    Hiking

    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.

    František Křižík was a Czech engineer, industrialist and inventor. His greatest inventions were improvements to the carbon arc lamp, for which he patented an automatic regulation, and his contribution to the electrification of Bohemia by building power stations and installing electric railways and trams. He was often praised as the "Czech Edison" by the journalists of his time.
