The way electricity came in the first half of the world before Hanumulu

The US is currently at Hawaii. The country joined the United States as the fifth state in 1959. Although some people did not listen to Hawaii, its capital city 'Hanululu' might have heard the name correctly. The name of the name of the Hanululu is not as pragmatic, but from one side but the city is quite ahead. Electricity came here before most of the world's cities, even before many European cities. How is that possible?

The words of 1881 David Kalkauya of Hawaii decided to go out on the journey to Prithvi. It is said that he has traveled the whole world to India, Egypt, Europe and the United States. It was an exceptional thing for the kings of that time. Kalakaoya was exceptionally exceptionally different from others. He was interested in where others were busy exploiting their own state, where they were going on earth and how they could be implemented in their country.

When he came to Paris in August 1881, the International Exposition of Electricity was being held there. Recent innovations on dynamo, battery, electric lamp etc. were being displayed at the ceremony. Along with this, various researchers also discussed their research paper. King Kalakua attended the exhibition. Seeing the exhibition, he became interested in learning more about electricity.

Then came to Vienna, and he became acquainted with the New York Times co-founder George Jones. Jones promised to make him meet Edison, knowing the king's interest in electricity. On September 25, the King went to meet his Attorney General Armstrong and George Jones Edison, in his New York office. Explain the technical aspects of electric light to Edison King. Alongside, he also talked about the business of power generation.

Then the kerosene lamp was used to illuminate the road to Honolulu. King Kalakua was interested in developing this condition. But he could not decide on whether to use gas or electricity for the lamp. King Edison said that before making this decision, he would like to see a complete practical exhibition of electrical illumination. She had to wait five more years to see him.

On July 21, 1886 Honolulu businessman Charles Otto Berger organized the exhibition. The exhibition, organized by the band's music and military parade, has been organized in a whirl-out with around five thousand visitors. The Kalolauer Palace Illolani Palace (Iolani palace) was lighted on that day in the light of electric light. A few months after the king's birthday, the entire palace and its surroundings are illuminated in electric light.

Here is an interesting fact that the electronic illumination of the Iolani Palace was not the first electric light in Hawaii. Its success is a sugar trader named Claus Sparkles. He has always provided electric lighting to keep working on night and day in his factory. Raja and his family members visited several times to see their electrical illumination. Like the light of the day, this artificial lighting system has thrown everyone. But his arrangement was limited to his factories only.

There were two major obstacles in the establishment of electricity in Hawaii. One is to bring the necessary equipment to the island and the other is to ensure proper supply of fuel. All of the machinery including dynamo, turbine, piping valve etc. were brought from the United States. Hypnotism was the usual choice to keep in mind the terrain and climate of Hawaii to produce electricity. The electricity of the first electric light station is produced from Nuwuwanu Falls, located six kilometers away from the palace. But its water flow was not always the same, so coal was used as fuel for the next power plant.

There is a fun story about their electricity in this energy. When King Edison met, he talked about this electric fuel. At this time, the King's Attorney General asked Edison, "Can you bring your electrical cabin with the sea?"

Edison replied, "Yes. But the cost will be much higher."

Then he joked, "Nay, you could have come to our state. We have a huge volcano. It produces thousands of tons of coal per day. You will be able to make electricity for the whole country by putting your boiler on it."

Edison could not catch his joke, asking him interested, "Do you collect your coal from there?"

They did not respond negatively, rather they import coal from Australia. But there is ambition for the volcano. That failed trick was quite a laughing game. It is to be noted that the process of generating electricity from coal was not practically practical. So many people mention the incident, describing Armrest as an interest in coal production from coal. But it is actually a futile joke.

However, back to Hawaii again. Coming to 1886, Kalakua decided to expand the trade of his kingdom. Meanwhile, other modern technologies, including power and power for investment, got special importance. Two years later, on March 23, 1888, the electric light reached the road of Honolulu. Princess Kaiyulani opened the electric lighting in street light lights pressing the switch. Then a company named 'E.O. Hall and Son' started establishing generators in home and various establishments.

By 1890, about eight hundred homes of Honolulu started shining with electric lighting. Until then, even the people of the United States and Europe did not get the power of electricity. After one year, the EO was founded by the 'Hawaiian Electric Company'. The Hawaiian Electric Company is probably the only electric company in the world that is formed by the dream and enthusiasm of a king. But unfortunately, the king did not see the final form of what he started. In 1891, he died of kidney disease while traveling to California. After that, his sister took charge of the state of Liluqualani state. But his rule did not last long. The monarchy of Hawaii ended in 1893.

Just five days before the end of his reign, Queen Lilouqualani enacted a law on electricity control. The only applicant for ten years, the Hawaiian Electric Company, leased the electricity to the people of Honolulu. But the government has the responsibility of supply electricity to the main power stations and street lights.

Thus, by the hand of the royal family, the electricity started in Hawaii. The story is not as technological as it is, more than a modern-minded king. Who was interested in science and technology, was interested in bringing the benefits of modern technology to the people of his country. Because of his curiosity and sincere interest, Europe has been known to have been a remote island in many cities of Hawaii, Hawaii, in the city of Honolulu, with electricity.
