Edison

Electric light

After many experiments with platinum and other metal filaments, Edison returned to a carbon filament. The first successful test was on October 22, 1879; and lasted 13.5 hours. Edison continued to improve this design and by November 4, 1879, filed for U.S. patent 223,898 (granted on January 27, 1880) for an electric lamp using "a carbon filament or strip coiled and connected ... to platina contact wires." Although the patent described several ways of creating the carbon filament including "cotton and linen thread, wood splints, papers coiled in various ways," it was not until several months after the patent was granted that Edison and his team discovered a carbonized bamboo filament could last over 1200 hours.

Edison bought light bulb U.S. patent 181,613 of Henry Woodward that was issued August 29, 1876 and obtained an exclusive license to Woodward's Canadian patent. These patents covered a carbon filament in a rarefied gas bulb.

In 1878, Edison formed the Edison Electric Light Company in New York City with several financiers, including J. P. Morgan and the members of the Vanderbilt family. Edison made the first public demonstration of his incandescent light bulb on December 31, 1879, in Menlo Park. It was during this time that he said, "We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles."

 

Options Galore

pjGLO is packed with options - And they can be configured via the slick Joomla! 1.5 backend template manager -OR- the frontend toolbar.

Very Cool 3D Carousel

carouselLet us show you how to setup this fancy mootools-based carousel on your site. As you know, Joomla! 1.5 comes with Mootools built right in, so it's well equipped to handle such effects effortlessly.

Can You Say "Flexible"?

You can easily adjust the width of not only the overall layout of this template, but also the left and right columns' widths can be set INDEPENDENTLY of one another!

Bright Ideas Just Glo

We love all that Mootools makes possible in the Joomla! 1.5 framework. One such enhancement is the reflection script we've added to this template. Any image to which you apply the class "reflect" magically becomes reflected like this one below.
