Top 10 Inventions by Thomas Edison (That You've Never Heard Of)

Without these top 10 inventions of Thomas Alva Edison, our lives would be very different. Most of Edison's inventions fall into eight main categories: batteries, electric lights and power, phonographs and sound recording, cement, mining, motion pictures, telegraphs and telephones. But while the Wizard of Menlo Park is remembered for his major inventions, such as the incandescent electric light and the phonograph, his tireless mind also came up with some ideas that aren't so well known and some that weren't welcomed by the public.

10 Inventions by thomas edison that you've never heard of are mentioned below.

Electrographic Vote-recorder
Edison was a 22-year-old telegraph operator when he received his first patent for a machine he called the electrographic vote-recorder. He was one of several inventors at the time developing methods for legislative bodies, such as the U.S. Congress, to record their votes in a more timely fashion than the time-honored voice vote system.

Pneumatic Stencil Pen
Edison invented the ancestor of the tattoo gun, the pneumatic stencil pen. This electric pen, which Edison patented in 1876, used a rod tipped with a steel needle to perforate paper for printing purposes. It's important on its own as one of the first devices that could efficiently copy documents.

Magnetic Ore-separator
Edison's laboratory was preoccupied with developing a magnetic ore-separator and putting it to practical use.

The Electric Power Meter
An array of meters, which prove handy when you’re trying to figure out how much power a person or business is consuming.

Method of Preserving Fruit
Another Edison invention came about from the laboratory's work with glass vacuum tubes while developing the incandescent light bulb.

Alkaline Battery for Electric Cars
Edison believed cars would be powered by electricity, and in 1899 he began to develop an alkaline storage battery that would power them.

Concrete House
Edison Portland Cement was used in a lot of structures around New York City during the building boom of the early 1900s, the concrete houses never caught on.

Concrete Furniture
Why should a young couple go into debt to purchase furniture that will last only a few decades? Edison proposed that for half the money, they could obtain a house full of concrete furniture that would endure for eternity.

Phonograph for Dolls or Other Toys
Miniaturised the phonograph and insert it into a doll or other toy, giving the formerly inarticulate plaything a voice of its own.

The Spirit Phone
Taking the idea of the telephone and the telegraph a bit further, Edison announced in October of 1920 that he was working on a machine to open the lines of communication with the spirit world. But he did not develop one.
