Rob bloody you guys denying others are smarter it's typical for small of tiny island 🏝️ england living from exploiting rest & piracies hehe nonsensical mustard no Hot dog food 😂
Shame that such a ignorant is representing British or is average IQ😮 13
I think one of most important woman here has been omitted, Maria Sklodowska-Currie - that is correct she was Polish and she marrid this French guy Currie. It is so strange that everyone ignores part of her surname and fact that she was Polish. Our Polish radioactive woman ;)
Besides Polish inventors there were also Polish discoverers. Marie Sklodowska - two Nobel prize winner; astronomer Copernicus - no comment, everyone should know him; the Enigma machine was cracked by Polish mathematicians, not British and not American; Przybylski star.
Enigma was also broken by polish mathematics not English.
The English like to steal other people's achievements
This is true.
Both polish and english made efforts, and one doesn't cancel the other. However it's true that polish mathematicians efforts and achivments are often forgotten. The museum dedicated to them is now opened In Poznań, and it's pretty cool, so maybe that will change.
Don't I understand english , or isn't the reaction title INVENTED , not broke ?
Ale to nie wynalazek.
Maria Skłodowska-Curie: Polon , Rad
It's a discovery not invention
@@ElektrykFlaaj ok. So read below what was discovered by Poles.
And it killed her!
@@hitime2405 Nope, she died because of her work with X-Ray machine during WW1.
She was not only super smart => did not poisoned herself with polon or rad... but she was not able to just stand and watch how French soldiers are fighting for freedom and she was unable to just stand and do nothing... so she made a mobile x-ray machine with mobile generator and mounted it on a truck and was driving it to field hospitals where she was doing thousands of x-rays to wounded soldiers and early x-ray machines were leaking x-rays like crazy so operator was getting huge amount of x-rays every time he/she was doing a x-ray photo. This technology at that time was in its infancy and she sacrificed her time, scientific carrier and in the end her health -> because there was no technicians trained in this technology to operated this prototype... and its nowdays officialy recognized that this is the real cause of her death and she is considered a French hero that died because of her service during WW1.
@@Bialy_1 Thank you for that, I read she was true to her land of birth and taught her children to speak Polish, a great woman!
Ludwik Hirszfeld, a Polish scientist who discovered and described the division of human blood into groups, which was very important for medicine, blood transfusions were easier and did not cause complications.
Also vitamines were discovered by Polish scientist.
First heart transplant was also done by a Polish doctor, I don't remember his name

The most important invention of Ignacy Łukasiewicz for the world was oil refining.
Shame that the most most people don't know that most people on this planet thing do Polish people are stupid.
Jan Zeh not Łukasiewicz.
Kolejna niesprawiedliwość historii.
@@Imadelko58 Zeh
Łukasiewicz was buiding first oil wells, rafineries and also creating inventions to use oil products, so i would say his most important invention was the whole "modern oil industry" as aparently he was happy to share his knowledge for free with others and Rockefeller was one of many people that got his know how from him.
@@Piter10000 Poprawiłem, dzięki!
As a Polish born person, I can only imagine how far Poland would have been by now with their innovations and technology, if the rest of the Europe would just leave us alone in peace so we can thrive and prosper and make life better for humanity to enjoy and flourish.

The Mine detector (Polish: wykrywacz min) was a metal detector for landmines developed during World War II. Initial work on the design had started in Poland but after the invasion of Poland by the Germans in 1939, and then the Fall of France in mid-1940, it was not until the winter of 1941-1942 that work was completed in UK by Polish lieutenant Józef Kosacki a professor, engineer and inventor
It was also so good that people needed decades to came up with something better, British army were using even in the early '90.
Ted Turner who created TV network CNN said " Polish joke" How Poles detecting land mines? .He just moved his leg like mine detector.Then someone told him that Pole discover mine detector.Turner make himself idiot.
Also WW2 peryskop odwracalny, Gundlach Rotary Periscope use in most of Allied tanks - Rudolf Gundlach, 1935.
Lieutenant Józef Kosacki continued the work of Captain Tadeusz Lisicki. Kosacki's co-worker was platoon sergeant Andrzej Garboś. Their device did not contain any innovative technical solutions, but the Poles succeeded for the first time in achieving what no one else in the world had managed to do: they built a simple, lightweight and robust mine detector, suitable for use by soldiers directly on the battlefield.
