The Thomas Edison Memorial Tower and Menlo Park Museum was built in 1937 to mark the "Birthplace of Recorded Sound" in the Menlo Park section of what is now the town of Edison. The World's Largest Light Bulb is thirteen feet tall, weighs eight tons, and is illuminated at night. The tower marks the spot where Edison invented the light bulb (Henry Ford stole the actual workshop and bottled Edison's Last Breath). The museum curator, Jack Stanley, entertained with amazing tales of Edison and his competitors, but said the Last Breath thing was a bunch of hooey. Inside the tower's base is a "highly exhausted" light bulb that's been burning since 1929, when the tower was built. Or at least it was there when we visited years ago. This trip, the tower was locked up tight, showing signs of deterioration. There's a local effort underway to restore it and expand the museum.
How big is the world’s largest TV? Both Samsung and LG introduced their 102 inch TV and made the record books in 2006. Subsequently Panasonic brought in its 103-inch plasma TV in early 2007 and broke the record. However, the record made by Panasonic didn’t stay long. Sharp unveiled its 108-inch LCD TV in the 2007 International Consumer Electronic Show (CES) at Las Vegas. Now, a new record made again by Panasonic. The Japanese electronics conglomerate Matsushita Electric Industrial Co introduced its flat panel 150-inch plasma TV at the Consumer Electronics Show CES in Las Vegas, January 7, 2008. This is a new record in TV industry.
Researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) have just recently created the smallest incandescent light bulb in history, which is about 100,000 times narrower and 10,000 times shorter than the one first designed by Thomas Edison. The filament of the new bulb is only 1.4-micrometer long and approximately 13 nanometers (about 100 carbon atoms) in diameter, and is only visible as a tiny peck of dust when lit. When closed, it's completely invisible to the naked eye. The goal of the experiment was to test how relative physics and quantum physics intertwined and affected each other at such a construction scale.

Fluorescent Lamp Inventor
Many Filipinos acknowledge Agapito Flores as the inventor of the fluorescent lamp, which is the most widely used source of lighting in the world today. The fluorescent lamp reportedly got its name from Flores. Written articles about Flores said he was born in Bantayan Island in Cebu. The fluorescent lamp, however, was not invented in a particular year. It was the product of 79 years of the development of the lighting method that began with the invention of the electric light bulb by Thomas Edison.
A battery, by definition, consists of a group of two or more primary or secondary battery cells, which convert chemical energy into electrical energy. A portion of the chemical energy a cell produces is transformed into heat, and a portion into an electric current.
Primary battery cells can only be renewed during down time, when they replenish their chemicals. When one reach for his or her emergency flashlight, which contains a type of primary cell named an ordinary cell, and it fails to light up, one falls victim of this very principle.
Welcome to my Church of the Electric Element! My goal as an electric pokemon trainer is to have some little thing to represent every member of the electric family (not EVERY thing! gosh). See what's coming soon! My goal is at least these goods of each pokemon:
In 1881, capital punishment was in common use in the United States--but that usually meant hanging, or occasionally a firing squad. Enter New York dentist Albert Southwick, who saw an old drunk accidentally electrocute himself on a power generator with no visible pain. He told a friend in the legislature, and the idea of executing people using the modern marvel of electricity began to take hold.
The electric chair consists of an oaken chair with an adjustable backrest, inherent leg electrodes, a leather and sponge helmet with electrode, a drip pan, a plexiglass seat and a non-incremental restraint system. It is covered with a high gloss epoxy paint similar to that which is used in the space program. It is connected to the power supply via one military type connector. This chair was fabricated in part with wood from Tennessee's original electric chair.
