Thomas Edison, muvambi wemwenje wemagetsi, aivewo mumwe we businesspeople inonyanya kukosha munhoroondo. Unoziva here kuti nei? Zvivako zviviri zvinoita kuti munhu aongororwe semuzvinabhizimusi: vanogona kugadzira chimwe chinhu chakakosha kuhupenyu hwevanhu, kana kuve nemuono wakanaka wemusika (kushandura chimwe chinhu chakagadzirirwa kuita budiriro yekutengesa). Kuburikidza nemapoinzi maviri aya, tine tsananguro inenge yakakwana yekuti basa raThomas Edison raive chii. 2h6v5a
Aive mwana mudiki, aikwanisa kumisa rabhoritari pazera ramakore gumi kuti aite zvaakaedza. kuvandudzwa kwetekinoroji. Akapedza chikamu chouduku hwake achiedza kurera vana, achitarisirwa nguva dzose nababa vake. Lucky kwatiri, sezvo nhasi tinogona kunakidzwa nezvisikwa zvinoshandisa zvinhu zvaEdison sehwaro (se magirobhu akangwara), baba vacho havana kukwanisa kumisa unyanzvi hwejaya racho, pasinei nokuti vaiedza zvakadini. Nekuda kweizvi, nhasi tine camcorder, marambi emarudzi ese uye matekinoroji anobva kune anopfuura zviuru patents yaEdison muhupenyu hwake hwose.
Muna 1876, pazera remakore makumi maviri nemapfumbamwe, Thomas Edison akavhura rabhoritari yekutsvagisa muMenlo Park, New Jersey muU. yekutanga incandescent rambi commercial. Saka, makore 14 gare gare, akagadzira Edison General Electric Company. Munguva imwe cheteyo, mukwikwidzi waCharles A. Coffin Thomson-Houston Kambani yakabuda seimwe kambani ine hunyanzvi muchikamu chemagetsi. Ndiko kwakava kutanga kwegakava rinotyisa pamusika.
Nekuwedzera kwemakambani ese ari maviri, basa rekuvaka zvigadziriso zvemagetsi uchishandisa iwo chete matekinoroji ane patented, zvekuti, muna 1892, Thomas Edison naCharles A. Coffin vakagadzira kubatanidzwa kwemakambani avo, vachigadzira General Electric Company - imwecheteyo yaunoziva kubva kumidziyo yemumba yemazuva ano. Kuti GE iite chimiro uye ikure, yakagamuchira mari kubva JP Morgan, muoni uyo akaona nyanzvi yakasarudzika muna Thomas Edison. Kubatanidzwa kwemugadziri uye muzvinabhizimisi kwakaratidza muvambi weAmerica pfungwa yebhizimisi yaakanga asati aziva.
GE's first research laboratory yakagadzirwa muna 1900, mudura diki padhuze nemusha wekambani yemaindasitiri sainzi uye injinjiniya mukuru, Charles Proteus Steinmetz. Akaita kuti kambani igadzire nzvimbo yavanogona kuenderera mberi nekuvandudza zvigadziriso munzvimbo dzemwenje nemagetsi. Sarudzo yacho yakakonzera hurongwa hwekuwedzera kwekambani. Kubva payakavambwa, laboratori yekutsvagisa yakaunza matekinoroji mazhinji kune vatengi kutanga-ruoko.
Kwemakore, mari yekambani yakabhadhara. General Electric masayendisiti akaunganidza zviuru zvematendi uye maviri Nobel Prize: Irving Langmuir akahwina Mubairo weNobel muChemistry (muna 1932) uye Ivar Giaever mubairo weNobel muFizikisi (muna 1973). Parizvino, GE, yakatangwa naThomas Edison, ine vashandi vanopfuura 3 uye 5 state-of-the-art tsvakurudzo zvikamu, zviri munyika dzakadai seU.SA, India, China, neBrazil.
Wakanakidzwa here nekudzidza nezvenyaya yeuyu muvambi wekuAmerica akachinja kosi yetekinoroji, achigadzira hwaro hwezvatinoziva nhasi? Tiudze!
