Edison on fuel, electricity and future power
In a New York interview Edison at 64 discusses feeding the human dynamo, prefers minimal meals, six hours sleep, and constant work on phonograph and moving pictures. He envisions electricity replacing steam for transport, improves wind and solar power, and foresees refined telephony and aviation motors. He dismisses war tech and urges central plants, irrigation with electricity, and ongoing experiments across senses and new forces.
