The child again puzzled me with a sudden question: “Dad, what inventions did the Russians make?” And as luck would have it, I didn’t immediately remember anything except the radio and electric welding. Well, he also told me about the satellite. And he climbed into the tyrnets. I found a whole list - look under the cut. There was a lot I didn't know about:

Incandescent lamp
The device in its current form is known as the “Edison light bulb.” Meanwhile, Edison only improved it. The first creator of the lamp was a Russian scientist, member of the Russian Technical Society, Alexander Nikolaevich Lodygin. This happened in 1870. Lodygin was the first to propose using tungsten filaments in lamps and twisting the incandescent filament in the shape of a spiral. Edison patented the incandescent lamp only in 1879.

diving apparatus
In 1871 A.N. Lodygin created a project for an autonomous diving suit using a gas mixture consisting of oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen had to be produced from water by electrolysis.

Caterpillar
The first caterpillar propulsion device was proposed in 1837 by staff captain D. Zagryazhsky. Its caterpillar propulsion system was built on two wheels surrounded by an iron chain. And in 1879, the Russian inventor F. Blinov received a patent for the “caterpillar track” he created for a tractor. He called it “a locomotive for dirt roads.”

Electric welding
The method of electric welding of metals was invented and first used in 1882 by the Russian inventor Nikolai Nikolaevich Benardos (1842 -1905). He called the “stitching” of metal with an electric seam “electrohephaestus.”

Airplane
In 1881 A.F. Mozhaisky received Russia's first patent ("privilege") for an aircraft (airplane), and in 1883 he completed the assembly of the first full-scale aircraft. Since the time of the Mozhaisky aircraft project, not a single designer of mankind has proposed a fundamentally different aircraft design.

Radio
On May 7, 1895, Alexander Stepanovich Popov for the first time publicly demonstrated the reception and transmission of radio signals at a distance. In 1896 A.S. Popov transmitted the world's first radio telegram. In 1897 A.S. Popov established the possibility of radar using a wireless telegraph. And in Europe and America it is believed that radio was invented by the Italian Guglielmo Marconi in the same 1895.

A television
Boris Lvovich Rosing On July 25, 1907, he filed an application for the invention of a “Method for electrically transmitting images over distances.” A real breakthrough in image clarity of electronic television was the “iconoscope”, invented in 1923 by Vladimir Zvorykin, a scientist and emigrant from Russia. For the first time in history, a moving image was transmitted over a distance in 1928 by inventors Boris Grabovsky and I.F. Belyansky. The first devices were called not TV, but telephoto.

Parachute
The first design of a backpack parachute was proposed in 1911 by the Russian military man G.E. Kotelnikov. Its dome was made of silk, the slings were divided into 2 groups. The canopy and lines were placed in the backpack. Later, in 1923, Kotelnikov proposed an envelope backpack for stowing a parachute.

Video recorder
The world's first video recorder was developed by Russian scientist, emigrant from Russia Alexander Matveevich Ponyatov and sold by Ampex on April 14, 1956.

Artificial Earth satellite
The world's first artificial satellite is considered the beginning of the space age of mankind. Launched in the USSR on October 4, 1957 (Sputnik 1). The creation of an artificial Earth satellite, led by the founder of practical astronautics S.P. Korolev, scientists M.V. Keldysh, M.K. Tikhonravov, N.S. Lidorenko, V.I. Lapko, B.S. Chekunov, A.V. Bukhtiyarov and many others.

Nuclear power plant
The world's first pilot nuclear power plant was launched in the USSR on June 27, 1954 in Obninsk. Before this, the energy of the atomic nucleus was used primarily for military purposes. The concept of “atomic energy” appeared.

Nuclear icebreaker
All nuclear icebreakers existing in the world were designed, built and launched in the USSR and Russia.

Tetris
The most famous computer game, invented by Alexey Pajitnov in 1985.

Laser
The first laser, it was called a maser, was made in 1953 - 1954. N.G. Basov and A.M. Prokhorov. In 1964, Basov and Prokhorov received the Nobel Prize in Physics.

Computer
The world's first personal computer was not invented by the American company Apple Computers in 1975, but in the USSR in 1968 Soviet designer from Omsk Arseny Anatolyevich Gorokhov. Copyright certificate No. 383005.

