Many modern very necessary instruments were invented a long time ago.We, the people who use these things in life, sometimes unaware that worked on their design by Leonardo da Vinci.So far it is difficult to tell which was invented scuba gear.Many inventors has tried to make it look the way we see it today.
Historical information
problem underwater breathing interested person for a long time.The world-famous artist, anatomist, engineer, and a fully developed man, Leonardo da Vinci, too, sought to create a structure that would allow under water for a long time.Da Vinci was born in 1452.You can imagine the long history has scuba gear.After the tube was invented scuba diver great artist of the Renaissance.
Visiting Da Vinci the city of Venice Senate asked him to come up with a device to attack enemy ships out of the water.It is impossible to say exactly what year invented the aqualung, but it was then that the artist has developed a special set of diving, which consisted of a mask, two reed pipes and diving bell made of cork.Air is fed into the tube through the bell, which floats on the water surface.Leonardo da Vinci invented the now famous tube J-shaped form.Its length was 61 cm, had to swim close to the surface, but to fully enjoy the beauty of the underwater world, it made it impossible.Da Vinci invented and backpack filled with air.I create and subdomain - but they were not meant for the feet and hand.
Charles and Maurice Spaulding Fernez
Another historical figure who has contributed to the improved design of scuba - is Charles Spaulding.He was a pastry chef and lived in Edinburgh.But in addition he was an engineer and an amateur: Spalding has made many useful changes to the bell divers.He died while diving in Dublin Bay in 1783.
Maurice Fernez - it is the Frenchman who invented respirators, gas masks and improved underwater breathing apparatus.He has equipped helmets one-way valve, has participated in the establishment of stand-alone equipment for diving under water.
And yet, why in the world believed that the inventor of the aqualung is Jacques-Yves Cousteau?It was he grateful for the divers scuba gear, which is used today throughout the world.
Development Rukeroylya and Deneyruza
In the middle of the nineteenth century and Rukeroyl Deneyruz tried to create such a device, which reduces the pressure to a depth.They acted independently and were not familiar.Established membrane allowed to inhale air from the tank to breathe - water.The device turned out decent, but still has a lot of disadvantages: it does not become autonomous and depended on the hose, which supplied air for a longer stay under water.
Many inventors are working on equipment for scuba divers.It has changed the whole costume in which the diver plunges, and a mask and suit, and even flippers.Each contributes to the improvement of the aqualung.But the main thing - it is the time associated with the respiratory system, which provides air diver.His contribution has made the famous French oceanographer - invented the aqualung, which is used till now.
Cousteau and Gagnan
young officer Cousteau married the daughter of the owner of the corporation "Air Liquide".His wife's father has provided financial assistance to Cousteau for research and introduced him to the staff engineers.Together with Emil Gagnan, engineer Corporation, he worked on the scuba gear, in which the system is automatically supplied air respiratory desired pressure.Feed air is at any depth.It is this development gave the diver comfort and the possibility of an extended voyage.
In 1943, tests were carried out on the River Marne equipment.In the summer of Jacques-Yves Cousteau continued to experience it in the sea water.After a few modifications, Cousteau brought up to standard machine, which is now called diving.And the name was patented - Aqua Lung.In many countries, such equipment is referred to as "Scuba» - Scuba.
Now there is no doubt as to who invented the modern scuba gear.After the book Cousteau, "The World of Silence", in 1953, got the name of the device Aqua Lung.Now the company "Air Liquide" held the rights to the production of all types of equipment for diving.
«dive saucer»
became clear about what was invented scuba gear, which is used by modern divers divers.That was in 1943, and it was Yves Cousteau perfected it to the current state.But this is not the only contribution to the creation of the French oceanographer devices for immersion.In addition, it owns the invention of the underwater house "diving saucer", he filmed an interesting series of the underwater world.
many wondered who invented the aqualung "diving saucer"?And some still do not know that this is a very small submarine boat, which is nicknamed saucer.Cousteau - is addicting nature: loved the sea, built homes under water, studying the language of fish.He graduated from the Naval Academy and had to build a career officer.But he had another passion - a sports car.Passion for them was fatal for him - he had an accident on one of them and had to be treated for a long time, and restore health.Spending a lot of time near the sea, swimming and diving for the recovery of the body, Cousteau can not imagine yourself out of this abyss.
The palm
Despite the fact that a few hundred years, humanity working to improve apparatus for diving, it is worth noting that the core of the invention belong to the Leonardo da Vinci and Jacques-Yves Cousteau.Without breathing tubes da Vinci would not continue to further develop the aqualung.And without a system developed by Cousteau, it would be impossible to produce immersive offline and be under water a long time.
What year invented scuba gear?This question is no single answer.Its improvement in different centuries and has been taking part a lot of inventors and engineers.To give someone one palm do not want the main thing that now there is a technique that allows you to explore the underwater world.This will help scientists, archaeologists know the secrets hidden from the person at the depth of the seas and oceans.
