LODYGIN

1. The creation of the first incandescent lamp is closely connected with the name of the well-known Russian scientist and inventor, Alexan­der Lodygin.

2. Lodygin created the first incandescent lamp and laid the foundation for the production of the present-day incandescent lamps that are much more economical than the lamps with carbon electrodes. He was the first inventor to discover the advantages of the metal wire filaments in com­parison with other filaments.

3. Lodygin was born in Tambov Province in 1847. His parents gave him a military education an they wanted him to join the army. However military service did not interest him at all. So he resigned soon and de­voted all his time to the study of engineering and the solving of technical problems.

4. Young Lodygin started working out the design of a flying machine. His design was ready in 1870. At that time France was at war with Ger­many and the construction and testing of the flying machine had to be carried on there. But France was soon defeated and had no need for any flying machine. Thus, its construction was put off for an indefinite pe­riod of time and was never realized.

 

5. In 1872 Lodygin constructed a number of incandescent lamps. These first lamps consisted of a glass bulb with a carbon rod serving as a filament.

6. In 1873 he produced an improved lamp having two carbon elec­trodes instead of one and a longer life.

7. Lodygin's study of metal filaments having a high melting point is a work of world importance. It is he who introduced tungsten filaments in a vacuum.

8. Tungsten is still considered to be the very metal that should be used for filament production.

9. Lodygin died in 1923 at the age of 76.