Electric motor
Jacobi Boris Semenovich invented the electric motor in 1834.

Electric car
A passenger two-seater electric car was developed in 1899 by Ippolit Vladimirovich Romanov. The electric car varied its speed from 1.6 km/h to a maximum of 37.4 km/h. Romanov also implemented a project to create a 24-seater omnibus.

Spaceship
Mikhail Klavdievich Tikhonravov, who worked at OKB-1, began work on creating a manned spacecraft in the spring of 1957. By April 1960, a preliminary design of the Vostok-1 satellite ship was developed. On April 12, 1961, on the Vostok spacecraft, USSR pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin made the world's first flight into outer space.

The history of the discovery of penicillin is well known. The first modern scientist to draw attention to the amazing properties of mold was Ernst Duchesne in 1897. He carried out the necessary research and reported encouraging results to the Pasteur Institute in Paris. But venerable scientists simply brushed aside the “fantasies” of the young physician. The second, more successful, discoverer of the revolutionary drug was the American Alexander Fleming in 1929.
For quite a long time, the antibiotic remained an experimental drug, only in 1939 penicillin began to be produced in industrial quantities. And it was very useful to the Allies in the Second World War. By the way, the British explained the delay in opening a second front by saying that before the start of active fighting they needed to produce a sufficient amount of antibiotics.
Commendable care for their wounded soldiers, to say the least. But the sad thing is that Soviet doctors never received a recipe for a miracle cure from the Americans. Although they really asked for it. Penicillin was needed by frontline medicine like air. And Soviet scientists invented the drug again.
In 1943, Zinaida Ermolyeva received penicillin using her own technology. Interestingly, the drug turned out to be stronger than its overseas counterpart. American scientists were invited to get acquainted with the new discovery. They were convinced of the benefits of Ermolyeva’s drug and asked for a sample for careful study in their laboratories. Permission came from the very top, the sample went to America.
But colleagues from the United States, studying the Russian drug, were perplexed. It was no different from the American one. Only years later it became known that intelligence officers had replaced the samples and sent overseas the penicillin that the Americans themselves had brought for comparison. Apparently this was a small but pleasant revenge for previous delays.

When they tell you that Russia is the birthplace of bast shoes and balalaikas, grin in this person’s face and list at least 10 points from this list. I think it's a shame not to know such things.

Just 200 years ago, the world lived without electricity, good transport, without television, mobile phones, the Internet and without many other things that we cannot do without today. Unfortunately many modern technologies were not invented by Russian inventors and scientists. But in fact, our country has something to brag about. Here are the most significant Russian inventions created by our compatriots.

Carbon filter mask

Who invented: N. D. Zelinsky

N. D. Zelinsky invented protective mask from exposure to poisonous gases used by the enemy during the First World War. The mask was based on absorbent carbon, which successfully neutralized most of the poisonous gases used in those years.

Backpack parachute

Who invented: Kotelnikov G.E.

The world's first backpack parachute, which in principle is still used to this day, was invented by the self-taught Russian inventor Gleb Kotelnikov. The first parachute test took place in 1912.

According to legend, Gleb saw a woman in the theater with a piece of cloth folded on her back, who then, through simple manipulations, turned the folded cloth into large scarf. This is exactly what was possible and enlightened the inventor, who came up with a new way of folding a parachute.

Mortar

Who invented: Gobyato L.N.

Gobyato Leonid Nikolaevich during Russo-Japanese War in 1904-1905 he invented the mortar, which was a classic cannon on wheels that used mortar shells to fire. A new device (mortar) made it possible to launch mines along a ballistic trajectory. This made it possible to fire from a cannon at enemy trenches and mines at a certain angle and from a high trajectory of the projectile.

Torpedo

Who invented: Alexandrovsky I.F.

Ivan Fedorovich Aleksandrovsky is the author of the first Russian mobile mine (torpedo), as well as the creator in 1865 of the first Russian submarine.

The first Russian assault rifle

Who invented: Fedorov V.G.

Vladimir Grigorievich Fedorov is the author of the first Russian automatic rifle, which can safely be called an “automatic”, since the rifle could fire bursts.

The machine was created before the outbreak of the First World War. Beginning in 1916, the Fedorov rifle began to be used in combat.

