Under the heat of skin passions - the birth of light
To be a guide to the light is the purpose of the life of the skin person. This is the answer to the question that still torments many: "After all, if the stars are lit, then it means that somebody needs it?"
The world became brighter 140 years ago. It was decided to light the first electric lights on Odessa Street in St. Petersburg! And it became so! A radiant flash illuminated the darkness of the night forever. And the person, having benefited from the colossal saving of resources and time, saw that it was good!
An electric light bulb, the same one that we called Ilyich's light bulb, first flashed in 1873. It happened in the workshop of the Russian inventor Alexander Lodygin and had nothing to do with the leader of the proletariat. The light bulb came on, one might say, by accident - this invention was made in the course of work on the "electrolyte", a machine heavier than air and controlled by an electric motor …
FORWARD TO THE FUTURE!
What did the street lamplighter think as he passed Lodygin's workshop? Did he imagine that the oil lanterns would soon be extinguished forever, and his profession would go into oblivion?
It is impossible to get into the future without breaking free from the shackles of the past. This is the essence of the development of civilization.
Some fail to break the chains of their former lives, others cannot put them on. But there will always be someone who will build a bridge so that everyone, without exception, can get over from the old shores to unknown lands. A person with a developed skin vector - this is how the system-vector psychology of Yuri Burlan characterizes this hero.
To be a guide to the light is the purpose of the life of the skin person. This is the answer to the question that still torments many: "After all, if the stars are lit, then it means that somebody needs it?"
IN SEARCH OF IDEAS
Alexander Nikolaevich Lodygin (1847-1923), according to the precepts of his parents, became a military man. However, the purpose of his military career, he considered by no means campaigns, but the re-equipment of the army with the latest weapons.
Having retired at 23, Lodygin decided to implement a project unprecedented in the world practice of aeronautics - to create an "electric plane"! In it, he decided to use incandescent lamps, but this was a secondary task.
The ideas that the scientist hatched were akin to the fashionable fantasy of Jules Verne. With the only difference that the writer set the goal of capturing the reader into the world of dreams, and the inventor, on the contrary, set aside dreams and create a real object.
The thoughts that wandered in the scientist's head formed into harmonious frequencies, which, in turn, stimulated the birth of ideas. This is how the process of the sound vector can be described metaphorically. It is he who makes a person gush with a wide variety of ideas - from outlandish inventions to the search for the meaning of life. And the dermal vector restricts their flow and directs them in an inventive way.
THE SPARK WILL COME OUT A FLAME!
The idea of creating an aircraft at that time was already in the minds of scientists. After 6 years, Mozhaisky invented an airplane with a steam engine. But the dream of electric was too daring, even for him.
Be that as it may, but the French became interested in Lodygin's "electrolet". The inventor turned to them after not waiting for decisions from the Russian War Ministry. Alas, our archetypal leather officials were not far-sighted. Their plans included momentary benefits that did not involve investment.
France at that time was at war with Prussia, and therefore offered Lodygin 50 thousand francs for the implementation of the project. However, the fighting ended before the scientist began his experiments. France was defeated, Lodygin returned to Russia.
Having no money to continue his work, the scientist limited himself to improving one part of the electrolyte - an electric lamp. This is how a glass bulb with a carbon filament appeared. To prevent the thread from burning out, Lodygin guessed to pump air out of the flask.
Over time, the scientist replaced graphite with tungsten. Since then and until today, no one has come up with something more suitable than tungsten filaments in an incandescent light bulb. Even Edison, who is widely credited with primacy in the invention of the light bulb, used only charred bamboo fibers in his invention.
WHEN ACHIEVEMENTS BECOME VALUES
Foreseeing the worldwide interest in his invention, Lodygin patented an incandescent light bulb in 1874. And two years later, the first test took place - 8 real electric lamps lit up on Odessa Street in St. Petersburg!
Alas, this event was so extraordinary for that time that Lodygin's invention did not find practical application at first.
To be rejected is the first result of the implementation of any invention. Everything new acquires value not when it is ready to work for the good of society, but when society is ready to accept it.
They forgot about Lodygin. And five years later, in 1879, the American inventor Edison patented his lamp model. And although it was inferior in technical characteristics to the invention of Lodygin, Edison began to be considered the real inventor of the electric lamp. The dermal Western society was well aware of the benefits of this invention.
Attention is again riveted to Lodygin. But he is already abroad. The United States and France dreamed of getting a Russian scientist, and they succeeded. In Paris, he organized the production of incandescent lamps. In 1906, a plant for the electrochemical production of tungsten, chromium, and titanium began operating in the USA under his supervision.
It so happened that it was abroad that our Lodygin created new incandescent lamps, invented electric furnaces, electric cars, built factories and thought about the subway. He managed to clothe almost all his ideas in matter.
