny glowing bulb that gives of light but does not like to be touched and will burn you if you try to touch it without a glove or towel over your hand.

-The Phonograph, A device made for recording telephone calls for later review by the participants. First made with parrafin paper cylinders, then changed to the more reliable steel discs with tin foil on top.

-The Kinetiscope, An early form of motion picture. Edison got the idea from working with Eadweard Muybridge on the Zoopraxiscope.

-the kinetophone, A kinetoscope with a phonograph in the case so that motion picture with sound overlay was possible although untrained operators led to audience dissatisfaction, leaading directly to its demise.

-The vitascope, A Film projection systyem, deserted shortly after the projectoscope was made, aka the projecting kinetiscope. Projecting systems were made slowly as with single viewer kinetoscope the companies could make more profit, but with a projecter the profit was made far quicker, serving large audiences in the same amount of time it took to serve one person on a kinetoscope.