Radio

Who invented: Popov A.S.

Who invented the radio receiver? The debate has been going on for a long time. And it is quite possible that its author is our Russian scientist, Russian physicist and electrical engineer Alexander Stepanochiv Popov.

Popov showed his first radio receiver in 1895 at a meeting of the Physico-Chemical Committee in St. Petersburg.

Unfortunately, the scientist did not patent it. Eventually Nobel Prize for the invention of radio was given to G. Marconi.

Inventor of television and electrically based television broadcasting

Who invented: Zvorykin V.K.

Zvorykin Vladimir Kozmich developed the iconoscope, kinescope and color television. However, he made most of his inventions in the United States, where he immigrated from Russia in 1919.

Video recorder

Who invented: Ponyatov A.M.

Like Zvorykin, Alexander Matveevich Ponyatov in the years civil war in Russia, he immigrated to the United States, where he founded the Ampex company, which in 1956 introduced the world's first commercial video recorder. One of the authors of the invention is A.M. Ponyatov.

The world's first movie camera

Who invented: Timchenko I.A.

It is officially believed that cinema was born in 1895, when brothers Louis and Auguste Lumières announced the invention of the movie camera and received a patent for it. At the end of 1895, the brothers also organized the world's first paid film show in Paris.

But in fact, the first movie camera was invented by our Russian scientist Joseph Timchenko, who, even before 1895, had already demonstrated the first movie camera to the public.

The world's first film show took place in 1893 in Odessa, where the author of the invention showed the public footage of cavalrymen on a white sheet of paper.

Plaster casts

Who invented: Pirogov N.I.

During Caucasian War in 1847 Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov invented the world's first plaster casts. He used dressings soaked in starch, which proved very effective.

Compression-distraction device

Who invented: Ilizarov G.A.

Ilizarov Gabriel Abramovich created a compression-distraction device that can be used in orthopedics, traumatology, surgery, for curvature of bones, fractures and other defects of the limbs.

The world's first machine for the treatment of cardiopulmonary diseases

Who invented: Bryukhonenko S.S.

Russian Soviet physiologist, Doctor of Medical Sciences, created the world's first artificial blood circulation apparatus and proved that a person can recover from clinical death. Also, Sergei Sergeevich Bryukhonenko proved to the whole world that open heart surgery is not science fiction. In addition, the invention of the Russian scientist made it possible to transplant organs, including the possibility of heart transplantation.

Founder of Transplantology

Who invented: Demikhov V.P.

Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov invented the technology of human organ transplantation, becoming the founder of high-tech medicine in the field of transplantology. By the way, Vladimir Demikhov became the first in the world to transplant lungs and create a model of an artificial heart.

Thanks to his numerous experiments on dogs and his knowledge as a scientist, his technology for human organ transplants has saved thousands of lives.

Glaucoma treatment technology

Who invented: Fedorov S.N.

Svyatoslav Nikolaevich Fedorov made a huge contribution to the development of radial keratotomy. In 1973, he was the only one in the world to perform eye surgery on patients with early stages of glaucoma. A year later, the doctor began to use his own technology for treating myopia, using certain cuts on the cornea. Fedorov invented the entire technology of eye surgery himself.

Today, thousands of operations are performed all over the world using Fedorov’s method.

Electric lamp

Who invented: Lodygin A.N.

Russian engineer Alexander Nikolaevich Lodygin invented the first electric light bulb, which was a vacuum flask with an internal core.

Arc lamp

Who invented: Yablochkov P.N.

The great inventor Pavel Nikolaevich Yablochkov invented arc lamps. These disposable lamps were even used in Europe to light streets.

In 1908-1911 he built his first two simple helicopters. The carrying capacity of the apparatus, built in September 1909, reached 9 pounds. None of the helicopters built could take off with a pilot, and Sikorsky switched to building airplanes.

Sikorsky's airplanes won top prizes at a military aircraft competition

In 1912-1914, he created the Grand (Russian Knight) and Ilya Muromets aircraft in St. Petersburg, which laid the foundation for multi-engine aviation. On March 27, 1912, on the S-6 biplane, Sikorsky managed to set world speed records: with two passengers on board - 111 km/h, with five - 106 km/h. In March 1919, Sikorsky emigrated to the United States and settled in the New York area.

