Who invented the light bulb? (Double points if you can name more than one)
Alessandro Volta - developed the first practical method of generating electricity, the voltaic pile.
Humphrey Davy - produced the world's first electric lamp by connecting voltaic piles to charcoal electrodes
Warren de la Rue - developed an efficiently designed lightbulb using a coiled platinum filament in place of copper, but the high cost of platinum kept the bulb from becoming a commercial success
Joseph Swan - tackled the cost-effectiveness problem of previous inventors and by 1860 he had developed a lightbulb that used carbonized paper filaments in place of those made of platinum
Thomas Edison - realized that a thin filament with high electrical resistance would make a lamp more practical because it would require only a little current to make it glow.
