Is Thomas Edison the man we should all thank for giving us those glowing orbs of light? It's actually kind of a hard question to answer!

[@carlosportuguez3461]

You should have mentioned Tesla...

[@BigJoe2306]

Tesla??

[@DrZpook]

Think you're forgetting someone here..

[@prayforharambe6200]

Like who

[@VTeslaV]

He owes me 20000 dollar!

[@centaur1a]

Only $20,000? How about several life times in royalties?

[@roggamer100]

centaur1a + inflation.

[@hamzatu2]

Its true!

[@RossHamMil]

video called who invented the lightbulb. Q: Who invented the lightbulb? A: I don't know, but did you know that Thomas Edison improved the design?

[@jktomas]

But did he really improve it or was it someone smarter who worked for Edison?

[@orglee]

jktomas Like Nikola Tesla for instance? :p

[@beejh.3944]

jktomas I think the guys name was Lewis latimer who actually made the final product more affordable

[@levongevorgyan6789]

Lewis credited Edison, calling the whole thing, "the Edison System". And Tesla had nothing to do with light bulbs.

[@JustInTime0525]

Nikola Tesla disliked this video.

[@GeographicScholar]

Another person to be mentioned is Lewis Latimer, who came up with a method to improve the production of carbon filaments.

[@prayforharambe6200]

There were a lot of people who were not mention but for sure there were people like Lewis Latimer who helped as I image there probably were more than 50-100 people helping Edison, you only hear of him because he is black.

[@cjwidener5397]

Tesla?

[@Ayplus]

Edison was a great businessman. Took a lot of other inventors ideas. Such is life

[@levongevorgyan6789]

He WORKED with those inventors, and provided means for them to express their genius alongside him.

[@hamzatu2]

All those who believe Tesla deserved a mention, go ahead and like this/dislike the video. In a sign of our solidarity and support for one of the greatest minds in history!

[@mehdichannel5835]

Awesome video full of information thanks a lot for sharing

[@faffytunes]

Yes it’s about time all these things are corrected in the History books like the first recorded sound, the first flight, the first computer and many others

[@dotter8]

To expand a little on some previous comments, Edison tried to promote the use of direct current to homes, industry and so on. It would have worked, but there would have been generation stations every few blocks -- that's how far DC can travel. Nicola Tesla, (Serbian genius inventor and former Edison employee), with help from Westinghouse, promoted alternating current. Some of its advantages are that AC can travel further down a wire than DC, its voltage can be transformed up and down without (much) waste through simple electromagnetics and its alternations can be used to directly control the speed of motors and other equipment.

[@levongevorgyan6789]

You typed all that on a D/C device, you know that?

[@michaelsand6744]

And being a legendary self-promoter and patent-troll, Edison was good at getting credit and recognition for his work (and that of others)

[@jameslearing970]

Can you do a video on Tenreca and convergent evolution.

[@traveljapan1579]

The Egyptians invented the light bulb!

[@RainierKine]

I guess this proves the nature of science and technology. There is no one true inventor. Everyone improves on the predecessor. And that togetherness.

[@jalalamer2361]

Hey test tube here is a suggestion on a video, what makes you left handed or right handed

[@Gol.D-Ash]

Jalal Amer D News already has a video of this, don't think test tube will make a new one. Search left handed Dnews, you'll probably find it! :D

[@JoeTom1993]

so who invented it...

[@vincentpellegrino789]

Very good question. Just what did Edison actually invent?

[@angjelosbegaj9261]

You should make a video about water boiling in lower than 100°C

[@lindsl16]

wow!! learned a lot!!

[@JLH0714]

You didn't learn anything actually. Edison invented the lightbulb. Notice how the video didn't mention who they thought invented it instead of Edison.

[@prayforharambe6200]

Who is Telsa?

[@AmritSingh-hq6xe]

Just visited America Today from Canada Land they have a lot of different flavors of food nuff said

[@rurutuM]

GOD

[@oscarf3194]

Yea baby

[@ericcholakians5315]

Lord Gaben

[@NebulusVoid]

rurutu M Flying Spaghetti Monster!!!

[@shadman248]

no one talks about Tesla :(

[@slammds15]

Yeah what about tesla? Edison was a knob.

[@dutchgamerguy2446]

Edison doesn’t deserve the credit

[@jimbatshetrim5023]

Tesla > Edison

[@roggamer100]

But we don't use Edisons Generator.Edison offered him $50k to improve his DC Generator. After compleeting the job when asked for the amount he laughed it off saying he was joking and said "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor."

[@levongevorgyan6789]

That's what Tesla claims. And only Tesla. It also goes against everything we know about Edison, who was too stingy to make extravagant agreements like that. Most likely, it was a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding that didn't ruin their friendship.

[@komnenovicstudos9450]

tesla pepol i hate amarican natsonalisam

[@jalalamer2361]

FIRST

[@lloydmorro7684]

You stole this video

[@theonlyJOEYGARTMAN]

capitalist.

[@JLH0714]

Oh Jesus, who comes up with these fake videos?

[@ElLocoBedoya]

What a load of lies in this video. Where's Tesla? Edison doesn't even deserve to be mentioned. What a crook. About to unsubscribe.

[@kikojoseph4817]

Test tube is blatant propaganda and I hate that lying piece of shit shill Trace Dominguez. Especially his lies about fukashima. He's an annoying homosexual (which embarrasses me), who probably does nasty crap like ass to m*uth. That's why what he says smells like bullshit. They're all paid propagandists. Ugly hearted people do anything for a paycheck.

[@levongevorgyan6789]

Tesla was working on A/C at the time, you fucking idiots.