The first experimental helicopter, the Vought-Sikorsky 300, created by Sikorsky in the USA, took off from the ground on September 14, 1939. Essentially, it was a modernized version of his first Russian helicopter, created back in July 1909.

His helicopters were the first to fly across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans(with in-flight refueling). Sikorsky machines were used for both military and civilian purposes.

He is the creator of the first accurately dated printed book "Apostle" in the Russian Kingdom, as well as the founder of a printing house in the Russian Voivodeship of the Kingdom of Poland.

Ivan Fedorov is traditionally called “the first Russian book printer”

In 1563, by order of John IV, a house was built in Moscow - the Printing House, which the tsar generously provided from his treasury. The Apostle (book, 1564) was printed in it.

The first printed book in which the name of Ivan Fedorov is indicated ( and Peter Mstislavets who helped him), it was “Apostle”, work on which was carried out, as indicated in the afterword to it, from April 19, 1563 to March 1, 1564. This is the first accurately dated printed Russian book. The following year, Fedorov’s printing house published his second book, “The Book of Hours.”

After some time, attacks began on printers from professional scribes, whose traditions and income were threatened by the printing house. After the arson that destroyed their workshop, Fedorov and Mstislavets left for the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.

Ivan Fedorov himself writes that in Moscow he had to endure very strong and frequent bitterness towards himself, not from the tsar, but from state leaders, clergy and teachers who envied him, hated him, accused Ivan of many heresies and wanted to destroy God’s work (i.e. printing). These people drove Ivan Fedorov out of his native Fatherland, and Ivan had to move to another country, which he had never been to. In this country, Ivan, as he himself writes, was kindly received by the pious King Sigismund II Augustus along with his army.

Russian physicist and electrical engineer, professor, inventor, state councilor, Honorary electrical engineer. Inventor of radio.

The activities of A. S. Popov, which preceded the discovery of radio, included research in the field of electrical engineering, magnetism and electromagnetic waves.

On May 7, 1895, at a meeting of the Russian Physical and Chemical Society, Popov made a report and demonstrated the world’s first radio receiver that he had created. Popov ended his message with the following words: “ In conclusion, I can express the hope that my device, with further improvement, can be applied to the transmission of signals over a distance using fast electrical oscillations, as soon as a source of such oscillations with sufficient energy is found».

On March 24, 1896, Popov transmitted the world's first radiogram over a distance of 250 m, and in 1899 he designed a receiver for receiving signals by ear using a telephone receiver. This made it possible to simplify the reception circuit and increase the radio communication range.

The first radiogram transmitted by A. S. Popov to the island of Gogland on February 6, 1900, contained an order for the icebreaker Ermak to go to the aid of fishermen carried out to sea on an ice floe. The icebreaker complied with the order, and 27 fishermen were rescued. Popov established the world's first radio communication line at sea, created the first military and civilian radio stations, and successfully carried out work that proved the possibility of using radio in ground forces and in aeronautics.

Two days before his death, A.S. Popov was elected chairman of the physics department of the Russian Physico-Chemical Society. With this election, Russian scientists emphasized the enormous merits of A. S. Popov to Russian science.

Cherepanov brothers

In 1833-1834, they created the first steam locomotive in Russia, and then in 1835 - a second, more powerful one.

In 1834, at the Vyisky plant, which was part of Demidov’s Nizhny Tagil factories, Russian mechanic Miron Efimovich Cherepanov, with the help of his father Efim Alekseevich, built the first steam locomotive in Russia entirely from domestic materials. This word did not yet exist in everyday life, and the locomotive was called a “land steamer.” Today, a model of the first Russian steam locomotive, type 1−1−0, built by the Cherepanovs, is kept in the Central Museum of Railway Transport in St. Petersburg.

The first locomotive had a working weight of 2.4 tons. Its experimental trips began in August 1834. The production of the second locomotive was completed in March 1835. The second locomotive could transport cargo already weighing 1000 pounds (16.4 tons) at a speed of up to 16 km /h.

