    František Křižík (July 8, 1847 – January 22, 1941) was a Czech engineer, industrialist and inventor. His most famous invention was the self-regulating arc lamp. He invented the light fountain, perfected electric trams, and many other devices. He was also involved in prototyping electric cars.
    In 1881 he achieved great success at the Paris World Exhibition. His arc lamp competed with Edison's light bulb because it was brighter - and won a gold medal. Křižík was called the Czech Edison, although he himself resisted this label.
