Temuan-temuan Thomas A. Eddyson yang Tidak Diungkap

0 komentar

Bila Anda lihat tema Google Doodle (logo Google) hari ini, maka Anda akan mendapati bahwa hari ini adalah hari ulang tahun Thomas Alva Edison yang ke-164. Lahir di Ohio pada 1847, Edison adalah seorang pengusaha sekaligus ilmuwan dan penemu besar Amerika Serikat yang memiliki begitu banyak hasil penelitian. Ia juga pendiri 14 perusahaan termasuk General Electric. Edison telah mematenkan lebih dari 1000 penemuannya di AS. Hasil penelitian besarnya meliputi lampu bohlam, ponograf (gramofon), kamera bergerak, dan dinamo. Namun, ada pula penemuan-penemuan yang tak terungkap oleh publik. Situs Gearlog mencatat setidaknya ada lima penemuan Edison yang belum begitu banyak diketahui orang.


Mesin Bersuara (1868)
Jauh sebelum Amerika menggunakan mesin diebold untuk penghitungan suara, Edison sudah menawarkan alat hasil temuannya bernama Vote Recorder. Alat ini menghitung suara dengan model pertanyaan Ya atau Tidak. Sayangnya, mesin penghitung suara ini memiliki waktu proses yang lambat. Sampai-sampai salah seorang Ketua Komite Kongres berkata, “Bila ada sebuah penemuan di bumi ini yang tidak kita inginkan, mesin inilah dia,” katanya.

Boneka Bersuara (1877)

Tak hanya menemukan fonograf, Edison juga membesut sebuah versi miniatur dari pemutar musik itu, yang kemudian ditempatkan di dalam sebuah boneka. Fonograf itu kemudian bisa memainkan rekaman sajak untuk anak-anak, sehingga boneka itu seolah-olah berbicara.


Baterai Mobil Listrik (1880)
Saat Edison memperkenalkan baterai nikel-besi, ia kemudian memimpikan untuk membuat mobil listrik. Beberapa pembuat mobil seperti Detroit Electric dan Baker Electric, kemudian mengadopsi teknologi yang diperkenalkan Edison itu. Namun, belakangan dalam sebuah pesta makan malam, Henry Ford memberikan sebuah catatan kecil kepada Edison berbunyi “Mobil listrik telah mati.” Setelah itu, perkataan itu terbukti kebenarannya. Mimpi Edison tak pernah kesampaian.

Film Frankenstein (1910)
Pada 1891 Edison mematenkan kamera film pertama yang dinamakan Kinematograph. Pada 1910, perusahaannya, Edison Manufacturing Company Studio, membuat film Frankenstein , sebuah film yang ia adaptasi dari novel horor klasik karya Mary Shelley.


Telepon khusus Arwah (1920)
Temuan ini adalah salah satu subyek yang masih terus diperdebatkan. Edison sempat memberitahukan kepada beberapa media tentang upayanya untuk menemukan cara untuk menelepon orang yang telah meninggal dunia. Pada 1921 ia mengklarifikasi hal itu dengan mengatakan kepada New York Times, bahwa penemuannya itu bisa mendeteksi unit kehidupan yang di antara yang mati. Namun, banyak yang mengatakan bahwa Edison gagal total dalam upayanya kali ini. Bila alat ini sudah berhasil ditemukan, mungkin saja yang akan ditelepon paling dulu adalah arwah Edison sendiri.

If I'm a bad person,
you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle
I mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge
but if you're gonna judge me
Well sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same,
yeah we're not the same
Oh we're not the same

yeah the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept
that the change is good
It's good
It's good

You treat me just like
another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

You treat me just like
another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing
that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it
The same tricks that,
that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
well now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same,
yeah we're not the same
Oh we're not the same

yeah we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept
that the change is good
It's good
It's good

You treat me just like
another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out

You treat me just like