And now let us think of all those boys who returned from the war on their own two feet.
There was nothing about mine detector and Enigma because Brits have tried to still those great Polish inventions
The term 'vitamine' was introduced by polish biochemist Kazimierz Funk, after he first extracted vitamine B1.
*Polish
More important invention: Czochralski's discovery of silicon monocrystals without which there would be no transistor radios, personal computers and smartphones.
It is worth noting that Pleograph (or First Camera) was created by a Pole, Kazimierz Prószyński, exactly one year before the Lumieré Brothers, even Louis Lumieré said "Gentlemen, this man is first in cinematography, I am second". So Camera isn't French Invention but Polish
Czochralski method one of the most important inventions in history.
Indeed, it's surprising that it's not on the list. ;o
Karol Pollak ->full bridge diode rectification circuit he patented it in UK and Germany and one year after he patented it in Germany Leo Graetz made a publication about it -> that circuit is used to change AC to DC in so many electronic devices...
In 1896, Pollak invented the electrolytic capacitor...
It is basically treated as scientific discovery but was an invention as well "Nitrogen was first liquefied at the Jagiellonian University on 15 April 1883 by Polish physicists Zygmunt Wróblewski and Karol Olszewski."
Polish writer Stanisław Lem described in his books what we now call the Internet many years before it was invented
Oooooo, was there a particular story that was in?
True
@@nerysghemor5781 In Return form the stars he described e-books. It was written in 1959.
@@crank1985 Cool!!!
Rally? Internet for millitary purpose is quite Old.
Is also missing here Tadeusz Sendzimir (Sędzimir oryginaly speaking) who is the inventor of the steel galvanizing process which car industry in whole of the world using them to car body production . Greetings from northern Poland, close to the Baltic Sea.
4:30 More importantly, Ignacy Lukasiewicz invented the method of oil distillation and is the founder of the world's first oil mine! It opened in 1854 in Bóbrka (Southern-Eastern Poland) and is still in operation. Today, there is also a Museum of Petroleum Industry.
Lukasiewicz showed the Americans the entire technology, the whole process from extraction to distillation. When asked about patents and price, Lukasiewicz replied that he was doing it for the good and development of mankind and was against using this knowledge to pursue vested interests and amass great wealth. Unlike John Rockefeller, who used it all for his own ends.
The Polish were quiet achievers on a number of things. Some were good explorers and we Aussies owe one a big debt. Sir Pawel Strezelecki explored much of the Australian inland and the track in central Australia is named after him. He also explored the Snowy Mountains and left a permanent monument there by naming our highest mountain after his fellow great countryman Thaddeus Kosciuszko. Given the significnce to local indigenous people it will soon carry a dual naming "Kunama Namadgi"
Tadeusz Kościuszko 😉
... on the Mount Kosciuszko, there is also "the highest" joke about the hill by Strzelecki, cast into the bronze plague.
Strzelecki even has a subspecies of koala named for him. So, I guess he’s responsible for naming the highest and (maybe) the cutest things in Australia. (But the mountain pigmy possum might beg to differ.)
Fun fact - information leaflets that you can read when visiting Mount Kosciuszko in Australia are written by my aunt (aunt still lives in Australia) ;)
It's strzelecki*
His name comes from the action - shooting.
Can be translated: shooter.
I wonder who his ancestors were? Hunters or maybe archers? :-D.
The story of Lukasiewicz and kerosene is that the Rockefellers went to meet with him and he showed them how to crack oil. They asked what they owed him for the invention and he just said that as long as it’s used for the good of humanity, he doesn’t want any money. Interesting isn’t it?
So they own him money from 1914 ?
Bullshit, when Łukasiewicz got a job in a pharmacy where he made his discoveries in the USA, Samuel Kier was already selling kerosene.
@@konradadamczyk5755 interesting. What you’re saying is not align with truth or history for that matter.
@@jacekchmielewski6372 maybe just check the encyclopedia

Stefan Banach (30 March 1892 - 31 August 1945) was a Polish mathematician who is generally considered one of the 20th century's most important and influential mathematicians. He was the founder of modern functional analysis and an original member of the Lwów School of Mathematics. His major work was the 1932 book, Théorie des opérations linéaires (Theory of Linear Operations), the first monograph on the general theory of functional analysis.