Cherepanov was denied a patent for a steam locomotive because it was “very smelly”

Unfortunately, unlike stationary steam engines, which were in demand by Russian industry at that time, the first Russian railway of the Cherepanovs was not given the attention it deserved. The now found drawings and documents characterizing the activities of the Cherepanovs indicate that they were true innovators and highly gifted masters of technology. They created not only the Nizhny Tagil railway and its rolling stock, but also designed many steam engines, metalworking machines, and built a steam turbine.

Russian electrical engineer, one of the inventors of the incandescent lamp.

As for the incandescent lamp, it does not have one single inventor. The history of the light bulb is a whole chain of discoveries made different people V different time. However, Lodygin's merits in the creation of incandescent lamps are especially great. Lodygin was the first to propose using tungsten filaments in lamps ( In modern light bulbs, the filaments are made of tungsten) and twist the filament in the shape of a spiral. Lodygin was also the first to pump air out of lamps, which increased their service life many times over. And yet, it was they who put forward the idea of ​​filling light bulbs with inert gas.

Lodygin is the creator of the autonomous diving suit project

In 1871, Lodygin created a project for an autonomous diving suit using a gas mixture consisting of oxygen and hydrogen. Oxygen was to be produced from water by electrolysis, and on October 19, 1909, he received a patent for an induction furnace.

Andrey Konstantinovich Nartov (1693—1756)

Inventor of the world's first screw-cutting lathe with a mechanized slide and a set of replaceable gears.

Nartov developed the design of the world's first screw-cutting lathe with a mechanized support and a set of replaceable gears (1738). Subsequently, this invention was forgotten and the screw-cutting lathe with a mechanical slide and a set of replaceable gears was reinvented around 1800 by Henry Model.

In 1754, A. Nartov was promoted to the rank of general, state councilor

While working in the Artillery Department, Nartov created new machines, original fuses, proposed new methods for casting guns and sealing shells in the gun channel, etc. He invented the original optical sight. The significance of Nartov’s inventions was so great that on May 2, 1746, a decree was issued to reward A.K. Nartov with five thousand rubles for artillery inventions. In addition, several villages in the Novgorod district were assigned to him.

Boris Lvovich Rosing (1869—1933)

Russian physicist, scientist, teacher, inventor of television, author of the first experiments on television, for which the Russian Technical Society awarded him gold medal and the K. G. Siemens Prize

He grew up lively and inquisitive, studied successfully, and was fond of literature and music. But his life turned out to be connected not with humanitarian areas of activity, but with the exact sciences. After graduating from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of St. Petersburg University, B. L. Rosing became interested in the idea of ​​transmitting images over a distance.

By 1912, B. L. Rosing developed all the basic elements of modern black and white television tubes. His work became known in many countries at that time, and his patent for the invention was recognized in Germany, Great Britain and the USA.

Russian inventor B. L. Rosing is the inventor of television

In 1931 he was arrested in the “Academics Case” for financial assistance counter-revolutionaries” (he lent money to a friend who was subsequently arrested) and was exiled to Kotlas for three years without the right to work. However, thanks to the intercession of the Soviet and foreign scientific community, in 1932 he was transferred to Arkhangelsk, where he entered the department of physics of the Arkhangelsk Forestry Engineering Institute. There he died on April 20, 1933 at the age of 63 from a cerebral hemorrhage. On November 15, 1957, B. L. Rosing was completely acquitted.

