Who invented the first light bulb and what were its flaws?

This is almost unanswerable, because the early attempts were so bad that they should really have been called dim bulbs. The real problem was to produce a bulb which gave good light, had a reasonable life, and was affordable. The race to achieve all of these was almost a dead heat. Thomas Alva Edison had been working on it for a while, and finally got a working version. He applied for a patent, only to discover that the Scotsman Joseph Swan had also been working on the problem. Swan applied for his patent in the UK 6 days before Edison in the USA. A lawsuit resulted, and Swan was favourite to win because he clearly had priority; however the lawsuit got so expensive that Edison and Swan negotiated a deal. Have you ever noticed that many bulbs are made by a company called Ediswan ?


What it thermal energy?

Since the late 60s/early 70s, heat has been considered as energy in transit from a body at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature. Heat is directly comparable to work, where work describes energy in transit from one form into another.So, heat and work both describe transfers of energy, not energy itself.We can use water as an analogy. When it's vapour, we call it a 'cloud', when it condenses, we call it 'rain', when it's on the ground, we call it a 'puddle'. Well, heat and work are equivalent to 'rain' -water in transit between being a cloud and being a puddle!


Why does temperature increase just after greasing bearing of machine?

The main reason for this often-observed phenomenon is the almost universal habit among maintenance engineers and technicians of taking care of the greasing early in the morning, before the production workers get organized and revved up. Thus, the greasing portion of the daily ritual coincides coincidentally in most industrialized regions with the minimum intensity of insolation, corresponding to a concomitant subsequent post-grease rise on the mean smoothed diurnal temperature curve.
