What are some interesting facts about Alexander Graham Bell?

Answer 1

While he is most famous for the telephone he later did lots of other interesting things.

Bell spent the rest of his life in scientific research, both in person and by paying for the experiments of others. In the US he collaborated with S.P. Langley, builder of a steam-powered aircraft in the 1890s, and funded the early atomic experiments of A.M. Michelson. Bell himself worked on the photoelectric cell, the iron lung, desalination of seawater, and the phonograph, and attempted to breed a "super race" of sheep at Baddeck.

It was also Bell who suggested to the publishers of National Geographic that they should include photographs with the stories -- thus creating the National Geographic magazine as we know it now.

Bell, Alexander Graham (1847 - 1922)

Scottish - born US scientist and inventor. He was the first person ever to transmit speech from one point to another by electrical means. This invention - the telephone - was made in 1876, when Bell transmitted speech from Paris, Ontario, to Brantford, Ontario (a distance of 13 km / 8 mi). Later Bell experimented with a type of phonograph and, in aeronautics, invented the tricycle undercarriage.
