Menlo Park, New Jersey Edison opened a research laboratory in Menlo Park, NJ, in 1876. This site later become known as an "invention factory," since Edison and his employees worked on several different inventions at any given time there. It was there that Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, his first commercially successful invention. The New Jersey Menlo Park laboratory was closed in 1882, when Edison moved into his new larger laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey. • A carbon button transmitter (aka microphone) and the induction coil that greatly improved the telephone • An improved bulb filament and successful • The first underground electrical system • A prototype electric railway was constructed at Menlo Park • The founding of the Edison Electric Light Company • Christie Street in Menlo Park became the world's first street to be lit by incandescent light bulbs. • In fact, Menlo Park became a tourist attraction because of the novelty of lighting. • Edison applied for over 400 patents for inventions made at Menlo Park. The Land of Menlo Park Menlo Park was part of rural Raritan Township in New Jersey. Edison bought 34 acres of land there in late 1875. The office of a former real estate company, at the corner of Lincoln Highway and Christie Street, became Edison's home. Edison's father built the main laboratory building on the block south of Christie Street between Middlesex and Woodbridge Avenues. Also built was the glass house, a carpenters' shop, a carbon shed, and ...

Since our earliest ancestors bashed a rock on the ground to make the first sharp-edged tool, humans have continued to innovate. From the debut of the wheel to the launch of Mars rovers, several of these key advancements stand out as especially revolutionary. Some inventions are thanks to one eureka moment, but most of our most pioneering inventions were the work of several innovative thinkers who made incremental improvements over many years. Here, we explore 20 of the most importantinventionsof all time, along with the science behind the Wheels were invented circa 3,500 B.C., and rapidly spread across the Eastern Hemisphere. (Image credit: James Steidl via Shutterstock) Before the invention of the wheel in 3500 B.C., humans were severely limited in how much stuff we could transport over land, and how far. The wheel itself wasn't the most difficult part of "inventing the wheel." When it came time to connect a non-moving platform to that rolling cylinder, things got tricky, according to David Anthony, a professor of anthropology at Hartw...

The noted He was known as the "Black Edison;" he won a patent lawsuit filed by Thomas Edison. And the For years, people have worked to create a museum Now, research has discovered some things about Woods that change what people thought they knew about him. For one, he was born in 1850 or 1851, not 1856, said Aaron O'Donovan, special collections supervisor at the Columbus Metropolitan Library. And O'Donovan said that Woods lived in Columbus for a longer period of time than what was believed, starting a company here that foreshadowed his later inventions. "He was in Columbus until 1881-1882. He was here for quite a while," O'Donovan said. O'Donovan did the research along with help from librarian Cindy Lindsey and local historian Doreen Uhas Sauer, who is working with a group of high school students who are part of an AmeriCorps internship project called the Creators, Originators and Innovators of Tomorrow Workforce Initiative. They studied census records, marriage and divorce records, city directories, and newspaper clippings, including some from The Dispatch. "You're not looking for dirt. You're looking for reality," Uhas Sauer said. The group recently released its findings at the Rickenbacker Woods Foundation in Driving Park. Woods died in New York City in 1910, and biographical materials have long listed his birth year as 1856. But O'Donovan said that census records indicate Woods was likely born five to six years earlier. An 1860 census record shows him as 10 years old a...

Witness the recording of Fred Ott sneezing captured by Kinetoscopic, 1894 Because Edison had originally conceived of motion pictures as an adjunct to his phonograph, he did not commission the invention of a projector to accompany the Kinetograph. Rather, he had Dickson design a type of peep-show viewing device called the Raff and Gammon for $250 to $300 apiece. The Edison Company established its own Kinetograph studio (a single-room building called the “Black Maria” that rotated on tracks to follow the sun) in The syndicate of Maguire and Baucus acquired the foreign rights to the Kinetoscope in 1894 and began to market the machines. Edison opted not to file for international patents on either his camera or his viewing device, and, as a result, the machines were widely and legally copied throughout Europe, where they were modified and improved far beyond the American originals. In fact, it was a Kinetoscope exhibition in Paris that inspired the Unlike the Kinetograph, which was battery-driven and weighed more than 1,000 pounds (453 kg), the cinématographe was hand-cranked, cinématographe became the founding instrument of distant cinemas in Russia, Australia, and Japan. In the novelty period,” emphasis fell on the projection device itself, and films achieved their main popularity as self-contained vaudeville attractions. Vaudeville houses, locked in intense competition at the turn of the century, headlined the name of the machines rather than the films (e.g., “The Vitascope—...
