Tesla moved to the United States in 1884. When he arrived, he worked as an assistant to Thomas Edison, then in his late 30's. Edison had just invented the electric light bulb, but he needed a system to distribute electricity to houses. He designed a DC (direct current) system, but it had many bugs in it. Edison promised Tesla lots of money in bonuses if he could get the bugs out. Tesla took the challenge and ended up saving Edison over $100,000, which was millions of dollars by today's standards. Edison later refused to keep his promise. Tesla quit not long after that, and Edison spent the rest of his life trying to discredit Tesla which is the main reason why he is so unknown today. Edison was envious of him and instead of working a relatioship and working with him, the rest is known.
Thomas Edison did not invent electricity. He invented means of making use of electricity.
Thomas Edison invented the first successful electric light bulb. He and his staff at his workshop in Menlo Park New Jersey.
Though people claim Edison invented the light bulb, it was previously discovered by many inventors which includes Nikola Tesla. But Edison found a way where everyone could use it and hence Edison has been credited for the invention of the light bulb.
I am guessing you are trying to say when did Thomas Edison invent the light bulb. He invented the light bulb on October 22nd, 1879.
Thomas Edison invented stuff .EX:first light bulb
No, Thomas Edison invented uses for electricity. Electricity is a part of nature.
Thomas Edison did not invent electricity. He invented means of making use of electricity.
The ruthless Thomas Alva Edison
Thales, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin.
Thomas Alva Edison
There were 4 main ways. Elevators, lights, streetcars, and subways. They were all invented by Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla.
Either Issac Newton or Thomas Edison
Nikola Tesla patented alternate current which is used worldwide to light house ad buildings. Edison began selling electricity with the direct current but lost all the grandeur.
Thomas Edison invented the first successful electric light bulb. He and his staff at his workshop in Menlo Park New Jersey.
Thomas Edison is the one who invented electricity. So without him, you probably wouldn't be on this computer device right now.
Actually, several other people ALSO invented light bulbs. Edison made a better bulb, and developed the electrical service to support use of electricity. If he had not, someone else would have. Probably Nikola Tesla.
Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla met when Tesla started working for Edison at his company, Edison Machine Works, in 1884. Tesla made significant contributions to the company, but the two inventors had contrasting views on electricity and eventually parted ways due to disagreements on alternating current versus direct current.
