On 12 March 1877 Edison discovers that pressure is sufficient to capture voice for transmission to electrical signals. He received three patents in 1892 for the carbon transmitter he designed for the American Speaking Telephone Company.
Thomas Edison improved the telephone by seeing that the original transmitter used a magnate. Edison increased the signal by introducing a carbon battery.
Thomas Edison invented the carbon microphone in 1877
the inventions include many things for example Duplex telegraph system, phonograph, carbon button microphone,NOT the light bulb though.
he invented the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb
Thomas Edison invented the carbon microscope from 1877 to 1878.
Phonograph- a devise used to record and play back messages Carbon Telephone transmitter Kinetoscope- recorded and reproduced objects in motion Fluoroscopy- machine that uses X-rays to make radiographs
Alexander Graham bell developed a telephone transmitter called a ' butter pat' microphone.Encased in wood they looked like a dairy stamp. One was held in the hand in front of the mouth and one against the ear. They were not very sensitive and Thomas Edison's carbon button microphone won out and Bell's receiver was retained.
Both Emile Berliner and Thomas Edison applied for patents on the carbon microphone in 1877.
Bell & Watson's telephone had a parchment diaphragm. Thomas Edison recognized that if the diaphragm were replaced with a conductive medium it would have far greater transmission strength, and possibly better clarity. Edison developed a compressed carbon disc which was indeed superior to Bell's parchment design, and later improved it by baking the carbon. Apparently this later version was used in telephones for much of the 20th Century.
Lewis Howard Latimer perfected it but Thomas Edison invented it
The first practical incandescent light bulb. Edison and his team of researchers in Edison's laboratory in Menlo Park, N.J., tested more than 3,000 designs for bulbs between 1878 and 1880. In November 1879, Edison filed a patent for an electric lamp with a carbon filament.
Thomas Edison invented the movie camera, mimiograph, carbon microphone and phonograph.Contrary to popular belief, he did not invent:The light bulb (he just improved the existing invention)Electricity (he just found a way to capitalise it to make millions in profit)
