Windevoid Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Where did Edison get the glass bulbs for his light bulb experiments and his other equipment? And where did Tesla get his electrical equipment and supplies? Goes ditto for the other electricity guys and women of the era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansont Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 A lot of equipment was probably built "in-house", since before it was a mature field, you couldn't go out and just buy it. So back in the day, someone wound coils, and made Leyden jars, and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureGenius Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) Tesla designed almost every piece of equipment he used but if something already existed He would use that , he actually short circuited one of his own power plants because he pulled to much electricity during one of his many experiments . Also patent law wasn't what it is now there were many patent disputes concerning radio parts Tesla designed.
