His first power station was on Manhattan Island, New York.

  3. What did Thomas contributed to science The classical example of thermionic emission is the emission of electrons from a hot metal cathode into a vacuum (archaically known as the Edison effect) in a vacuum tube...Edison built several experiment bulbs, some with an extra wire, a metal plate, or foil inside the bulb which was electrically separate from the filament. He connected the extra metal electrode to the lamp filament through a galvanometer. When the foil was given a more negative charge than the filament, no charge flowed between the foil and the filament...

Various devices created in the mid 19th century made use of the persistence of vision by displaying sequences of images in rapid succession which caused the brain to link these images together into an uninterrupted, continuous motion. To us these early attempts would look jittery and full of stutters but early viewers were astonished. Inventors capitalized on this amazement by using words like phantasm, magic, and fantasy as part of the names given to these early moving picture machines.
