ideas for an invention
Our science books are full of successful inventions of Thomas Edison like electricity, turntables, and many others, but there is hardly any mention of his mistake. One of its specific failures was his lack of ability, an effective way to excavate iron ore.

If he is successful in digging iron ore, it would have been a billionaire at that time and the possibilities that have been excavated, such as the creation of millions of jobs, and many other inventions.

Iron is the most economical of all metals for mining, and yet at the same time is not used in its pure form. Pure iron is very sensitive and can not be used for the manufacture of products. It is in the color of silver in its pure form. His is replaced by its gray color after it is combined with oxygen. Iron can not be any practical application in its pure form.

It was therefore important that an effective extraction process was discovered. For ten years, from 1880 to 1890, Edison, the many experiments, hired the services of scientists, is a novel way to extract iron ore. He was there for the iron ore for the steel mills of Pennsylvania.

It is from his comfortable office for work in the old iron mines are looking for an inexpensive way to keep up with the growing demand for steel. His attempts of testing and processing were always very expensive, and he had to sell all its shares in General Electric to finance his invention. His heirs must be regretting his decision today.

Edison could not succeed to the iron is no longer sufficient, low-grade ores. He had to finally abandon this project. He could never recover his money in that project. Later, he earned much money, after his work on the phonograph and movies etc.

It was a challenging task for Edison and the American economy to find an economic way to produce steel at cheaper prices. After 1840 the American iron industry was through a renewed American was not one of the largest steel producers in the world.

In 1844, government inspector has large deposits of iron ore from anthracite coal in the Great Lakes region. After that Pennsylvania became known as America's largest supplier of iron and steel.

A British engineer named Henry Bessemer invented a process for steel extraction. He does not fulfill the mission of Thomas Edison. He developed an iron smelting process Thursday, it was possible to remove large quantities of steel. This process is still of some manufacturers even today.

His invention was an inexpensive and efficient method for producing steel from iron ore. Yet another method has been refined by Abram S. Hewitt, the further improvement of Bessemer Andrew Carnegie. He soon became a steel tycoon, that through its improved processes for the development of the Siemens-Martin-converter and his preferred method, that of the American Bessemer steel producers.

The American steel industry has been revolutionized with the invention of the low cost of steel production. American industry was now the leader in the world in steel production. In 1873 alone, America produced nearly 115,000 tons of steel. It was now possible to use steel in many industries, because the decline in prices.

Automobile industry in America is the largest (almost 70%) users of steel in America.