Rudolf Stefan Jan Weigl (2 September 1883 - 11 August 1957) was a Polish biologist, physician and inventor, known for creating the first effective vaccine against epidemic typhus.
It was Warsaw-Lwów School of Mathematics. It was a school in the sense of a mathematical movement, not a separate university. Banach worked both in Warsaw and Lvov, just like Mazur and other Polish mathematicians who often met in cafés and wrote down their ideas on café napkins :) They used tsometimes the first Polish highway, Warsaw-Lviv, and a very comfortable private bus line launched on it
Tarski was another world famous matematician. On a personal note, my parents were invited to lunch with his son, probably in Itally, in the early 80-ties.
@@alh6255 Actually it's commonly known as the Polish School of Mathematics.
@@bartoszmilewski631 Tarski is most valued in the world as the creator of analytic philosophy (and an outstanding logician) - which then developed the most in the Anglo-Saxon world, and outside of it, the leading center is Poland (Warsaw)
@@rosomak8244 Yeah, I know.
Another invention that is Polish is Gundlach Periscope - it is rotationary pericope that is used on tanks to this day.
Ignacy Łukasiewicz, the guy behind the Kerosene Lamp, He is known for something more important, used to this day. He is the father of the oil industry. He created the first "Oil Mine" with a tower pump. Lamp was just his side project lol.
My personal fav is oil platfrom (Witold Zglenicki)
Also it's important to remind it's not Maria Curie (she demanded her polish name on noble diploma, she used both together, french and polish names)
As for Jozef Hofmann, his output includes 70 patents, including an electric clock, a water heater, spring bumpers, air springs (first used by the police in New York), an oil cooker, etc.
1889 A Russian engineer of Polish origin - Poland was on Russian occupation..) - Michał Doliwo-Dobrowolski, patents a three-phase motor with a cage rotor. There are very common engines now. Generally without him maybe we will not have 3-phaze electric energy.
Yeah, we need to also render Czochralski, who invented a math od of growing silicon monocrystals. You know, the things we cut into silicon wafers and make all our electronics out of?
This. This one, bravo. Czochralski is to this day the most quoted polish scientist ever. Without him computer revolution could happen much later. As a bonus I'd add Stanisław Ulam who took part in project Manhattan
Also worth mentioning is Stanislaw Ulam. The Ulam-Teller design he developed was crucial in creation of the first hydrogen bomb.
Remember that scene in Terminator 2, when Sara is talking about "effing men who only know how to create death and destruction"? That is about him and Teller :)
You don't need to attach the name of his administrative boss to his invention. Basically Teller contributed only the accounting for the coffee.
So many Polish people even do not know about that inventions made by poles. Thanks for this video.

@@Darwidx - Oczywiście , że tak . I nie wymyślili go Polacy , a dwóch rosyjskich uczonych w 2004 . Dostali za to Nobla 4 lata później . A dopiero kilka lat później polscy naukowcy w warszawskim instytucie opracowali metodę wytwarzania znacznie tańszego , czystszego grafenu i w większej formie niż amerykański . Później naukowcy z Łodzi rozwinęli tą metodę na wytwarzanie dużych arkuszy tej nano struktury .
Although Ciolkovsky was of Polish origin, he is considered a Russian scientist. However, if we are talking about rockets, I would recall Kazimierz Siemienowicz, who lived in the 17th century and was the author of the idea of multi-stage rockets. His book Artis Magnae Artilleriae pars prima (The Great Art of Artillery Part One), published in Amsterdam in 1650, was the primary artillery textbook in Europe for almost 200 years.
JERZY RUDLICKI - He developed a number of inventions and patents: barometric leaflet ejector, lighting flare ejector. He developed the bomb launcher concept developed by another pre-war Polish inventor, Władysław Świątecki. His modification of this design was used in the design of the ejector designed for high-altitude surface bombing, which was used in American B-17 Flying Fortress bombers. He participated in the development of the F-84 Thunderjet and F-84F Thunderstreak aircraft
Jerzy Rudlicki in the years (1928-1931) , worked on perfecting the plain's V-tail design which was patented in 1930 as (Polish Patent #15938) .
