The invention of bulb

Science has got us the means of countless comforts through its invention and unbelievable constructions.  Today, human beings have touched new dimensions of promotion. Among all these inventions, the invention of bulb was very important because due to the bulb, 

we can see it like day in the night.  In ancient times, our ancestors used fire for light, but today the bulb has overcome this problem, so that we can easily do the work which could not be thought at one time even at night.  

That today cricket can be played very easily at night and if we are able to travel at night, then bulb also has a big contribution because if there is no light in the trains then it is not at all easy to travel with any vehicle.  is.

The invention of bulb



It was talked about how important the bulb is for us, but very few people will know who invented the bulb, so in today's article, we will know that bulb invented as well as the inventor of the bulb.  Will be aware of who made us aware of the bulb.


The bulb was invented on 14 October 1878 by Thomas Alva Editions and Joseph Swan, the name that exposed humans to light.

General information about Thomas Alva Edison


Thomas Alva Edison was a great and successful scientific and noted businessman.  He made about 1093 inventions in his life, this was the only invention he got patented in his name.

Thomas Alva Edison was born on 11 February 1847 in Milan, USA, which is currently located in the US state of Ohio.  This state was formed in March 1803 with its capital being Columbus.  

Thomas was intelligent since childhood, which is why he used to do various experiments right from childhood.  He made many successful inventions in his life and almost he also built 14 companies in his life, some of which are still running.

This great figure said goodbye to this world on 18 October 1931, but due to his inventions and due to his work, not even today, the whole world remembers with great respect.


We all use bulbs for lighting in our houses, we never thought that this is a big discovery and today there is so much need of light bulbs that without it every house will be available without lights and their demand is increasing.  But CFL has replaced bulb for some time because it takes less light than bulb and it also gives more light and now LED bulbs which give a lot of light in very less light.

The invention of bulb

The bulb was invented by Dewey, Swan, and Thomas Edison in 1878. On October 14, 1878, Edison filed his first patent application "to improve electric light" that Edison and his team discovered that a carbonized bamboo filament from 1200  Much innovation can be done before this invention can run for many hours.

Edison Carbon Filament Lamps, Early 1880

In 1802, Humphrey Davy invented the first electric light. He experimented with electricity and invented an electric battery when he connected wires to his battery and a piece of carbon, carbon glowed, creating light.  

His invention was known as the electric arc lamp and when it produced light, it was that it was too bright to produce for long time and for much practical use.

In 1850 an English physicist named Joseph Wilson Hans created a "light bulb" by attaching carbonized paper filaments to an empty glass bulb, and by 1860 he was a working prototype, but lacking a good vacuum and an adequate supply of electricity for a bulb whose life  However,

even though an effective prodcer of light was less to be considered, better vacuum pumps became available in the 1870s and the Swan continued experimenting on light bulbs.  In 1878, Hans developed a long-lasting light bulb using a treated cotton thread that also removed the problem of early black bulbs.

On 24 July 1874 a Canadian named a Toronto medical electrician Henry Woodward and a patent was filed by a colleague Matthew Evans. They manufacture their lamps with different sizes and shapes of carbon rods between electrodes in nitrogen-filled glass cylinders. 

Kaya Woodward and Evans attempted to commercialize their lamps but were unsuccessful.In the end, they sold their patents to Edison in 1879, after which they invented a light bulb which was a huge invention.
