Introduction

Very often are eager to see whether it is a specific method that successful inventors are to be adopted by others. In my opinion, you should then look no further Thomas Edison, one of the greatest minds of the nineteenth and twentieth century, inventors, the world has a durable light bulb, and turntables - a few inventions that revolutionized and modernized our world. In fact, Edison patented 1,093 inventions in the U.S. alone, without the numerous patents in European countries like Germany, France and England.

Edison and its methodology

Yes, what method has to follow Thomas Edison, when he refers to his numerous ideas? Many researchers studied and bibliographic Edison, claiming that the lives of the famous inventor, do not use a systematic approach to work on his ideas, in fact, many argue that Edison favored the so-called random approach. In my opinion, the above figures are misleading and should be taken with a large grain of salt.

Thomas Edison not rush into conclusions and methodically examined all the available literature on the subject he was. Edison once wrote the following --

"If I have something, I begin with reading, that everything has been done along this line in the past - that is what all these books in the library. I see what has been achieved at great labor and expense in the past. I have data from many thousands of experiments as a starting point, and then I have thousands more. "

Respect the work of other

One can clearly see that Thomas Edison had the utmost respect for the researchers who worked before him, either successful or unsuccessful. Famous inventor realized early that his success to work done by others - Edison carefully analyzed the facts by others learned their mistakes and those mistakes to avoid in the future.

In terms of trial-and-error method

Edison has used trial and error (or random), but in another context. After Edison formulated and documented his ideas, inventors used "trial and error" approach in determining the best materials that are used in his inventions. In those days, just put the research was on the physical and chemical properties of most materials, including gases and metals. Edison had to rely on his own experiments and observations to see a list of materials that are strong enough to be used in his inventions.

Abstract