Used , among others, in plain F-117 Nighthawk , Cirrus Vision SF50 , Beechcraft Bonanza and some gliders and drones too.
Poland is underestimated. Everyone thinks that only Americans have inventors...
yes U.S have thay come from Poland
Poland had a big influence to bluray development
Influence? It was invented in Poland in a university but they sold the rights to it
@@KIVIDiana sorry mate, it's a bullshit. Polish had developed just an upgrade for existing technology and that's it.
@@k11zdr Oh? Guess my proffesor lied that his old proffessor from university was among the guys who worked on it then. And the whole process he described was pulled from his ass. The whole uproar when it was said that they would sell the tech must have been his imagination too. Good to know.

Witold Zglenicki - inventor of the Drilling Platform - 1896
Wacław Wolski - inventor of the hydraulic ram used to this day during oil drilling
And oil pumps often visible in the US are also an invention of the Polish inventor Ignacy Łukasiewicz. ;) Etc... ;)
I'm proud to be Polish
As a polish men with some knowledge I can only say - things mentioned in this video were just a small appetizer. You can search names like Jan Czochralski - "father of electronics", Rudolf Gundlach, Jacek Karpiński, Jan Łukasiewicz, Stefan Pieńkowski, Kazimierz Prószyński, Michał Doliwo-Dobrowolski, Mieczysław Grzegorz Bekker and many, many others.
There were a lot more polish inventions, which are very important. For example: blue laser which is used in Blu-Ray (Sylwester Porowski), welding (patented in 1882 by Stanisław Olszewski from Poland and Mikolaj Benardos from Russia), process of making graphene (Włodzimierz Strupiński), growing monocrystals used to make silicon wafers for semiconductors (Jan Czochralski), fluorescent lamp (Stefan Pieńkowski), hydrogen bomb (Stanisław Ulam), first steam car (Józef Bożek) and many, many more.
The legendary "Nagra" analogue tape recorder. - actually a whole family of such tape recorders. This device was designed and named by Stefan Kudelski. The very name "nagra" in Polish is a future tense verb, which means: "he/she/it will record".
Stefan Kudelski was born in Warsaw. After the outbreak of the Second World War, he and his parents left Poland, settled in Switzerland and Stefan studied there. This does not change the fact that he was Polish.
btw Poles in Switzerland: the Patek-Philippe watches, Patek was a Polish emmigrant
Check the 1st mine detector invented by Jozef Stanislaw Kosacki. Saved many lives...Kosacki donated it to the British army. He got a thanks letter from the King. There was many more Poles who contributed to the war effort on the British side and have been forgotten. Check Christine Granville, a Polish born, highly decorated SOE agent.
At a time when politicians make my country a circus on wheels, stories like this make me proud to be Polish
The biggest one, IMO: Marian Rejewski from Polish Cypher Bureau. A mathematician and cryptologist, who invented a cyclometer (permutation calculating device) and a (mechanical) cryptologic bomb (with Zygalski and Różycki) allowing do decipher Enigma messages. After sharing the invention and math behind it with Brits, Touring has made an electro-mechanical "bombE". But since "the history is written by the winners"...
Turing’s work was to develop a computer to deal with the volume of information that Britain could now receive because of the capture in May 1941 of an Enigma machine taken from the sinking U-boat, U-110, also the Enigma machine captured had the all important fourth cog and code books, only after that could Britain use Enigma , only then could we, unknowing to the Germans read everything that they were planning for the next four years and all thanks to the Royal Navy.

As a Pole, I could mention a few other inventions. One of the greatest Polish inventions was the development of an industrial technology for the production of crystals needed to produce blue lasers. Among other things, because we patented this technology perfectly Blu-ray never became a standard as popular as DVD and instead we switched to streaming technology. The Poles did not know how to use this technology themselves, they did not want to sell it, and it took a long time for technological concerns to create other technologies, which made Blu-ray expensive and not as popular as its predecessors. Great contribution to the development of humanity XD
Exactly the same situation is with graphene. We also developed the technology of cheap mass production, which we patented, which is why two decades have passed since its discovery and still graphene is not widely used despite being such a wonderful technology.
Gallium nitride production technology was more fortunate. We patented it too, but it has been released. That is why fast iPhone chargers are fast and small, among other things, although it is mainly used to build modern radars. Thanfuly we had a domestic industry that would utilize this invention.
