famous inventor of the world created a lot of good for humanity.Their benefit to society can hardly be overestimated.Many brilliant discoveries have saved many lives.Who are they - the inventors, famous for their unique developments?
Archimedes
This man was not only a great mathematician.Thanks to him, the whole world knew what the mirror and siege weapon.One of the most famous designs - Archimedes screw (auger), with which you can effectively bailing.It is noteworthy that the technology used today.
Leonardo da Vinci
inventors, famous for their brilliant ideas do not always have the opportunity to translate ideas into action.For example, the drawing of a parachute, airplane, a robot, a tank and a bicycle, which appeared as a result of painstaking work by Leonardo da Vinci, for a long time remained unclaimed.At that time, there was simply no opportunity for engineers and implementation of such ambitious plans.
Thomas Edison
inventor of the phonograph, the telephone and the tube microphone was a famous American scientist.In January 1880, he issued a patent for an incandescent lamp, which later became famous Edison on the entire planet.However, some do not consider him a genius, noting that the inventors, known for its development, worked alone.As for Edison, he helped a group of people.
Nikola Tesla
great genius of this invention have been implemented only after his death.Everything is explained simply: Tesla was so reserved man that nobody knew about his work.Thanks to the efforts of the scientist was discovered polyphase system of electrical current, which led to the emergence of commercial electricity.In addition, he formed the foundations of robotics, nuclear physics, computer science and ballistics.
Alexander Graham Bell
Many inventors, famous for their discoveries, and helped to make our lives better.The same can be said about Alexander Bella.Thanks to his diligent work people were able to communicate freely, being thousands of kilometers away from each other, and all - because of the phone.Bell also invented the audiometer - special device that determines deafness;device to search for the treasure - the prototype of the modern metal detector;the world's first airplane;model submarine, which he called Alexander hydrofoil boat.
Karl Benz
This scientist has successfully implemented the main idea of his life: a vehicle with the motor.Thanks to him we now have the opportunity to ride in cars.Another valuable invention Benz - the internal combustion engine.Later, it was organized by the company for the production of cars, which today is known worldwide.This Mercedes Benz.
Edwin Land
This famous French inventor has devoted his life to photography.In 1926, he managed to open a new view of the polarizer, subsequently dubbed "Polaroid".Land founded the Polaroid company has issued patents and another 535 inventions.
Charles Babbage
this English scientist in the nineteenth century worked on the first computer.It was he who named the unique device a computer.Because while humanity does not have the necessary knowledge and experience, Babbage's efforts were unsuccessful.However, the brilliant ideas are not passed away: Howard Aiken and Konrad Zuse able to realize them in the middle of the twentieth century.
Benjamin Franklin
this renowned politician, writer, diplomat, statesman, satirist, and was also a scholar.The great invention of mankind, which saw the light thanks to Franklin, this bifocal glasses and the flexible urinary catheter, and a lightning rod.Interesting fact: Benjamin fundamentally not patented any of his discoveries, because he believed that all of them - the heritage of humanity.
Jerome Lemelson Hal
such great inventions of mankind as a fax machine, cordless phone, automated warehouse and a cassette tape, were presented to the public by Jerome Lemelson.In addition, these scientists have developed a technology of the diamond coating and some medical devices that help in the treatment of cancer.
Mikhail Lomonosov
This recognized genius variety of Sciences organized the first Russian university.The most famous private invention of Mikhail Vasilyevich - wind machine.It was intended to raise the special meteorological instruments.According to many experts, it is the author of Lomonosov blueprints for modern aircraft.
Ivan Kulibin
This man not for nothing called the brightest representative of the eighteenth century.Ivan Kulibin from an early age interested in the principles of mechanics.Through his work, we now use navigation instruments, clocks with alarm, water acting engines.For the time these inventions were something from the category of fiction.Last genius even became a household word.Kulibin now called a man with the ability to make amazing discoveries.
Sergei Korolev
In the sphere of his interests was manned cosmonautics, aircraft equipment, design the rocket and space systems and missile weapons.Sergei Pavlovich largely contributed to space exploration.He created the "Vostok" and "Voskhod" SAMs "217" and the long-range "212", as well as rocket plane, equipped with a rocket engine.
Alexander Popov invented the radio and the radio is the Russian scientist.Unique discovery was preceded by years of research into the nature and propagation of radio waves.
genius physicist and electrical engineer born in the family priest.At Alexander had six brothers and sisters.Already in his childhood he jokingly called the professor, as Popov was a shy, skinny, awkward kid, can not stand the fights and noisy games.In the Perm Theological Seminary Alexander S. began to study the physics of the book Gano.His favorite pastime was the assembly of simple technical devices.These skills are very useful in the future when creating Popov physical instruments for their own important research.
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
Discovery of the great Russian inventor allowed to withdraw aerodynamics and space to a new level.In 1897 Tsiolkovsky finished work on wind tunnel.Due to the allocation of subsidies, he calculated the resistance of the ball, cylinder and other bodies.The data was widely used in his works Nikolai Zhukovsky.
In 1894 Tsiolkovsky constructed an airplane with a frame made of metal, but the opportunity to build such a device appeared only twenty years later.
controversial issue.The inventor of light bulb - who is he?
On the creation of the unit, providing light worked in ancient times.The prototype of modern lamps were earthenware jars with wicks made of cotton yarns.Ancient Egyptians poured into such container of olive oil and set fire to it.The inhabitants of the coast of the Caspian Sea was used in similar devices other fuel material - oil.The first candles made in the Middle Ages consisted of beeswax.Well-known Leonardo da Vinci worked hard to create a kerosene lamp, but the world's first safe lighting device invented in the nineteenth century.
still tense debate about who is the honorary title of "inventor of light bulb."The first is often called Pavel Nikolayevich Yablochkov, worked all his life as an electrician.He created not only the lamp but also the electric spark.The last unit was widely illuminated streets.Wonder candle burned and a half hours, after which the janitor had to change it to a new one.
in 1872-1873.Russian engineer and inventor Lodygin created an electric lamp in the modern sense.Firstly it emits light for thirty minutes, and after evacuation of air from the device is considerably increased.In addition, the first to invent the incandescent claimed Thomas Edison and Joseph Swan.
Conclusion
inventors all over the world gave us many devices that make life more comfortable and more diverse.Progress does not stand still, and if even a few centuries ago to implement all pans simply did not have the technical capabilities, today translate ideas into action much easier.
