爱迪生与电灯
世界闻名的“发明大王”爱迪生一生只上过三个月的小学,不耻下问的习惯被人们认为他是低能儿,而他的学问是靠母亲的教导和自修得来的.他的成功,大部分应该归功于母亲自小对他的谅解与耐心的教导.
1879年10月,在一次偶然的机会下,爱迪生的老朋友麦肯基来看望他.爱迪生望着麦肯基说话时一晃一晃的长胡须,突然眼睛一亮,说：“胡子,先生,我要用您的胡子.”麦肯基剪下一绺交给爱迪生.爱迪生满怀信心地挑选了几根粗胡子,进行炭化处理,然后装在灯泡里.可令人遗憾的是,试验结果也不理想.“那就用我的头发试试看,没准还行.”麦肯基说.这句话深深的触动了爱迪生,但他明白,头发与胡须性质一样,于是没有采纳老人的意见.爱迪生走身,准备为这位慈祥的老人送行.他下意思地帮老人拉平身上穿的棉线外套.突然,他又喊道：“棉线,为什么不试棉线呢?”
麦肯基毫不犹豫地解开外套,撕下一片棉线织成的布,递给爱迪生.爱迪生把棉线放在在U形密闭坩埚里,用高温处理.爱迪生用镊子夹住炭化棉线.准备将它装在灯泡内.可由于炭化棉线又细又脆,加上爱迪生过于紧张,拿镊子的手微微颤抖,因此棉线被夹断了.
最后,费了九牛二虎之力,爱迪生才把一根炭化棉线装进了灯泡.此时,夜幕正在降临,爱迪生的助手把灯泡里的空气抽走,并将灯泡安在灯座上,一切工作就绪,大家静静地等待着结果.接通电源,灯泡发出金黄色的光辉,把整个实验室照得通亮.13个月的艰苦奋斗,试用了6000多种材料,试验了7000多次,终于有了突破性的进展.
但是,这灯究竟会亮多久呢?1小时,2小时,3小时„„时间一分一秒的过去,这盏电灯足足亮了45小时,灯丝才被烧断.这是人类第一盏有实用价值的电灯.
爱迪生的一生是伟大的一生,不是因为他的着装华丽,而是因为他的成就卓越.电灯的发明知识他众多发明中的一点,但它带来的影响却是无可比拟.

Edison and the lamp
The world famous "king of the invention" of Edison's life had only threemonths of primary school, habit of asking questions is the people think he isa moron, and his knowledge is on the mother's education and self-study. His success, largely due to the mother of his child's understanding and patience to teach.
In 1879 October, in a fortuitous opportunity, old friend Mccann Edison to see him. Edison looked at e spoke flash flash long beard, suddenly a bright eyes,said: "the beard, sir, I want to use your beard." Mccann cut a lock to Edison. Edison confidently picked up a few thick beard, was carbonized, and then installed in a bulb. Unfortunately, the test results are not ideal."Then my hair have a try, maybe." E said. This sentence is deeply touched Edison, but he knew, hair and beard like nature, so did not adopt the views of the elderly. Edison walked, ready for the good old man off. He meant tohelp the old man up wearing cotton jacket. Suddenly, he cried: "why not trycotton, cotton?"
Mccann not hesitate to unbuttoning his overcoat, tore off a piece of cottonwoven fabric, to Edison. Edison put the thread in the U shape sealedcrucibles, by high temperature treatment.

Finally, had a tremendous effort, Edison turned a carbonized cotton threadinto the bulb. At this time, night was falling, Edison aides of the bulb of the air, and the bulb in the lamp holder, all is ready, we quietly waiting for the results. Connect the power supply, lighting shining in gold, the entire laboratory illuminated. 13 months of work hard and perseveringly,tried more than 6000 kinds of materials, test 7000 times, finally a breakthrough.
However, the lamp will shine last? 1 hours, 2 hours, 3 hours need to need a second time in the past, this lamp for 45 hours before dawn, the filament is burnt. This is the first lamp has the practical value of the lamp.
Edison's life is a great life, not because of his flamboyant, but because of his outstanding achievements. The invention of the electric light a littleknowledge of his great inventions, but its impact is brought it there is nothing comparable to this.

Edison inventing the light bulb did not 1500 many experiments to find suitable lamp filament material, it was ridiculed, he said: "Mr. Edison, you have failed in 1500 many times." Edison replied: "No ...