From what I remember, Melexes were also a Polish invention, but also created outside of Poland.
The polio vaccine:
1/ Hilary Koprowski born in Warsaw in 1916: discovers that the host of poliomyelitis is the cotton rat and thus develops the first live polio vaccine in 1951: live, i.e. based on weakened rather than killed antigens.
2/ Albert Sabin, born in Bialystok in 1906: develops the first oral polio vaccine, which began to be used in 1961.
Both of them became US citizens after emigrating and worked there.
The Polish language is not difficult. It is as difficult as any Slavic language. The Polish language is difficult for people from the Western part of Europe. For me, English is definitely more difficult (I am from Poland). At least in polish, we write down words phonetically and you will correctly read every word even if you see the word for the first time. In English, it is almost impossible.
I'm useless at learning languages as it is. But I just can't roll my tongue for the polish language
True. I once met a Canadian (an English teacher) who said reading in Polish was easy (even if he didn't quite understand what he was reading). When I expressed my surprise, he said what you said, which is that in Polish you read exactly what is written. There is no such thing as "Pacific ocean" - 3 x "C" and 3 different pronunciations.

The Polish language is so easy. I was born in the U.S. and learned my Polish from my parents. Every time I did something wrong I got scolded in Polish. I speak Polish fluently.
But it was easy as you had your parents speaking it. As an english person, I dont have any real communication with Poles, other than the odd time in the polish shop.
@@RobReacts1 Polish language is really hard language. Even person who live in Poland for whole life have big problems with this language to say correct. For instance we have 2 words which sounds same
morze
and
może
first one is "sea" and second one is "can". In polish we have RZ and Ż which are same sound, but different grammar rules for them. Also we have U and Ó. There are many things which confuse. I have 33 years and still learning this language :D
@@RobReacts1 Well I'd tottally agree about that it's hard. In polis language there is gender for each stuff like fork is a man, but spoon a woman, cases (7 of them) and there are no translatable rules for them to english because these all questions telling about these rules don't even exist in english, also we have ortography which is pretty hard and pointless but for some reason we use it when we write in polish, we have (ch) and (h) the same letter but some words you write with that one, another with other one and many many others, I'm not even talking about the tongue breaking pronaunciation but the whole damn language is HARD
@@Malujmy It depends what language(s) you know. For example it's quite easy to learn Polish for a Czech.
A lot of people forget about the most important Polish invention. Invention is used to produce cpu and all modern electricity devices. Without this we wouldn't have a mobile phone etc. The Czochralski method, also Czochralski technique or Czochralski process, is a method of crystal growth used to obtain single crystals of semiconductors (e.g. silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide).
1:25 You wonder how often war contributes to inventions. In this case it was quite different.
The "Device for quickly establishing radiotelegraph or radiotelephony communication" was reported and patented in Poland by a Pole several years before the war. Henryk Manguski, born and educated in Poland, worked at the time in Poland in the "Państwowe Zakłady Tele i Radiotechniczne".
He left for the USA just before the war for additional training and had no way to return to destroyed by the war and later occupied by the Russians Poland.
Drzewiecki also invented the periscope.
I like your reaction and interest in Poland. Good flow, keep it up Rob!
Cheers Jakub! 😊
12:36 cotton swabs are great for cleaning electronics. You put them in Isopropyl alcohol, and then you can clean electronic (for example before soldering) or you can clean earpiece with them (same method).

A few more Poles should be mentioned:
1.
Jan Czochralski - invented monocrystals, thus is called the „father of eletronics”.
2.
Jacek Karpiński - invented the most advanced minicomputer K-202 in the 70’s.
Check his beautifully designed in Poland computer AKAT-1, gorgeous shapes.
3.
Steve Woźniak - the brain behind Apple Computers.
4.
Stanisław Ulam - invented a hydrogen bomb, about 1000 times more powerful than the atomic
5.
and a little fun thing - Wlodzimierz Strzyzewski invented Ringo, the game😊
I think Janina Adamczyk was the most prolific modern chemist-inventor. She was dubbed "Ludwik's mother" even though she was never mentioned in the patent documents for inventing this famous washing-up liquid, an eco-friendly product before it was considered important and fashionable to have them on offer. I know she also worked on emulsified liquid pastes, including shoe polish (Kiwi had to eventually buy the patent from Inco, Janina's employer) and cutting and polishing discs for grinders (your typical Bosh equipment).
