Video - Edison's Lightbulb Revolution

Thomas Edison, one of the greatest inventors in history, is best known for inventing the electric light bulb. However, the journey to this invention was far from easy. Edison faced countless failures and setbacks along the way. Edison and his team conducted thousands of experiments trying to find the right material for the light bulb filament. They tested over 6,000 different materials without success. Many people doubted him, and some even called him foolish for persisting in what seemed like a hopeless endeavor. Despite the failures and criticism, Edison remained determined. He famously said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Finally, after much trial and error, Edison and his team discovered that a carbonized bamboo filament could produce a reliable and long-lasting light bulb. This invention revolutionized the world, providing a safe and affordable source of light that transformed daily life and industry.
