Nikola TeslaAnswerThe incandescent lamp was invented much earlier than Tesla's time. It was originally developed by Sir Humphrey Davey and, subsequently, improved upon by Swann and by Edison.
First off, Nikola Tesla was brilliant. The Croatian-born engineer spoke eight languages, almost single handedly developed technology that harnessed the power of electricity for household use, and invented things like electrical generators, FM radio, remote control, robots, spark plugs, fluorescent lights, and giant machines that shoot enormous, brain-frying lightning bolts. He had an unyielding, steel-trap photographic memory and an insane ability to visualize even the most complex pieces of machinery the guy did advanced calculus and physics equations in his head, memorized entire books at a time, and successfully pulled off scientific experiments that modern-day technology STILL can't replicate. For instance, in 2007 a group of lesser geniuses at MIT got all pumped up out of their minds because they wirelessly transmitted energy a distance seven feet through the air. Nikola Tesla once lit 200 light bulbs from a power source 26 miles away, and he did it in 1899 with a machine he built from spare parts in the middle of the desert. To this day, nobody can really figure out how he pulled that off, because two-thirds of the schematics only existed in the darkest recesses of Tesla's all-powerful brain. Of course, much like many other eccentric giga-geniuses and diabolical masterminds, Tesla was also completely insane. He was prone to nervous breakdowns, claimed to receive weird visions in the middle of the night, spoke to pigeons, and occasionally thought he was receiving electromagnetic signals from extraterrestrials on Mars. He was also obsessive-compulsive and hated round objects, human hair, jewelry, and anything that wasn't divisible by three. He was also asexual and celibate for his entire life.
This category is on Nikola Tesla so I will give the facts of him. Tesla's father was Rev. Milutin Tesla, a Serbian Orthodox Priest. His mother was Duka Mandic, who invented farm tools. His siblings were Dane the older brother who died in a horse accident and Nikola Tesla's sisters: Milka, Angelina and Marica. Tesla changed the way the whole world lives. He invented the alternate current system for producing electrify to the whole world. All wireless units have the base in the Tesla coil. Even bulbs we use today were invented by him. The first things we have to know about bulbs lights is that Edison did not invent those, but only improve them by filling them with copper linings of metals. The second thing is that the Edison patent is outlawed in many countries including the United States and the patent used is the Tesla patent 455,069, dated June 30, 1891. In the Tesla bulbs, the union was better and never had a case of one catching fire like the Edison bulbs. He also made them to allow them to turn on wirelessly. Tesla hypothesized that he could transmit unlimited amounts of power to any place on earth with virtually no loss. The first 'Magnifier' was assembled in New York City between 1895 to 1898. In 1899 a larger magnifier was constructed in Colorado Springs, Colorado with the patent "System of Electric Lighting," U.S. Patent 454,622, 23 June 1891. Tesla spent his remaining funds on his other inventions and culminated his efforts in a major breakthrough in 1899 at Colorado Springs by transmitting 100 million volts of high-frequency electric power wirelessly over a distance of 26 miles at which he lit up a bank of 200 light bulbs and ran one electric motor! With this souped up version of his Tesla coil, Tesla claimed that only 5% of the transmitted energy was lost in the process.
The first electric light was made in 1800 by Humphry Davy, an English scientist. He experimented with electricity and invented an electric battery. When he connected wires to his battery and a piece of carbon, the carbon glowed, producing light.Much later, in 1860, the English physicist Sir Joseph Wilson Swan (1828-1914) was determined to devise a practical, long-lasting electric light. He found that a carbon paper filament worked well, but burned up quickly. In 1878, he demonstrated his new electric lamps in Newcastle, England.In 1877, the American Charles Francis Brush manufactured some carbon arcs to light a public square in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. These arcs were used on a few streets, in a few large office buildings, and even some stores. Electric lights were only used by a few people.The inventor Thomas Alva Edison (in the USA) experimented with thousands of different filaments to find just the right materials to glow well and be long-lasting. In 1879, Edison discovered that a carbon filament in an oxygen-free bulb glowed but did not burn up for 40 hours. Edison eventually produced a bulb that could glow for over 1500 hours.Lewis Howard Latimer (1848-1928) improved the bulb by inventing a carbon filament (patented in 1881); Latimer was a member of Edison's research team, which was called "Edison's Pioneers." In 1882, Latimer developed and patented a method of manufacturing his carbon filaments.In 1903, Willis R. Whitney invented a treatment for the filament so that it wouldn't darken the inside of the bulb as it glowed.In 1910, William David Coolidge (1873-1975) invented a tungsten filament which lasted even longer than the older filaments. The incandescent bulb revolutionized the world.Edison was actually the inventor of the electric lighting system, complete with generators, distribution power lines, usage meters, and light bulbs. No previous light bulb inventor had put all those parts together needed to make a practicalbusiness using them.Nikola Tesla and the innovator Thomas Edison worked together. Edison was credited with the invention, but it was actually partner Tesla who invented the first successful light bulb, and Edison developed it into the present one.There is enough proof to say that the Egyptians came up with and used the light bulb.People say that Edison invented the lightbulb...but they are wrong. It is Scottish inventor James Bowman Lindsay who made it in 1835 but didn't patent it.You might think it was Thomas Edison, but it wasn't!The first light bulb was made by an English scientist called Humphry Davy.Then, the Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla perfected the light bulb.
As with many important developments, many people contributed to developing the fluorescent lamp.The phenomenon of fluorescence was first explained in the mid-19th century by George Stokes at Cambridge University. Other scientists including Heinrich Geissler (Germany) and William Crookes (UK) experimented with generating light by passing an electric current through gas-filled tubes. These devices produced various colors rather than white light, though, and found commercial use only for advertising and entertainment.Development of a gas-filled bulb that produced white light proved elusive. Even great inventors like Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were unsuccessful. A major reason for the lack of progress was that efforts concentrated on finding a gas that would itself glow white. It remained for physicist Arthur Compton to make the leap of producing light indirectly via a coating on the tube's glass rather than relying on the gas itself.Commercial development started in 1934 when Compton reported to the lamp department of the American company General Electric on successful experiments with fluorescent lighting at General Electric Co., Ltd. in Great Britain (a company unrelated to its American namesake). Compton's work was refined by other GE scientists and engineers; the first commercial fluorescent lamps went on sale four years later, in 1938.The large number of people who were directly or indirectly involved in developing fluorescent lighting resulted in protracted battles - both in and out of court - over who should receive credit, and to what extent each contributed. Despite partisans who would assign primacy to Tesla and/or Edison, there's no historical evidence that either was successful. Interestingly, one person who does receive mention, although not formal credit, is a Filipino electrician named Agapito Flores. He independently came up with the same idea as the much more renowned Compton, but dates on his work and Compton's show that Flores reached his conclusions later.For more information please see the Related Link shown below
