Today the web is celebrating the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Edison, American inventor and entrepreneur who was born in Ohio, on 11 February 1847. Remember is the Google logo, which pays tribute to Edison through a drawing of the best inventions of the genius that revolutionized the industry. Why should motoring enthusiasts wish to join the Thomas Edison, you say, well, obvious: the father of the bulb to the electric cars that will invade our countries in the coming years is a short step.
In 1912, Thomas Edison, along with Bob Burrell, design a car to electric traction, had been neglected for nearly a century in a garage in London, recently called into life with pleasure to discover that he was still working fine. The research done in the field of electric mobility by Edison were intended to develop long-lasting batteries (which lasted until the project was 30 years old!), Research from the first electric cars in the mid-nineteenth century were developed in laboratory by some European scientists.
Edison drove his first prototype electric car, powered by a 30-V capable of reaching 40 km / h, about 170 km, from Scotland to London. Why is the project to industrialize the Electric Car by Thomas Edison never went to the port? First, production costs were too high, but what looked away from Edison's this amazing invention was the meeting with a Henry Ford, the father of the automobile.
In a conversation between Ford and Edison, documented by some historians of the time, we read how "a young man convinced Edison to have in my hands something to carry on winning." This was the motor fuel much cheaper, lightweight and efficient electric motor designed by Edison. The same Ford said: "Reading the design project of my engine, Edison gave him a bang on the table that seemed to be out of it, the man who knew more electricity in the world said that the purpose for my motor gas was better than any electric motor that would never have been built for use in long distance.
" Today, the Ford engine gives way to the electric motor of Edison, the circle is closed, and who knows in the end you thank both the automobile industry, Ford to develop a technology that has facilitated the globalization of the automobile, Edison to take advantage of the happy intuition of electricity as motive power at low cost for cars of the future ...!
