Hydroelectric power was also important during the industrial revolution at the beginning of the 1800âs and provided mechanical power for textile and machine industries. Probably the most important year in hydropower history was in 1831 when the first electric generator was invented by Michael Faraday. This layed the foundation for us to learn how to generate electricity with hydropower almost half a centurey later, in 1878.
No, it wasnât Thomas Edison. Light bulbs were in use long before Edison applied for the patent in 1879. British inventor Humphry Davy invented an incandescent light bulb in 1801 and created the âarc lampâ in 1809. In 1835, Scottish inventor James Bowman Lindsay demonstrated a constant electric light in Dundee.n the late 1870s, Hiram Stevens Maxim â who later, in 1884, invented the first fully automatic machine gun â developed a light bulb and in 1880 installed the first electric lights in a New York City building (the Equitable Life Building at 120 Broadway).
