This phrase is almost forgotten today again at the hearing.Many people are interested in this name, ask about who invented the light bulb Ilyich?Try to understand.
About incandescent
Remember the children's riddle about the bulb, which can not eat?So that's about it, about the ordinary incandescent bulb, which is still often named after Lenin.Who invented the light bulb Ilyich?Well, certainly not the leader of the world proletariat!Although incandescent almost one hundred years, the question of their inventor answer is not so simple.
principle of operation is that an incandescent lamp.There is a glass bulb in it - the emitter wire (usually tungsten).On the wire is a current, it is heated, the electrical energy is converted into light.Let there be light!
Work on the creation of this unit from the middle of the 19th century were in the world, in Vol. H. And Russia.Scientists from many countries, experimenting with materials and forms a spiral, creating a lamp, to varying degrees, close to that which is familiar to the modern consumer.This invention is generally patented and the authors of such patents, perhaps a dozen.Who is considered the real author?In the West, most often called the inventor of the incandescent lamp American Edison.In Russia, remember names and Yablochkov Lodygina, considering it their authors so important for all claims.Speaking of Lodygin we spoke not long ago: in the USSR this name preferred not to remember.Indeed, a talented electrical engineer did not accept the 1917 revolution, he emigrated to the United States, where he died in 1923.But what all these scientists bikes is Lenin?
About Kashino village
This name rather pathetic, propaganda - light Ilyich.Photo, still preserved in the old archives, help recreate the atmosphere of a typical village 20-ies of the last century.Remote Russian village, dirt, darkness and backwardness - and suddenly the lights go out in the huts.Nothing that a lamp without a lampshade shabby hanging from the ceiling and barely smoldering.All the same, it is - a huge benefit of this - hope for progress, for the best.How not to perpetuate the name of the person to whom the people owe their communion to civilization?
mention the individual in the name of Lenin lighting device came after a trip to the village of Kashino leader in 1920 for the opening of the local power plant.Villagers previously inspired by his fiery speech at the congress of the Young Communist League, have decided on their own funds to electrify the village.No sooner said than done!With unused telephone wires and brought from Moscow dynamo its own residents was built local power supply.
And then the arrival of the leader in Kashino, his conversations with the peasants, speaking at a meeting widely reported in the Soviet press.It was more than propaganda campaign.The term "light Ilyich" firmly entered the lexicon of the Soviet man.
What electrification?
In the first years after the electrical theme was perhaps the highest priority.In early 1920, the State Commission for Electrification of Russia - electrification - designed to deal with problems.Later, we are talking about the electrification plan, which included not only the electrification of the country, but also the development of the economy as a whole."Bulb Ilyich" - a kind of symbol of the plan.
in the history of both the idea and its realization a lot of white spots.According to some reports, plans for a large-scale electrification of the country were considered even in tsarist times, and only the high costs and difficulties of the First World War (1914-1918) was not allowed to come to grips with their implementation.It's really to solve the problem of the country could begin only in December 1920 after the approval at the 9th Russian Congress of Soviets electrification plan.
plans and realities
introduced by the plan provides not only the electrification, but also equipping Russia.The motto is the word of the leader: "Communism - is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country."With all its utopian communist ideas Lenin understood perfectly the importance of energy for national development.
ambitious Bolshevik plan was executed successfully and exceeded.New plants were laid, mastered the industrial area (Donbass, Kuzbass), and, of course, was built a number of new power stations would create a kind of energy skeleton of the USSR.A powerful impetus was developed transport and communications, large-scale construction projects have arisen in a number of areas of the country.It is believed that electrification plan was the basis for industrialization, which allowed the country to a fundamentally different level of development.Yet even in the 80s of the last century, the USSR had many settlements where "light Ilyich" was still just a dream.
Conclusion
«revolutionary" name an ordinary lamp for many years was not true, but recently sounded again.The reason - a new generation of lighting products.Halogen, fluorescent, energy-saving, LED - which only light can not be found right now on sale!In order not to get lost in this abundance, appropriate terminology is important."Bulb Ilyich" - a good old-fashioned, familiar to all of us light.That's right, of course, say differently: filament lamp.Only it is boring.And why neglect the names that are popular for several decades?
