Henry Ford captured Edison's Last Breath!

Henry Ford was inspired by Thomas Alva Edison. From a very young age he admired him. He wanted to show his inventions to Edison.

The "Last breath" in the Museum

In 1896 Ford had created his first experimental automobile — the Ford Quadricycle — during his off-time. Ford had his first chance to meet his hero Edison, and was even able to explain his new automobile to the prolific inventor. Edison was impressed, and is said to have slammed his fist down and shouted "Young man, that's the thing! You have it! Your car is self contained and carries its own power plant." Edison himself had been working on the idea, but had only been considering electricity as the power source, so the idea of a gas engine was a new and somewhat novel one.

When Edison was sick, Ford helped him a lot , he was beside him. Hence, captured Edison's last breath in a test tube. We can find that last breath in the Ford Museum.

There is a further mystery and irony of this "last breath" test tube. It would seem as if Edison had quite a last breath indeed, as the Edison estate holds a collection of 42 test tubes all supposedly containing Edison's last breath.
