Russian Inventions

World Trivia
About

In this episode of Inventions Around the World, we will talk about some amazing Russian inventions. So let’s get started.

We all must have heard about the radio. Radio is a device for wireless communication. This concept was first introduced by Alexander Popov, as a Russian Physicist in 1885. He was the first man to make the radio set but unfortunately, he could not publish his work. After two years, an Italian man Guglielmo Marconi worked on the same idea and successfully demonstrated the first radio, and a lot of people gave him the credit for its invention. But even today, after so many years, the debate on the real inventor of the radio is still on. Who do you think should get its credit?

Moving to the next invention, let’s talk about Television which was invented by Vladimir Zworykin, a Russian engineer in 1923. He applied for his patent in the United States and he did not just stop just at that. After years he also invented Kinescope, a type of film recorder, and then went on to invent Iconoscope.

The next invention we are going to talk about is the Videotape recorder. It was invented by Alexander Poniatoff in the 1950s under his own company named Ampex. Even other companies had to use the patent of Poniatoff to develop their version of videotape recorders.

Let's shift to something completely different to the food segment now. So the next invention we will talk about is Yogurt. 1910 a Russian scientist proved that fermented milk is very useful for our body and its metabolism. It was first made in Bulgaria and today it is found in abundance all over the world.

Similarly, another unique invention from Russia is Synthetic Rubber, which was invented by Sergei Lebedev in the year 1910. The man-made version of rubbers are used in making tires for cars, cycles, and aircraft but synthetic rubbers have a specific use in producing rocket propellants.

So hope you enjoy this podcast. We will bring the inventions from another country in our next episode.
