He's the first. He's the world's first electric roller coaster creator. Okay,
he's the world's first electric roller coastal creator. So this is real black
history. Okay, now this listen up. It's trying to go to school,
right flight school. Okay. Now, the world's first electric roller coaster.
Grandville T. Woods April twenty three, eighteen fifty six through January thirtieth,
nineteen ten, introduced the Figure eight, the world's first electric roller coaster,
in eighteen ninety two, at Coney Island Amusement Park in New York,
Okay. Woods patched the invention in eighteen ninety three, and in nineteen oh
one he sold it to General Electric. Woods was an American inventor who held
more than fifty patents in the United States. He was the first African American
mechanical and electrical engineer after the Civil War. Self taught, he concentrated most
of his work on trains and street cars. In eighteen eighty four, Woods
received his first patent for a steam baller furnace, and in eighteen eighty five,
Wood's patent and apparatus that was a combination of a telephone and a telegraph.
The device, which he called the Telegraphoning, would allow a telegraph station
to send voice and telegraph messages through Moore's code over a single wire. He
sold the rights to this device to the American Bell Telephone Company. In eighteen
eighty seven, he patented the Psychocroneris multiplex railroad telegraph, which allowed communications between
train stations from moving trains by creating a magnetic field around a cord wire under
the train. Woods caught small parks prior to pacticing the technology, and Lucas
Phillis patted it in eighteen eighty four. In eighteen eighty seven, Woods used
notes, sketches, and a working model of the invention to secure the patent.
The invention was so successful that Woods began the Woods Electric Company in Cincinnati,
Ohio, to market and sell his patches. However, the company quickly
became devoted to invention creation until it was dissolved in eighteen ninety three. Woods
often had difficulties in enjoying his success, as other inventors made claims to his
devices. Thomas Edison later fired a claim to the ownership of his pageant,
stating that he had first created a similar telegraph and that he was entitled to
the patent for the device. Woods was twice successful in defeating him himself,
proving that there were no other devices upon which he could have depended or relied
upon to make his device. After Thomas Edison's second defeat, he decided to
offer Grindville Woods a position at Edison Company, but Wood's declined powerful In eighteen
eighty eight, Woods manufactured a system of overhead electric conducting lines for railroad models
after the system pioneered by Charles Van d Polli a form no I apologize y'all,
a frame inventor who had by then installed his electric railway system in thirteen
United States cities. Following the Great Blizzard of eighteen eighty eight, New York
City made Mayor Hugh J. Grant declared that all wires, many of which
power the above ground rail system, had to be removed and buried, emphasizing
the need for an underground system. Wood's patent built upon previous third rail systems,
which were used for light rails and increased the power for use on underground
trains. His system relied on wires brushes to make the connections with metallic terminal
heads without exposing wires by installing electrical conduct contractor wells. Once the train car
had passed over, the wires were no longer live, reducing the risk of
injury. It was successfully tested in February eighteen ninety two and Coney Island on
the Figure eight roller coaster. And everybody know about Coney Island. We know
its leap bright in beach stand dog funny, Let's go back to school.
In eighteen ninety six, Woods created a system for controlling electrical lights and beaters
known as the Safety Demo, which was economical, safe, and efficient,
saving forty percent of electricity use. Woods is also sometimes credited with the invention
of air break for trains in nineteen oh four. Wild, however, George
George Werston House patant the air brake almost forty years prior, making Wood's contribution
and improvement to the invention. Woods died at a cerebellum hemorrhage at Harlem Hospital
in New York City on January thirty of nineteen ten, having sold a number
of his devices to such companies as A Weiningston House, General Electric, and
American Engineering. Until nineteen seventy five, his resting place was an unmarked grave,
but historian Ma Harris helped raise funds persuade several of the corporations that used
Wood's inventions to donate money to purchase a headstone. It was erect at Saint
Michael's Cemetery in m Hurst, Queen's legacy. Baltimore City Community College established the
The Baltimore City Community College established the the the Graamsville T. Woods Scholarship and
Memory of the Inventor. In two thousand and four, the New York City
Transit Authority organized at exhibition on Woods that utilizes bus and train depots and a
issue of four million metro cars commemorating the inventors achievements and pioneering the third rail.
And in two thousand and six, Woods was inducted into the National Inventors
Hall of Fame. And, last, but not least, in April two
thousand and eight, the corner of Stillwell and mermayd As and Coney Island was
named Granville T. Woods Wade. Now that's major. Now that's major.
Okay, Now that's me, and i'm'a tell you what stood out to me,
y'all the most about this right here, Mr Granville T. Woods story,
the actual you know, inventor of the actual figure eight right the electric
roller coaster, is that this man was inventing patents and changing the world that
actually is around to this day. And here it is once he laid down
the law with a patent. Okay, Thomas Edison. And if you know
your knowledge, and you ever read or or or think and grow rich or
or or if you ever read the Prosperity Bible, then you know that you
know they used Thomas Edison as an individual who or his character marked and being
persistent, and how many times he failed, he didn't let that distract him
from his goal to achieve his aim. And he made it clear that him
failing those you know many times was him learning like a million ways not to
do that one thing that he was describing to do, okay, until he
actually mastered what he was striving to do. But what's so powerful about that
is that Thomas Edison, after losing to mister T was okay, after losing
to Grindville two times, he wanted to hire him on man so In other
words, he saw something great that he was doing as a black man,
and then tried to steal it from him. And then when he proved that
he was the invented, first wanted him to come and work for him.
Now, how does that work? Listen? If that's not excellent to let
you know, then you can achieve anything that you put your mind to.
Then I don't know what else to tell you, man, black history man,
So let's give it up. Let's give it up for the one and
only Ranville T. Woods Man who created the first electric roller coach and Coney
y'alla Brooklyn shit. Then dog, let that be right there your motivation.
