He loves science and often saves money. Buy scientific books, newspapers and chemicals. The instruments for his experiment are some bottles and jars picked from the garbage.

Edison once sold newspapers on the train, and the conductor agreed that he should occupy a corner in the smoking compartment. He moved chemicals and bottles and cans there, sold out newspapers and did all kinds of interesting experiments. When the train started, it gave a sudden shock and knocked down a bottle of white phosphorus. Phosphorus burns as soon as it touches the air, and many people come to put out the fire with Edison.

The conductor was so angry that he threw out all Edison's experiments and slapped him hard, which made him deaf in one ear.

Edison's determination to study science did not waver. He scrimped and saved, and started his chemical experiment again. Once sulfuric acid burned his clothes, and once nitric acid almost blinded his eyes. He was not frightened by the danger, but still stubbornly did the experiment. Edison tried to produce electric lamps, and I don't know how many experiments he made to find a filament with low price and long service life.

He often works in the laboratory for dozens of hours in a row. When he is really tired, he lies on the experimental platform and sleeps for a while. With such unremitting efforts, he finally found a suitable filament and invented the electric light. Later, Edison invented movies, phonographs and so on. In his life, he invented more than 1000 kinds of things.
