When we think of "Murray" we think of "Bill Murray" because we grew up during the height of his career
Without any particular evidence to associate him with the obviously planted green metal "Murray" sign, we set about years ago determining whom he was and identified him as #HenryFord
That opened up a whole new vista as he was clearly marking himself in that life as a Masonic "ruffian" type along with #DustanHoffman #ThomasEdison and #BruceWillis #HarveyFirestone with their Seminole adventures

Around this time in 1897, Thomas Edison was likely celebrating receiving a patent for the Kinetograph, his early motion picture camera. The first films ever copyrighted were made with it, including this one from 1894, which the Library has preserved. It's colloquially known as "Fred Ott's Sneeze."

Der Tag der Vinyl-Schallplatte findet jährlich am 12.August statt.
Der #Tag_der_Vinyl_Schallplatte wurde im Jahr 2002 von dem US-Amerikaner #GaryFreiberg ins Leben gerufen, um an die #Erfindung des #Phonographen, im Jahr 1877 durch #ThomasEdison, zu erinnern. Um den Tag der #VinylSchallplatte als offiziellen Feiertag anerkennen zu lassen, wurde die #gemeinnützige #Organisation #VinylRecordDay gegründet, welche den Tag bis heute veranstaltet und promotet.

Thomas Edison National Historical Park
A handsome young man, Bryan Ferry vibes!
Orpheus, a poet and musician in mythology (makes me think of the song “Orpheus” by David Sylvian)
Spending part of gorgeous yesterday at Thomas Edison National Historical Park was magical. We’ve been there many times, but you can’t get enough of Thomas Edison. I love the statue of Orpheus holding a record. And the bed Thomas Edison slept in because he spent so many hours at work in his lab. Deaf and self-taught through books and tinkering he had over 1000 patents!
A New Jersey legend of sound and vision.
And I must say, he was handsome as a younger man too — Bryan Ferry vibes! I asked one of the tour guides if Edison still had family that is alive. He does, but they are very low-key about who they are. They did visit the park and one of the kids shouted out, “Tell them who we are!” So cute that they were proud!
I have other cool stories about happenings at the park throughout the years. It’s a very special place in my heart.
I was honored to report on the soft opening of the Black Maria replica back in the summer of 2024.
My husband is a lifetime member of the historical park, so we can go free whenever we want. But they do have times when the park is free to visit. It’s definitely worth it. Everyone who works there is kind and helpful to answer all your questions. There’s plenty of fascinating movie footage about Edison you can view at a theater inside (which is well air conditioned!), clean restrooms, and three floors filled with items to explore. Of course I favor the music room.
The actual bed (not a replica) Thomas Edison slept on in his lab, after working 70 hours or so.
The historical figure I’d love to have dinner with!

The historical legacy of Nikola Tesla has transitioned from a period of relative obscurity following his death in 1943 to a modern state of ubiquitous, if often distorted, cultural veneration.

Edison wyprzedził Noblistów o 130 lat? W jego żarówkach powstawał grafen, ale nikt go nie widział
Grafen. Supermateriał XXI wieku, za którego odkrycie przyznano Nagrodę Nobla w 2010 roku. Jest w prototypach baterii, filtrach i marzeniach o futurystycznej elektronice. Okazuje się, że Thomas Edison produkował go seryjnie już w 1879 roku. Tylko o tym nie wiedział.
Eksperyment z przeszłości
Naukowcy z Rice University postanowili zabawić się w „archeologów chemii”. Zamiast wymyślać nowe metody syntezy, sięgnęli po patent Thomasa Edisona numer 223898 z 1880 roku. Edison, szukając idealnego materiału na żarnik do swojej żarówki, eksperymentował ze wszystkim – od tektury po… bambus. I to właśnie zwęglony bambus okazał się strzałem w dziesiątkę, świecąc przez ponad 1200 godzin.
Lucas Eddy, doktorant z Rice, odtworzył ten proces w laboratorium. Kupił rzemieślnicze żarówki z bambusowym włóknem (tak, można takie dostać w Nowym Jorku) i potraktował je prądem, dokładnie tak jak robił to słynny wynalazca.
Srebrzysty ślad
Metoda, którą nieświadomie stosował Edison, to dziś tzw. „flash Joule heating”. Polega ona na błyskawicznym (rzędu kilkunastu sekund) podgrzaniu węgla do temperatury 3000 stopni Celsjusza.
Gdy Eddy spojrzał na wynik pod nowoczesnym mikroskopem elektronowym, zobaczył coś niezwykłego. Zwęglony bambus nie był tylko czarnym węglem. Miejscami pokrywał go „lustrzany, srebrzysty nalot”. Analiza spektroskopowa potwierdziła: to grafen turbostratyczny.
Dlaczego Edison przegapił Nobla?
Odpowiedź jest prosta: brak narzędzi. Grafen to warstwa węgla o grubości jednego atomu. W 1879 roku nikt nie dysponował mikroskopem, który pozwoliłby go dostrzec. Zresztą nie był też Nagród Nobla, Alfred Nobel swój testament spisał w 1895 roku, a pierwsze Noble trafiły do laureatów w 1901 roku. Wracając do Edisona, dla niego był to po prostu „efekt uboczny” procesu zwęglania. Co więcej, gdyby te żarówki świeciły dłużej, grafen i tak zamieniłby się z powrotem w zwykły grafit, bo w wysokiej temperaturze i przy długiej pracy warstwy węgla zaczynają się ponownie układać w strukturę objętościową.
Wnioski na przyszłość
Odkrycie z Rice University to coś więcej niż ciekawostka historyczna. Pokazuje, że w starych technologiach – lampach łukowych, pierwszych lampach rentgenowskich czy telegrafach – mogą kryć się odpowiedzi na współczesne problemy inżynierii materiałowej. Czasem wystarczy po prostu spojrzeć na stare patenty przez nowe mikroskopy.

¿Sabían que Thomas Edison, el "Mago de Menlo Park" y padre de la bombilla, también intentó inventar un teléfono para hablar con los muertos y espíritus? 👻Suena un poco loco tal vez, pero es algo que está registrado en una entrevista de 1920 para la American Magazine, Edison anunció que estaba trabajando en un dispositivo "sumamente delicado" para capturar las voces de "personalidades que han abandonado esta Tierra".
Edison no buscaba una "ouija tecnológica", sino aplicar un rigor científico a la idea del "más allá", creyendo que la personalidad y la vida eran indestructibles y podían afectar a la materia.
Aunque nunca se encontró un prototipo funcional, la idea del "necrófono" o "teléfono espiritual" sigue siendo uno de los proyectos más fascinantes y extraños de la historia de la ciencia por parte de Edison.

Ah, yes, the groundbreaking revelation that Paris had a moving sidewalk in 1900 🙄. Next, we'll uncover that people once used horse-drawn carriages too! 🚶♂️➡️🐎 Apparently, Thomas Edison filmed this earth-shattering moment, but don't worry, you can watch it online instead of traveling back in time⏳.

A fan of currently unknown provenance.
"For the past 26 years, this fascinating artefact has been in the possession of Singaporean antique collector and dealer Toh Chee Keong, better known as CK. The 60-year-old constantly faces the same two questions: Is the fan genuine? Did it really belong to Edison?"
