Thomas Edison - Paul Israel - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The most prolific inventor in American history, Thomas Edison played a major role in creating industries that have altered life around the globe: electric light and power, recorded sound and motion pictures. He also made significant innovations in telecommunications, battery technology, office machinery, the manufacture of Portland Cement, and processes for working low-grade ores. He was able to contribute to such a wide array of industries because he was not a lone inventor. At his workshops and laboratories in Newark, Menlo Park, and West Orange in New Jersey, Edison brought together teams of skilled research assistants and machinists. These teams allowed him to do more than any one person could do. In the process he transformed invention by making it part of a larger process of research, development, and commercialization that we now call innovation. That transformation—as much as any single invention—has become a crucial feature of the modern world. - Includes a detailed chronology of Edison’s life and work. - An introduction that provides an overview of Edison’s life and work. - The A-to-Z section includes three hundred encyclopedic entries on Edison’s inventions, laboratories, business enterprises, public image and numerous individuals with whom he was associated. - An extensive bibliography of Edison’s publications and select interviews; modern, contemporaneous, and juvenile biographies; and thirteen subject areas related to Edison’s work and influence. - The index thoroughly cross-references the chronological and encyclopedic entries.

The Papers of Thomas A. Edison - Thomas A. Edison - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

A comprehensive chronicle of Edison's industrial, technological, and electrical pursuits from 1890 to 1892. Thomas A. Edison started the 1890s as one of the most famous people in the Western world, with his name celebrated in small-town newspapers and imperial courts. However, the changing technological and corporate environments of this decade raised obstacles that Edison could only partially overcome while reorienting his career away from his signature electrical technologies. The tenth volume of the widely acclaimed series The Papers of Thomas A. Edison chronicles the end of the "Battle of the Currents," the contest over the development of US electric utility infrastructure. Edison struggled to adapt his direct-current system to overcome the advantages of the Westinghouse Electric alternating-current system and to outpace Thomson-Houston Electric's development of motors for industry and electric traction. The forced merger with Thomson-Houston that created General Electric in 1892 ended Edison's dozen years of leadership in the electrical business. Edison remained prolific in other fields documented in this volume—sound recording, motion pictures, and batteries. But all these projects were overshadowed by his efforts to revitalize uncompetitive eastern iron mines by concentrating low-grade iron ores. Edison opened a massive ore-concentrating works in Ogdensburg, New Jersey, in 1890. The operation, improvement, and expansion of that plant consumed much of his energy and wealth for the rest of the decade.

The Papers of Thomas A. Edison - Thomas A. Edison - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

The fifth volume of The Papers of Thomas A. Edison covers Edison''s invention and development of the first commercial incandescent electric light and power system. In the process he turned his famed Menlo Park laboratory into the first true research and development facility. This also enabled him to develop a new telephone for the British market in the midst of his herculean efforts on electric lighting. In the face of daunting technical challenges and skepticism from leading scientists and engineers, Edison and his team of experimenters and machinists found the solution to the decades-old problem of creating a practical incandescent lamp. By focusing on the characteristics of the entire system Edison reconceptualized the requirements of a successful lamp design. While rivals worked primarily on lamps, Edison developed other parts of a complete system as well. This approach was most notable in his revolutionary work on generator technology, one of the highlights of this volume. Successful exhibitions of the system in December 1879 drew crowds to Menlo Park to witness the softly glowing lamps. These spectacles gratified his financial backers but Edison realized the importance of following experimental demonstrations with the hard work of commercial development. He needed to make each component work effectively in daily use and to improve the designs so that they were easy to use and inexpensive to manufacture. To create a daytime market for electricity he also developed electric motors for a variety of uses, including electric railways, for which he built a small demonstration line at Menlo Park. To accomplish all this Edison greatly enlarged his staff to as many as sixty experimenters, machinists, carpenters, and office workers. He began manufacturing lamps at a factory in Menlo Park. At the end of 1880, Edison was ready to move his system into commercial production and made plans to produce other components in New York. He also invited New York officials to a demonstration in order to win their approval for running underground lines in lower Manhattan where he planned to put his first commercial central station. In March 1881, he moved to the Edison Electric Light Company''s headquarters on Fifth Avenue and began the hard work of introducing the new electric light and power technology.
