Field Applied Science Rayon Georges Audemars
Rayon affects my life I'll be able to learn how to sew appealing dresses without ruining a very expensive fabric. Rayon was created to mimic silk rayon is classified as regenerated cellulose with its first patent name being artificial silk. It was invented by Georges Audemars in 1855 he used liquid mulberry bark pulp and gummy rubber that he then formed threads with. Rayon is still used today but is made through different process it is used in tire-cords, gowns, and other clothing. -
Field Applied Science Arc Welder Nikolai Benardos and Stanislav
This relates to my life my family's business would not exist if it weren't for arc welding it is used in pipes to the equipment and trucks that transport materials. The arc welder was created by Nikolai Benardos and Stanislav Olszewski in 1885. An arc welder works through an electric current which is what produces the arc. This electric arc is very hot, hot enough to melt the metal together fusing them. The arc welder is still in use today heavy equipment, mining, and most infrastructure. -
Field Applied Science Gasoline Automobile patent Karl Freidrich Benz
This has one of the greatest effects on my life because of gasoline cars I'm able to see the world and participate in many activities that I enjoy. This was invented by Karl Freidrich Benz, it was his wife who made him successful she sucessfuly took the car on a trip of 100 km. This rocketed their publicity, and was what made the car such a success. The car itself is not used today but components of the patent are. For eg the internal combustion motor of most cars. -
Field Applied Science AC motor patent Nikola Tesla
This relates to my life in many ways from running the fan in my computer to elevators. It was invented by Nikkola Tesla, an AC motor is an alternating current generator which is more efficient than a DC. Tesla joined with Westinghouse and they helped electricity become widely available. The AC motor is used today there are subgroups, three phase and single phase. Single phase is the one that's most widely used in small appliances, and three phases is used in factory settings. -
Field Applied Science Kodak Camera patented by George Eastman
This relates to my life because it was the first camera that simplified photography making it available to the average person. Without it is possible that I would not be able to easily capture what I see. All the person had to do was push a button and their picture was taken then when all of the shots were taken they would be sent into the company where the film was printed and replaced then sent back to the customer. This is not really used today it is more of an historical oddity. -
Field Applied Science first electric sewing machine Singer Sewing Company
This affects my life in many ways starting with the most obvious I'm able to make my own clothes, but because of the sewing machine I also have access to wide range of clothing that create jobs, and they create very useful things like parachutes. Though the sewing machine is much older the first electric sewing machine was created by Singer in 1889 this was used in homes. This invention is still very much in use today in nearly every household and is used for many industrial applications. -
Field Applied Science Diesel engine Rudolf Diesel first working diesel engine
The diesel engine is the main reason why my family is able to make a living they are standard in most heavy equipment this is what is mainly used in field of work. It was invented by Rudolf diesel it works without the use of a spark plug instead it uses high temperature created by pressure when the petrol is injected it ignites. This is still widely used today in heavy equipment, freightliners, and some vehicles. -
Field Medicine First clinical trials Dr. Fredrick Banting, Professor J. J. R. Macleod, Charles Best, and Dr. James Collip
This relates to my life without insulin it my family would not be nearly as healthy as they are diabetics and diabetes runs in my family. Insulin first clinical testing was January 11, 1922 on a 14 year old boy the tests were. Insulin was discovered by Dr. Fredrick Banting, Professor J. J. R. Macleod, Charles Best, and Dr. James Collip. Insulin regulates blood sugar. Insulin is still used today in diabetic patients there are both natural animal insulin and synthetic versions of insulin. -
Field Applied Science Snowmobile patented 1927 Carl J. Eliason
This relates to my life that if you get injured skiing instead of having a being gathered up at the bottom of the hill by the ski patrol the snowmobiles can reach the injured more quickly and easily so they can receive the care they need immediately. It was first patented by Carl J. Eliason who built the snowmobile using skis, bicycle parts, and some parts from and old model T. The snowmobile is still widely used today as a recreational sport and helping with search and rescue. -
Field Applied Science Electron Microscope Ernst Ruska
This affects my life because it helps us understand the human cell which in turn helps us improve our overall health. The first electron microscope was invented by Ernst Ruska in 1933. An electron microscope works by focusing beams of electrons and bouncing them off of the object. This is traces the object that is being examined onto film. Since this process is very exact a high resolution nearly 3D image is produced. This is still in use today for virus/bacteria research to solving murders. -
Field Medicine Cortisone 1936 Edward C. Kendall
Cortisone may not have directly affected my life however after watching the relief that it gave to friends of mine who had been injured, I definitely believe that it helps in today's world. It was discovered by Calvin Kendall in 1936 when he was studying the physiological affect adrenal extract in the human body. It is still used today to help with rheumatoid arthritis, certain cancers, allergic reactions, and injuries. -
Field Applied Science Nylon patent granted to Dr. Carothers via DuPont, Inc
This relates to my life with it I'm able to have waterproof clothing which improves my skiing experience. Nylon was first invented 1935 at DuPont Inc by a Dr.Carothers. DuPont was a research facility that opened for the creation of artificial materials. Dr. Carothers started in polymers then began working on creating an artificial silk; his work on attempting to create artificial silk resulted in the invention of nylon. Nylon is very much still in use today everything from textiles to parachutes