    What, exactly, should be considered an “invention”? Agree that this can be answered in different ways. Some will say that an invention is the putting forward of an idea itself, a statement of a principle. Others mean by invention the creation of a working model. The third is the introduction of this model into production. By placing different emphasis, you can see the history of any invention differently.
    And who is the author of the invention? For there is probably no such great inventor who would not have his predecessors, because, as we know, nothing is born out of nowhere.
    And where does “invention” end and what is called “improvement” begins? I will refer to the words of one of the most outstanding inventors late XIX and the beginning of the 20th century - Thomas Alva Edison.
    Edison admitted: “It is easy to make amazing discoveries, but the difficulty is to improve them so that they have practical value.” Anyone familiar with the history of technology will agree that this is exactly the case. And let no one be misled by stories about sudden insights, miraculous coincidences and amazing successes that allegedly happened to some great inventors. All this is nothing more than idle speculation. Yes, we know that Watt allegedly “invented” his steam engine while walking, after seeing, in his own words, “steam gushing out of a laundry window.” But we also know that he then spent more than ten years of daily hard work before he managed to establish serial production of these machines. Because the “principle of action” alone is not enough. And when it came to real steam, real metal and real machines, everything turned out to be not at all as simple as it might seem at first. We also know that Morse invented all the parts of his famous telegraph apparatus in just two weeks while sailing on a ship from Europe to America. But how many failures and disappointments awaited him in subsequent years, until he managed to translate his idea into a real scheme! And how much more effort and money he had to spend before he was able to prove that his telegraph apparatus was not a toy, but a necessary and useful thing. We know how amazingly lucky the inventor of the telephone, Bell, was when, due to a mistake by his assistant who was repairing the contact, he discovered a simple way to convert sound waves to electric, and vice versa. But let's not forget that this happened to no one else, namely Bell, after many years of work on the problem of telephone communication.
    There is only one conclusion: the inventor should rightfully be considered not the one who made “ amazing discovery”, but the one who gave it “practical value”. By saying that such and such an invention was made by this or that, we thereby transfer onto one person the achievements of his predecessors and contemporaries (and these latter, alas, we forget; fair or unfair is another question).
    Everyone has the names Galileo, Watt, Maudsley, Stephenson, Fulton, Morse, Marconi, Zworykin, Sikorsky, Brown or Korolev on their tongues. These people are rightfully considered the greatest inventors, although it is well known that spotting scopes were used before Galileo, that steam engines worked before Watt, that the caliper was used before Maudsley. It's no secret that steam locomotives (and very good ones) were built before Stephenson, and steamships before Fulton. We know that telegraphs functioned before Morse, that the principle of radio was already known before Marconi, that televisions were shown before Zworykin, helicopters flew before Sikorsky, and rockets took off before Brown and Korolev (and that their own rockets would never have launched without the efforts of subordinates named after powerful scientific teams). And yet it doesn't change anything. The enormous merit of these and many other “recognized great” inventors to humanity lies in the fact that, having taken on some (perhaps even someone else’s) undeveloped idea, they, through hard work, overcoming many difficulties, brought it to a state where its “practical value” became obvious to everyone. It is this act that we subsequently accept as an “invention” in the true sense of the word. As for the question of to what “degree of owl

At the same time, she repeated it crookedly, which is why she spent 8 years trying to get her network to work normally. An implementation error led to the data flow being blocked. The Americans were able to solve this problem only after using the already open information about the Mizin network and correcting the errors in accordance with Mizin’s work. Unfortunately, having received a more or less workable system, they immediately began to develop it, without implementing even half of the features of the Mizinsky network. The unfinished contraption became the de facto standard. Because of this, there are now a lot of problems with protocols, routing, etc.

Third wave immigrants and their children also contributed to the further development of the economy, science, and culture of the United States.
    So, already in the 70s of the XIX century. Russian electrical engineer Ladygin worked for Thomas A. Edison. In the 1880s he began his construction career overseas railway and the founder of the city of St. Petersburg in Florida, future businessman and California State Senator P.A. Dementyev (1850-1919).

And during the First World War, dozens of Russian engineers of various specialties, economists, etc. ended up in the United States as members and employees of the procurement missions of the Tsarist and Provisional governments, many of whom remained there permanently.
    Vladimir Karapetov Electrical engineer (187?-1948), born in St. Petersburg and graduated from the Institute of Railways there in 1897, became a university professor in the USA, a consultant to the Naval Academy, was awarded awards and medals from scientific societies, became an author many books in the field of electromechanics.

    But, perhaps, the most striking (at least due to its scale) example in this regard can be the list of names of Russian engineers, designers, test pilots, inventors and production organizers known to us who contributed to the development of the American aircraft industry. The “pioneers” among them, who came to the USA already in 1918, turned out to be I.I. Sikorsky (1889-1972), A.N. Seversky (Prokofiev-Seversky, 1894-1974) and G.A. Botezat (1882-1940). However, only after “helicopter pilot? 1” Sikorsky managed to put together the backbone of his future company, consisting of aircraft designers, engineers and test pilots - M.E. and S.E. Glukharev, B.V. Sergievsky (1888-1971), I.A. Sikorsky, V.R. Kaczynski (1891-1986), and also to collect the necessary financial resources with the help of S.
