comfort of our lives today is provided due to the abundance of technical equipment and a variety of household appliances, without which we are already difficult to manage.We take them on a subconscious level, without thinking about how they work, who their inventor.Man by nature is always striving for more, he has ambitious plans systematically overcoming all difficulties.Examples of how the people forgetting about the troubles, sought to forward enough.
However, we should never forget about his past, especially since there were plenty of examples that may be useful now.Then there were quite different tasks, it would seem more simple and elementary, but imagine if it was not an ordinary light bulb, as if we are living?We probably would not think of modern technology, space flight, and powerful computers, and is still trying to establish your own life if you forget who invented the light bulb.
We used to attribute the invention to specific people, though sometimes the result of a collaborative effort of many people, but, for example, who invented the light bulb, which now is in every house?
light in every home
have to understand that people live without electricity could not, therefore, made every effort to come up with something to illuminate their homes.In the most ancient times used the fires, stoves and fireplaces, then used candles.But the use of live fire carries a number of inconveniences and even some danger.
In antiquity used clay pots filled with olive oil and a cotton wick.Later, on the Caspian coast used similar lamps only used as fuel oil.Incidentally, the first wax candles have appeared only in the Middle Ages and were considered important enough for the invention of his time.
Later, with the development of science, many scientists struggled to solve this problem.One of these was Leonardo da Vinci, who brought the many ideas in science.It is also partly possible to consider those who invented the first light bulb.Although it was a kerosene lamp, he simply modified existing ideas.But the problem remained the same - an open flame near the fuel supply, in fact, did it with Molotov cocktails.
incandescent bulb
As mentioned above, the invention of light bulb - it's a long process works.In the 19th century came the first prototype secure the fixture.He made a Russian electrical engineer and scientist Pavel Yablochkov.It Yablochkov - the one who invented the light bulb.Also to his credit and the first electric candle.His invention had a lot of shortcomings, primarily intermittent light output and low durability.But, nevertheless, they were used in large numbers for street lighting, as well as important objects of Russian theaters, shops, central squares, etc.
However, in fairness it should be noted that the question of who invented the light bulb, it is impossible to name only one name.After all, the device itself has come a long way of evolution.In the period from 1840 to 1870.Many scientists have been working to develop an efficient electric lighting, but the result was not until in 1872 the Russian engineer Alexander Lodygin not lucky.He's the one who invented the incandescent lamp.Already in 1873 in the streets of St. Petersburg were two light bulbs Lodygina.
about these achievements known American scientist Thomas Edison.He used Lodygina operating time, and tried to improve it, solving the problem with durability.He still found the right composition of carbon filament that allowed the lamp to burn a few hundred hours.It can also be attributed to the inventors of the lamp, while he worked more on improving, combining different research scientists already.
