    Thomas Edison played a significant role in introducing the modern age of electricity through his inventions including the phonograph, improvements to the telephone transmitter and receiver, the incandescent light bulb, the first commercial electric power system, an experimental electric railroad, and early motion picture equipment. He is widely known as the inventor of the light bulb, which he developed in 1879 at his Menlo Park laboratory using a high resistance filament inside a glass vacuum bulb to prevent it from melting when electricity was passed through. Edison also invented the motion picture camera in 1888 and enjoyed working on the phonograph, which he created in 1877 and was able to record sound on tinfoil-coated cylinders using separate needles for recording and playback.

    About Thomas Edison
    • Thomas Edison played a significant part in introducing the
    modern age of electricity. His inventions included the
    phonograph, the carbon-button transmitter for the telephone
    speaker and microphone, the incandescent lamp, the first
    commercial electric light and power system, an experimental
    electric railroad, and key elements of motion-picture
    equipment.
    Light Bulb
    Thomas Edison is also known as the
    inventor of light bulb.

    By January 1879, at his laboratory in Menlo Park, New


    Jersey, Edison had built his first high resistance,
    incandescent electric light. It worked by passing
    electricity through a thin platinum filament in the glass
    vacuum bulb, which delayed the filament from melting.

    Motion-Picture Camera
    Motion-picture camera, also called
    Movie Camera, any of various
    complex photographic cameras that
    are designed to record a succession
    of images on a reel of film that is
    repositioned after each exposure.
    Motion-picture camera invented in
    1888 in New York City.
    Phonograph
    Thomas Edison created many
    inventions, but his favorite was the
    phonograph. While working on
    improvements to the telegraph and the
    telephone, Edison figured out a way to
    record sound on tinfoil-coated
    cylinders. In 1877, he created a
    machine with two needles: one for
    recording and one for playback.