Look at Marian Rejewski - ENIGMA.
Metal detector, used for finding the land mines was also Polish invention... Another one was 360° tank periscope.....was also Polish invention .... And even the lunar car was invented by Pole, in America....
I would say that more famous are: hussars :) ; Marie Curie Skłodowska received Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, along with her husband and Henri Becquerel, for their work on radioactivity. In 1911 she received a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, in recognition of her work in radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and with her later win, in Chemistry, she became the first person to claim Nobel honors twice; Henryk Sienkiewicz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1905 for his outstanding literary achievemen, for example for "Quo Vadis" or "With Fire and Sword" (18 Poles won Nobel Prizes); Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was born in Gdańsk - he is best known for inventing the mercury thermometer (1714) and developing the Fahrenheit temperature scale (1724). Recent history: A Polish team’s rover proved to be the best in the competition in India at completing advanced tasks on a simulated Mars terrain. The competition was the world’s largest Mars rover competition. :)
Stanislaw Janicki (1836 - 1888), a Polish hydrologist, designed and built the world's first floating dock for ship repair in 1871.
Jan Mikulicz-Radecki (1850 - 1905), a Polish-German surgeon, invented an endoscope. JMR was born in Chernivtsi, Romania, his father was Polish and his mother was German.

Generaly speaking it was the way to scan a text or drawing and let it be printed dot by dot, line by line on the paper. You could have information about three basic colors to print, but it depended of how many colors your "electro"typing machine had. and yes. It was mechanical typing machine.
Bulletproof vest an invention so nice Poles invented it twice.
I will bet with you that given enough time and money some Pole will create a next level vest, maybe an energetic shield or a scifi armor.
Well maybe some day, few years back there was a guy, can't recall his name, who created hand gun ammunition that can knock person down and be safely used on an airplane. It's way better than rubber bullets and a lot safer.
Actually it was invented at least three times. Similar vests were in use since late XVI, early XVII century by polish nobles and army to stop flintlock guns. Different material but usefull for weaker bullets at the time. Szczepanik used this to reinvent the bulletproof vest.
Interesting fact: Mark Twain wrote as many as two novellas about Jan Szczepanik.
I'm shocked this isn't mentioned in the video, but a Polish chemist named Jan Czochlarski invented the method for getting silicium boules used for making computer processors.
Last but not least.
I do not remember name of the guy, he was polish and invented process of "monocristal growing" .... or something like that, I'm not good in chemistry.
All I reapeat ALL of the computer processors are made presently due to this invention.
sometimes we are clever.
Greetings from Poland
Czochralski and Czochralski method:)

tks 😁
Karol Pollack invented full bridge rectifier and electrolytic capacitor->in electronics both are super important...
The assassination of Ferdinand is sometimes called "the shot that was heard around the world" due to it leading to World War 1
But we did get a great band from it 😂
Any advertising is good advertising.
Ignacy Mościcki created method to capture nitrogen from air using electricity, many types of circuit breakers and high voltage capacitors
Szczepanik (TV inventor) invented a perforated card that controlled the weaving machine that weaved a material known today as jacquard, he made this invention with Mr. Jacquard.
How about something more recent? Blue laser was a Polish invention. And most recently one young Polish woman using a German scientific grant invented new type of battery for example. Polish people often are inventors but such who are forced to sell their invention due to lack of funds for developing the commerical mass-produced version of their invention. But Polish inventosna re numerous. As for old yet significant, it was a pair of Polish experts that allowed us to make gases liquid in low temperatures so that humanity could get to know the chemical composition of air. Their lab is still shown to the public in one of the museum of Kraków. One of them later on died tragically due to heavy burns that he had suffered in the aftermath of yet another chemical experiment he was carrying out at local university lab. But his partner continued to pursue his passion in experiements but in the field of physics of gases. So if we can have nowadays so vital liquid gas as a gas form, yes, this is also due to Polish contribution to global scientific development. Polish people were the first ever to make any gas known to humans liquid.
In 1992 Japanese inventor Shuji Nakamura invented the first efficient blue LED, and four years later, the first blue laser. Nakamura used the material deposited on the sapphire substrate, although the number of defects remained too high (106-1010/cm2) to easily build a high-power laser.
