It's trying to go to school, 38 00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:17,639 right flight school. Okay. Now, the world's first electric roller coaster. 39 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,800 Grandville T. Woods April twenty three, eighteen fifty six through January thirtieth, 40 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:32,719 nineteen ten, introduced the Figure eight, the world's first electric roller coaster, 41 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,599 in eighteen ninety two, at Coney Island Amusement Park in New York, 42 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,919 Okay. Woods patched the invention in eighteen ninety three, and in nineteen oh 43 00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:55,240 one he sold it to General Electric. Woods was an American inventor who held 44 00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,159 more than fifty patents in the United States. He was the first African American 45 00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:11,199 mechanical and electrical engineer after the Civil War. Self taught, he concentrated most 46 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:17,120 of his work on trains and street cars. In eighteen eighty four, Woods 47 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:25,199 received his first patent for a steam baller furnace, and in eighteen eighty five, 48 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:32,560 Wood's patent and apparatus that was a combination of a telephone and a telegraph. 49 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:41,199 The device, which he called the Telegraphoning, would allow a telegraph station 50 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:48,000 to send voice and telegraph messages through Moore's code over a single wire. He 51 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:56,360 sold the rights to this device to the American Bell Telephone Company. In eighteen 52 00:04:56,399 --> 00:05:05,240 eighty seven, he patented the Psychocroneris multiplex railroad telegraph, which allowed communications between 53 00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:15,000 train stations from moving trains by creating a magnetic field around a cord wire under 54 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:23,040 the train. Woods caught small parks prior to pacticing the technology, and Lucas 55 00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:29,319 Phillis patted it in eighteen eighty four. In eighteen eighty seven, Woods used 56 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,600 notes, sketches, and a working model of the invention to secure the patent. 57 00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:42,160 The invention was so successful that Woods began the Woods Electric Company in Cincinnati, 58 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,639 Ohio, to market and sell his patches. However, the company quickly 59 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:56,959 became devoted to invention creation until it was dissolved in eighteen ninety three. Woods 60 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,720 often had difficulties in enjoying his success, as other inventors made claims to his 61 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:09,879 devices. Thomas Edison later fired a claim to the ownership of his pageant, 62 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,279 stating that he had first created a similar telegraph and that he was entitled to 63 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,519 the patent for the device. Woods was twice successful in defeating him himself, 64 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:29,199 proving that there were no other devices upon which he could have depended or relied 65 00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:34,600 upon to make his device. After Thomas Edison's second defeat, he decided to 66 00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:45,160 offer Grindville Woods a position at Edison Company, but Wood's declined powerful In eighteen 67 00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:54,560 eighty eight, Woods manufactured a system of overhead electric conducting lines for railroad models 68 00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:03,199 after the system pioneered by Charles Van d Polli a form no I apologize y'all, 69 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:13,360 a frame inventor who had by then installed his electric railway system in thirteen 70 00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:18,040 United States cities. Following the Great Blizzard of eighteen eighty eight, New York 71 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:27,240 City made Mayor Hugh J. Grant declared that all wires, many of which 72 00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:33,480 power the above ground rail system, had to be removed and buried, emphasizing 73 00:07:33,519 --> 00:07:42,560 the need for an underground system. Wood's patent built upon previous third rail systems, 74 00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:48,199 which were used for light rails and increased the power for use on underground 75 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:57,720 trains. His system relied on wires brushes to make the connections with metallic terminal 76 00:07:57,879 --> 00:08:07,040 heads without exposing wires by installing electrical conduct contractor wells. Once the train car 77 00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:11,000 had passed over, the wires were no longer live, reducing the risk of 78 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:18,519 injury. It was successfully tested in February eighteen ninety two and Coney Island on 79 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:24,120 the Figure eight roller coaster. And everybody know about Coney Island. We know 80 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,120 its leap bright in beach stand dog funny, Let's go back to school. 81 00:08:30,399 --> 00:08:37,879 In eighteen ninety six, Woods created a system for controlling electrical lights and beaters 82 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:45,639 known as the Safety Demo, which was economical, safe, and efficient, 83 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:52,639 saving forty percent of electricity use. Woods is also sometimes credited with the invention 84 00:08:52,879 --> 00:09:01,519 of air break for trains in nineteen oh four. Wild, however, George 85 00:09:03,039 --> 00:09:11,320 George Werston House patant the air brake almost forty years prior, making Wood's contribution 86 00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:22,120 and improvement to the invention. Woods died at a cerebellum hemorrhage at Harlem Hospital 87 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,120 in New York City on January thirty of nineteen ten, having sold a number 88 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:35,440 of his devices to such companies as A Weiningston House, General Electric, and 89 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:43,840 American Engineering. Until nineteen seventy five, his resting place was an unmarked grave, 90 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:52,960 but historian Ma Harris helped raise funds persuade several of the corporations that used 91 00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:01,080 Wood's inventions to donate money to purchase a headstone. It was erect at Saint 92 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:11,279 Michael's Cemetery in m Hurst, Queen's legacy. Baltimore City Community College established the 93 00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:20,639 The Baltimore City Community College established the the the Graamsville T. Woods Scholarship and 94 00:10:20,759 --> 00:10:26,440 Memory of the Inventor. In two thousand and four, the New York City 95 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:35,519 Transit Authority organized at exhibition on Woods that utilizes bus and train depots and a 96 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:45,440 issue of four million metro cars commemorating the inventors achievements and pioneering the third rail. 97 00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:52,679 And in two thousand and six, Woods was inducted into the National Inventors 98 00:10:52,879 --> 00:10:58,919 Hall of Fame. And, last, but not least, in April two 99 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:07,080 thousand and eight, the corner of Stillwell and mermayd As and Coney Island was 100 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:20,759 named Granville T. Woods Wade. Now that's major. Now that's major. 101 00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:24,000 Okay, Now that's me, and i'm'a tell you what stood out to me, 102 00:11:24,159 --> 00:11:28,799 y'all the most about this right here, Mr Granville T. Woods story, 103 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,600 the actual you know, inventor of the actual figure eight right the electric 104 00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:41,120 roller coaster, is that this man was inventing patents and changing the world that 105 00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:46,759 actually is around to this day. And here it is once he laid down 106 00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:52,480 the law with a patent. Okay, Thomas Edison. And if you know 107 00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:56,200 your knowledge, and you ever read or or or think and grow rich or 108 00:11:56,279 --> 00:12:01,080 or or if you ever read the Prosperity Bible, then you know that you 109 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,639 know they used Thomas Edison as an individual who or his character marked and being 110 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:13,080 persistent, and how many times he failed, he didn't let that distract him 111 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:18,240 from his goal to achieve his aim. And he made it clear that him 112 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:22,120 failing those you know many times was him learning like a million ways not to 113 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,080 do that one thing that he was describing to do, okay, until he 114 00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:28,720 actually mastered what he was striving to do. But what's so powerful about that 115 00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:37,279 is that Thomas Edison, after losing to mister T was okay, after losing 116 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:43,080 to Grindville two times, he wanted to hire him on man so In other 117 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,759 words, he saw something great that he was doing as a black man, 118 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,799 and then tried to steal it from him. And then when he proved that 119 00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:54,200 he was the invented, first wanted him to come and work for him. 120 00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:58,960 Now, how does that work? Listen? If that's not excellent to let 121 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,240 you know, then you can achieve anything that you put your mind to. 122 00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:05,679 Then I don't know what else to tell you, man, black history man, 123 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,480 So let's give it up.
