Thomas Edison

The train characters are models built to a 1:32 scale, known in the model railway world as "O" Scale. Because very small model trains are filmed moving in real time. It was filmed in production studio is the size of an aircraft hangar, and filled with a collection of more than 70 16-by-20-foot sets. To create the characters of Thomas, Henry, Percy, Gordon, and the gang, model-makers start with Marklin model train chassis and then modify the bodies to represent the various characters. Under a train's body shell lies the mechanism for moving the engine's eyes -- up, down, sideways, or 'round and 'round -- by radio control. In addition, there is a diaphragm pump and smoke unit to blow the specially formulated "smoke." Each character has its own basic face, which is first sculpted in clay. Then a rubber mold is made, and several copies are cast in a mixture of resin and auto-body filler. Each replica is reworked into different expressions, from which a final silicone casting is taken. The characters' faces are changed between shooting sequences and are held in place with nothing more sophisticated than double-sided adhesive tape. Thomas alone has more than 40 faces cast for him, while the other engines have five or six each.

No, False

Tesla's design varied from that of Faraday in two major ways. First, he used a magnet that was bigger in diameter than the disk so that the magnet completely covered the disk. Second, he divided the disk into sections with spiral curves radiating out from the center to the outside edge. Edison had nothing to do with this invention and in the other side of the coin, Frank Julian Sprague improved designs for a spring-loaded trolley pole.

If you mean 'Siblings', then yes. He had alot. He was the seventh and last of the Edison children. Big family, huh?

he went to 540 schools.

The most important day in Fort Myers history, many believe, was March 6, 1885, when Thomas Alva Edison landed in what was then a sleepy tropical village on Florida's west coast. Edison, then 38 years old and widely known for his invention of the incandescent lamp and the phonograph, came for rest and sunshine and to shake off a lingering illness. His health recovered, he purchased a small house and 14 acres on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. The following year, he was joined by his bride, Minnie Miller Edison, and then by such famous guests as Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone thrusting the quiet settlement into the headlines and launching the tourist industry that has transformed it into a thriving city.

For 50 years the Edisons, whose main residence was in West Orange, N.J., spent the winter and spring in Fort Myers. A decade after the inventor's death in 1931, his widow willed the Florida home to the city. These days, about 380,000 people come annually from all over the United States and abroad,to tour the estate, which now comprises five buildings, including a museum of Edison's inventions. Unlike some of the lavish, fanciful retreats built by magnates in other Florida cities, the Edison Winter Home illuminates the work as well as the life style of the owner. Even travelers totally untutored in science who view the home, laboratory and botanical gardens will recognize that this was indeed the residence of a genius. In its way, this is another Monticello. The first sight one sees on leaving the parking lot is the celebrated banyan tree: what appears to be a blockwide forest of separate trunks are in fact aerial roots of the same plant. This vast, mysterious grove, like an Art Nouveau vision of entwined stems, branches and roots capped by an emerald canopy, was a sapling when Edison planted it in 1925. A sign explains that it was sent from India, a gift from Harvey Firestone, the tire manufacturer, introducing the visitor to an intriguing chapter in Edison's life in Florida: his efforts to create a domestic source of natural rubber.

Assuming you mean the type that was invented by Thomas Edison, it is the Incandescent Bulb. Light is given off by a coiled Tungsten filament that is heated by an electric current flowing through it.

The amount of light given off is rated in Lumens, but most generally the consumer relates it to "Wattage". The higher the wattage the more light given off.

put together pictures and makes it start moving and makes movies

His first patent was awarded in 1869 and he died in 1931, so 62 years.

Thomas Telford had lots of hobbies

Thomas Addison died of the desease that he discovered and called it Addison desease.

He died on the 29th of June 1860. Then he was buried in the Lanercost Abbey in Cumberland.I hope that information helped you.

Yes, he did.

The interest in the possible healing and life-enhancing effects of various semiprecious stones and crystals is stimulating growth in sales of gemstone bracelets, pins, and pendants

In fact, Thomas Edison had more than one job. At first he sold candy and newspapers on the Grand Trunk Railroad, were he set up a chemistry lab in an empty car to conduct his experiments. He later worked as a telegraph operator. Eventuly, though, he quit to become a full time inventor. For more information, type "Thomas Edison" in the question bar at the top of WikiAnswers, or go to this website: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/edison/timeline/index.html

He was also a renowned businessman and entrepreneur.

An authoritarian system of government is one where the leader makes all the decisions without consulting the people. This can be a very efficient style of government, but people have no input.

He invented the light bulb so we can see in dark places, also the lamp because people can work on dark grassy fields.

Humphrey Davy invented a miners lamp, that could detect explosive gasses in mines. Known as a 'Davy lamp'.

Bryson became chairman and chief executive officer of Edison International and Southern California Edison in October 1990.

wasn t born yet, no

When he patented Swan's invention of the light bulb.