In the early 1990s the Institute of High Pressure Physics at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (Poland), under the leadership of Dr. Sylwester Porowski developed technology to create gallium nitride crystals with high structural quality and fewer than 100 defects per square centimeter - at least 10,000 times better than the best sapphire-supported crystal.[1]
Zawsze mnie zastanawia skąd się wziął ten ciągle powtarzany mit o polskich wynalazcach, którzy są zmuszeni sprzedawać swoje wynalazki (myślę, że chodziło Ci o patenty). Po to przecież wynalazca zgłasza patent do urzędu, żeby móc go sprzedać jak się trafi chętny co by chciał produkować.
I'm so mad about it but no one is ever speaking about a pole - Jacek Karpiński, who first invented a personal computer, the most advanced computer of that time. DECADES before microsoft and apple. It was never developed because polish government at that time was communist and they had more interest in agriculture so they did not give Karpiński funding (in communist countries only government decides, there are no private companies and private money). It is an outrageous story, read about it.
Czochralski invented silicium single crystal forming method from melted silicium by extraction.
I took Esperanto back in the 60 in Europe,but it never took of,sound a lot like Italian,and very easy to read
Esperanto is acualy used for its purpose - there is handfull of places where peoples use espeoranto as common lanuage
Cotton buds are ideal for cleaning computer keyboards.
Just stick it in the dishwasher :D
Not only for keyboards. Q-tips for ears should only be used to clean the earlobes but in other areas they are perfect for cleaning rust/grime from PCBs, cleaning nooks and crannies in cars, devices, manicure, hair dyeing, make-up and a lot more.
Jan Czochralski - grand grand father of electronics, father sedlak - japan uses his work a lot in modern bio-chips, he’s a catholic priest who considered human cell as an electronic transmitter-emitter device, father of bioelectronics… he believed in quantum origin of life, he wrote a polish scientific book/publication “In the beginning there’s light”… there is so many polish inventors that it is really mind-blowing!
A lot of things are invented by several people at the same time independent of each other (such as radio and television), it's a phenomenon known as "adjacent possible". Basically it means that once somebody invents something, it opens the door for others to see the possibility of taking that technology or idea one step further. That's also why there is often argument over who actually invented certain things. Often the person who was better at self-promotion ends up being the one recognized in history. Also, as you said about the train signal - often there are things that are crying out to be invented and it's only a matter of time before somebody will do it.
Exactly! And quite often a patent, or final commercially viable prorotype was born of many prior prototypes and inventions
@@joannab7403 Spot-on. Aside from term adjacent possible it's also known as "directional development". Exactly as you described.
Liquifying of gases as oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen was carried out by Olszewski and Wroblewski in Krakow in 1883
I work for the UK government agency. And we FIGHT for paperclips daily. They are not cheap and they are in high demand.
My favourite NOT invention but an upgrade made by polish guy was... Minicomputer. Shrinking the room sized computer into a desktop box... By Jacek Karpiński. This is tragic story due to how communist party treaded this guy and his invention.
Three-phase current. Generator, motor, line, transformator of 3 P were invented by Michał Doliwo-Dobrowolski.
Now I'm proud like a peacock, as we say in Poland 😁.
Literally noone says anything like that in Poland
Wojtusiu, skąd się urwałeś?
Dumny jak paw.
Jedne z najgłośniejszych odkryć ostatnich lat, to zapewne ogniwa perowskitowe. W prawdzie są ciągle w fazie badań, ale produkcja komercyjna też już ruszyła :)
Jan Szczepanik (the TV guy) is a pretty tragic example of an inventor. He created tons of stuff, often earlier or around the same time as people elsewhere but those other people (like Lumiere brothers) had better marketing skills, so his inventions weren't used broadly. Basically what happened was that we could have films in colour much earlier if Lumiere's brothers kinetoscop (?) wasn't so ferociously advertised, pushing Szczepanik's invention into obscurity. We eventually got to the colourful films but by a much longer and more convoluted way
BY FAR the most important invention these days is the "Czochralski method" of producing single crystal semiconductuctors. This method is used in EVERY electronic device that use semiconductors.
Another one would be oil refining process.
