At the 1893 World's Fair, the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, an international exposition was held which for the first time devoted a building to electrical exhibits. It was a historic event as Tesla and George Westinghouse introduced visitors to AC power by using it to illuminate the Exposition. On display were Tesla's fluorescent lights and single node bulbs. Tesla also explained the principles of the rotating magnetic field and induction motor by demonstrating how to make an egg made of copper stand on end in his demonstration of the device he constructed known as the "Egg of Columbus".

man made him superior. man invented him. man has been inventing god through out history, since the dawn of time. Why? to explain what science can't explain. research history.. in Benjamin Franklins time, people belived that God was punishing you when lightning struck your house. Now we can explain why that would happen with science. See the trend? We can't yet explain much about the universe...so plug a god in to fill in that gap.

The "Tesla Coil" was invented by Nikola Tesla.  It is a disruptive coil used to create extremely high-voltage bolts of electricity.  Tesla coils create extremely poweful electrical fields, and have been known to power florescent lights from up to 50 ft away.  \n\nFor a random demonstration of the Tesla Coil, watch the movie "Coffee and Cigarettes."

Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922) was a Scottish-born scientist and inventor. Today, Bell is still widely considered to be the foremost inventor of the telephone, although this matter has become controversial, with a number of people claiming that Antonio Meucci was the "real" inventor (in June 2002, the United States House of Representatives passed a symbolic bill officially recognizing Meucci for his contributions to the invention of the telephone).\n\nMore at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Graham_Bell\n\nor\n\nhttp://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bltelephone2.htm\n\nor\n\nhttp://www.invent.org/hall_of_fame/11.html

Benjamin Franklin realized that electrical charges came in two types, which he called positive and negative. \n\nRubbing smooth wool over rough wax produces a huge static electric charge on both the wax and the wool, and the charge can be released in the form of a spark. It was clear that electricity was flowing from one to the other, but which way? Franklin couldn't tell, so he guessed, assigning a "positive" electric charge to the wax and the "negative" electric charge to the wool. \n\nIt turned out he was wrong, but it took over a century to discover that.

Einstien didn't invent anything.  He did recieve a Noble Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect in metals.  His work also had a profound influence on the study of relativity and gravitation.

The ancient Greeks and Parthians knew of static electricity from rubbing objects against fur.\n\nIn modern times  Benjamin Franklin's famous "invention" of electricity by flying a kite in a thunderstorm turned out to be more fiction than fact, his theories on the relationship between lightning and static electricity sparked the interest of later scientists whose work provided the basis for modern electrical technology. Most notably these include Luigi Galvani (1737–1798), Alessandro Volta (1745-1827), Michael Faraday (1791–1867), André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), and Georg Simon Ohm (1789-1854). The late 19th and early 20th century produced such giants of electrical engineering as Nikola Tesla, Samuel Morse, Antonio Meucci, Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, Werner von Siemens, Charles Steinmetz, and Alexander Graham Bell.\nclick here please:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_electricity

The quote is actually - "Genius is 1% Inspiration and 99% perspiration", and it was quoted by Thomas Alva Edison the most famous American Inventor who, singly or jointly, held a world record 1.093 patents. In addition, he created the world's first industrial research laboratory, 1847-1931.

History of Television Time line\nTelevision was not invented by a single inventor, instead many people working together and alone, contributed to the evolution of TV. \n1831: Joseph Henry's and Michael Faraday's work with electromagnetism makes possible the era of electronic communication to begin.\n1862: Abbe Giovanna Caselli invents his "pantelegraph" and becomes the first person to transmit a still image over wires.\n1873: Scientists May and Smith experiment with selenium and light, this opens the door for inventors to transform images into electronic signals.\n1876: Boston civil servant George Carey was thinking about complete television systems and in 1877 he put forward drawings for what he called a "selenium camera" that would allow people to "see by electricity." Eugen Goldstein coins the term "cathode rays" to describe the light emitted when an electric current was forced through a vacuum tube.\nLate 1870's: Scientists and engineers like Paiva, Figuier, and Senlecq were suggesting alternative designs for "telectroscopes."\n1880: Inventors like Bell and Edison theorize about telephone devices that transmit image as well as sound. Bell's photophone used light to transmit sound and he wanted to advance his device for image sending. George Carey builds a rudimentary system with light-sensitive cells. \n1881: Sheldon Bidwell experiments with telephotography, another photophone.\n1884: Paul Nipkow sends images over wires using a rotating metal disk technology calling it the "electric telescope" with 18 lines of resolution. \n1900:  At the World's Fair in Paris, the 1st International Congress of Electricity was held, where Russian, Constantin Perskyi made the first known use of the word "television."\nSoon after, the momentum shifted from ideas and discussions to physical development of TV systems. Two paths were followed:\n1.Mechanical television - based on Nipkow's rotating disks, and\n2.Electronic television - based on the cathode ray tube work done independently in 1907 by English inventor A.A. Campbell-Swinton and Russian scientist Boris Rosing. \n1906: Lee de Forest invents the "Audion" vacuum tube that proved essential to electronics. The Audion was the first tube with the ablity to amplify signals. Boris Rosing combines Nipkow's disk and a cathode ray tube and builds the first working mechanical TV system.\n1907: Campbell Swinton and Boris Rosing suggest using cathode ray tubes to transmit images - independent of each other, they both develop electronic scanning methods of reproducing images.\nAmerican Charles Jenkins and Scotsman John Baird followed the mechanical model while Philo Farnsworth, working independently in San Francisco, and Russian émigré Vladimir Zworkin, working for Westinghouse and later RCA, advanced the electronic model.\n1923: Vladimir Zworykin patents his iconscope a TV camera tube based on Campbell Swinton's ideas. The iconscope, which he called an "electric eye" becomes the cornerstone for further television development. He later develops the kinescope for picture display.\n1924 - 1925: American Charles Jenkins and John Baird from Scotland, each demonstrate the mechanical transmissions of images over wire circuits. Photo Left: Jenkin's Radiovisor Model 100 circa 1931, sold as a kit. Baird becomes the first person to transmit moving silhouette images using a mechanical system based on Nipkow's disk. Vladimir Zworykin patents a color television system.\n1926: John Baird operates a 30 lines of resolution system at 5 frames per second.\n1927: Bell Telephone and the U.S. Department of Commerce conduct the first long distance use of TV, between Washington D.C. and New York City on April 9th. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover commented, “Today we have, in a sense, the transmission of sight for the first time in the world’s history. Human genius has now destroyed th

Realistically? The search for knowledge has led to, or had a significant contribution to, the development of microwaves, radar, radio, superconductivity, computers, refridgeration, digital cameras, the internet and much more. When the theories that underpin most of these inventions were first discovered and tested, many people asked the same question - how does this help me? And then 20 years later some clever engineer invents a little box that heats up food. So give it time - almost every invention know to man once started as someone saying "I wonder how this works?"
