Charles F Brush
He created the Arc Light, which are also known as the street lamps. He used an electrical generator, which transforms mechanical energy into electrical energy. The electrical generator was fueled by gas or gasoline. -
Carbonized Cotton Thread
Thomas Edison created a carbonized cotton thread, after 14 months of hard work. The main project was an electric lamp for indoor use. He first tried metal which burned inside a vacumm. But that wasn't the solution. So he knew it would have to need carbon somehow. So he tried a carbonized cotton thread filament which is like a thread like structure. This filament enables the light to produce. -
Supplying Power
Edison's first great central station that supplied power for three thousand lights Holborn Viaduct, London. This is an important event because it gave reputation to Edison's great projects and was like an electricity boom. -
Pearl Street Station in New York City
The Central Station in America, was put into operation. This is an important event because it was the first electrical center in America. -
New Jersey Laboratory
Edison began constructing a new laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey. Where he lived and work for the rest of his life. In this laboratory he did many of his later experiments. -
Roentgen
Roentgen shows that when an uncharged dielectric is moved at right angles to a magnetic field is produced. -
Emil Wiechert
Emil Wiechert shows that simply replacing the distributed charge from Lorentz's theory with the charge of a moving point particle gives incorrect results. Instead the Lienard-Wiechert retarded potentials must be used. -
Wilhelm Roentgen
Wilhelm Roentgen discovers X-rays produced by bremsstrahlung in cathode ray tubes. -