We use cotton swabs when fixing electronics all the time ;), but, people from behind a big water call them Q-tips ;). I'm Polish and I know it, though you should as well ;). Thank you for this video by the way :).
Witold Zglenicki - a very important person in the oil industry. It was he who created the first platform for extracting oil from the bottom of the Caspian Sea, and the creator of the Polish Nobel Prize with the foundation's capital of over 2 million dollars. More in English Wikipedia.
This is how a Pole stopped the sun and moved the earth... And he did it because Poles invented tolerance with religion... So in Poland in one city there were Catholic Churches next to Orthodox Churches that were opposite mosques standing next to synagogues..... And therefore I'm proud to be Polish....
Lutheran churches.
first exoplanet ever - Mr.Wolszczan, no Nobel prise, gravitional waves - Mr.Trautman- no Nobel prise.
The bullet proof vest i thought that Ned Kelly did it first! i guess i was wrong until now.. Ned kelly was an Australian bushranger
That's a nice way to call someone who was a thief 😂
The video is talking about first comercialy produced... btw. Polish husar armor was not as heavy as Ned Kelly armor and was protecting husars from bullets long before Ned was born and it was very effective in this job...
You omitted the most important one ... Kopernik ... Copernicus ... invented Solar System and wrapped Earth on a sphere.
Well I didn't omit it... 😂
This is called a discovery, not an invention. Not to take away anything from Copernicus, but this is on a completly different field.
@@niktniewiem4785 życzę wyższego stężenia poczucia humoru.
You cannot invent the solar system - Copernicus was the first in Europe to formulate the heliocentric theory but ss we know Arabs beat him to it by centuries..
@@joannab7403 ... it was a smirking joke ...
... and by the way ... how can one discover the solar system ... while it is in the full sight ... all day long?
All puzzles and riddles seem to be easy.... after learning the answer. Invention of using electric motor in subs was huge because such engines do not need oxygen to work.
BTW; "4 knots per hour" would be a measure of acceleration but not speed. Because "knot" is already an unit of speed; namely; a nautical mile per hour.
I know one person who can speak Esperanto, and he said that knowing it helps to learn other languages faster, he said that it is brilliant how it connects so many languages. And he indeed seems to be very talented linguistically, he learns fast and can easily differentiate many languages from each other, even the very similar ones.
One of my favorite accidental inventions is the LED. A German radio engineer discovered it building a radio and found when he first put power through the diode, it shone very bright, now it is used in almost every light fixture worldwide, torches, car headlights etc, don't get near as hot as a conventional bulb and uses bugger all power and last for a bloody long time. Don't need the use of vacuum, inert gases or cooling fans, the downside is they use mostly plastic instead of glass, ceramic and metal in the construction.
Leo Graetz did not find by accident Karol Pollak full bridge diode rectification circuit patent and published an article about it under his name?
Also in 1896, Pollak invented the electrolytic capacitor->preaty sure that your LEDs using both of this invetnions.
We invanted, the periscope on submarines, mine detectors, bulletproof vests, the Lunar vehicle, a international language Esperanto and many more
Niech żyje Polska!
As a Polish woman I really didn't know about this. Very interesting!
Same on you Poliszko
Do you know that if it were not for a certain invention by Jan Czochralski, the Silicon Valley would not have been created? Czochralski's invention was not a thing but a method, namely the method of obtaining silicon monocrystals. When the first transistor was manufactured in 1954 at Texas Instruments, the Czochralski method was used.
If you can pronounce "Chock" you can also pronounce "Czochralski", since phonetically "Czo"="Cho"
4:25 Australian would be a World language. Slow and easy in the North and we do do hand signals. ;)
Not exactly an invention, but rather deconstruction of one was breaking the Enigma code in 1930s. German improvements kept machine upgraded thru the war , keeping allied cryptographers busy, but Poles started the work and laid the basis for achievments of Turing and others...
1. Czochralski process, is a method of crystal growth used to obtain single crystals of semiconductors - very, very important
Transistor by Juliusz Edgar Lilienfeld.
One among many others.
Look at Stanislaw Ulam.
omg. I never got idea the vote counting machine or bulletproof vest have Polish origin. hilarious 😀
The windshield wiper was actually invented in Alabama, which I know this because I am a Polish Alabamian, left Poland at age 8
