Who Invented the Light Bulb?<\/strong>\u00a0If there is an invention that changed the life of human beings, that is the light bulb, because what would become of us if we did not have light when we got home? But of course, it has not always been as easy as it is for us, to press a switch and make the light come on.<\/span><\/p>\n The form of energy known as electricity has a very ancient origin. In the\u00a017th century<\/strong><\/a>, Gueriche produced an electric spark thanks to a rotating sulfur balloon.<\/span><\/p>\n The first to use this energy was\u00a0Alexander Volta<\/a><\/strong>, an Italian whom Napoleon commissioned in 1801, to demonstrate his battery, the first continuous source of electrical energy in history.<\/span><\/p>\n Twenty years later, the British Faraday started the electric motor. He also invented an electricity generator and a transformer to be able to modify the voltage.<\/span><\/p>\n Even so, there are many people who believe that the only inventor of the light bulb was Thomas Edison, but the truth is that what he achieved was to perfect what Joseph Swan had invented previously, making it work more effectively and much longer.<\/span><\/p>\n It tested in different ways but only managed to make the life of this light bulb very ephemeral, lasting just two hundred hours, in addition to offering a rather poor performance, since it gave little light, flickering, and decreasing in intensity.<\/span><\/p>\n The main problem that the inventors of the light bulb encountered was how to prevent the filaments of the light bulb from melting due to heat.<\/span><\/p>\n For years it was tried with different types but the expected results were not achieved.<\/span><\/p>\n As a curiosity, you will be interested to know that there is a light bulb that has been on for more than 100 years, has been working continuously since 1901, and is located in the United States, in a fire station in California.<\/span><\/p>\n The light bulbs came to Spain in\u00a01881<\/strong>\u00a0when Dalmay created an electricity company in Barcelona that was dedicated to manufacturing them.<\/span><\/p>\n Also, may interest you:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n With this idea, he won the \u201cGeneva International Inventors\u2019 Show\u201d award.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Who Invented the Light Bulb?\u00a0If there is an invention that changed the life of human beings, that is the light bulb, because what would become of us if we did not have light when we got home?