The talent given by nature and skillfully developed by man will always bear fruit. The inventor will not be stopped by time, as he is ahead of it. The ideas of a scientist cannot absorb space, because they are outside the material world.
THE INVENTOR - THE PROGRESS ENGINE
At the beginning of the 20th century, Russia entered an era of rapid economic development. Growth rates exceeded those of Europe and America! Skin achievements are finally in demand.
Wishing to involve his work for the benefit of the development of his homeland, Alexander Lodygin returns from abroad and starts work. He brings a whole series of new inventions! Now they are already in demand at home. The scientist is working on improving light bulbs, experimenting with alloys. He tries to extend the life of the lamps by using an inert gas.
In parallel with this, the inventor began a large-scale work on the electrification of the country! In 1914, the Department of Agriculture and Land Management sent a scientist to the Olonets and Nizhny Novgorod provinces to implement this project. So Lodygin began work on the greatest project, which received the name after the revolution - the GOELRO plan.
The events of World War I and the 1917 revolution curtailed plans for electrification. The evolutionary course of development took a different direction. Lodygin, following the new course, is again taken to the drawings of the electric plane. Alas, the project did not make an impression on the new government either. He remained in the aviation archives. Alexander Lodygin moved to the USA, where he died in 1923.
This is how the life of the great torch flared up and lit eternity. And one idea, promoted by skin innovation, pulled the whole world out of the darkness. Lodygin was not stopped by failures, he was ready to adapt to any changing conditions: a change in profession and place of residence. Lodygin's passion for his work did not leave until the last days of his life.
SKIN CODE OF HONOR
A person with developed properties of his vectors always works for society, the skinner strives to save resources, time and space for the benefit of universal development. For this, he invents, improves, implements … Thanks to his tireless energy, humanity is moving forward.
The skin mechanism of work functions without failures - this is the law of nature. Alexander Lodygin understood this and he wanted to tell the world about it. In 1908, at a meeting of the Society of Electrical Engineers in Moscow, the scientist made a report, where he raised the topic of technical education and the qualities of an engineer.
“The goal of engineering is benefit,” Lodygin convinced his colleagues. Here they are - the words of a real leatherman! Benefit and benefit are its marks of quality.
Lodygin's report became a kind of skin code of honor for the inventor. After experiencing injustice, betrayal, deception, the scientist raised the issue of engineering ethics! And this is in the prime of the century of profit! He stated that it is necessary to eliminate theft in the field of inventions, stop cynicism and take the path of healthy, not predatory competition. Intransigence to theft is a distinctive feature of a developed skin person.
“The ability to understand people and control them as well as to subjugate matter, the ability to direct human forces, as well as physical forces, are the essential qualities of an engineer of the future …” These words reflect the main features of the skin man - discipline and self-discipline. Only those who are disciplined and have tremendous willpower can discipline, be able to direct human resources in the right direction. The leather worker limits himself and demands it from others. The need for restriction, prohibition, control is the essence of the skin vector.
"Electric light should be the only artificial light used on the globe, both for its strength and evenness of light, and for its safety and low cost." The natural drive for economy is the strength that makes a person an engineer-inventor.
The inventor's activities are not aimed at obtaining momentary benefits, but for the benefit of future generations. Failures never stopped Lodygin. We know about 37 inventions of the scientist and … a colossal lack of money. His fantasy did not need money …
In 1906, Lodygin sold the patent for his lamp to General Electric. The scientist did this with one goal - to return home with the money received.
"A person considers himself happy if the objects he creates can improve the life of him and others" - this was the motto of Lodygin. This is what his followers still do.
ABOUT THE SPEED OF LIGHT
And what about our lamplighter? In fairness, we note that it was he, and not Lodygin's light bulb, who became the conductor of light in Russia. He was the first to tame the darkness of the night. This happened in 1706, when, by order of Peter I, oil lanterns were lit in St. Petersburg in honor of the victory over the Swedes. The northern capital became the first Russian city with street lighting.
The skin era dawned boldly and brightly. The oil lanterns were too dim to illuminate the path to the future. They were replaced by gas, with candles, alcohol, kerosene … And only then the electric light appeared.
Today, the Lodygin lamp still continues to illuminate our lives. However, it is already ready to resignedly give up its "warm" place to new inventions. Nowadays our everyday life is persistently "occupied" by energy-saving lamps. But they are not eternal either! On the horizon is the invasion of LEDs, whose lifespan will not be limited to one decade!
… This is how the skin man, once fascinated by the starry sky, decided to invent light, and today his followers come to all new technologies in this field. But whatever the light bulbs in our home, they all reflect the age-old romance that we inherited from our distant ancestors.
So it is necessary
so that every evening
over the rooftops
at least one star lit up ?!
