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.
There is no evidence to suggest that Thomas Edison used hemp in light bulbs. Edison is known for his work with electricity and the invention of the incandescent light bulb, which utilized a carbon filament.
The first earphones were created by Thomas Edison in the late 19th century. He developed a device called the "carbon button transmitter," which was used in early telephones. However, the first true earphones, designed for listening to music, were developed by Nathaniel Baldwin in 1910, who handcrafted them in his home and later patented the design. These early earphones laid the groundwork for the evolution of modern headphones.
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
