Tecnology of 1940's

By Beatle
  • orgon

    Wilhelm Reich's discovery of orgone began with his research of a physical bio-energy basis.This is the first device to accumulate orgone energy, A six-sided box constructed of alternating layers of organic materials and metallic materials.
  • Peter Goldmark

    Peter invented the first colored televison system. He invented in from the 1928 version. The black and white were more common.
  • Nuclear Reactor

    Today, Enrico Fermi’s nuclear reactor is in common use in nuclear power plants. Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard received U.S. patent #2,708,656 for the nuclear reactor.
    Leo discovered the first nucleaur recators
  • First computer controlled by software

    Konrad Zuse's z3 was the first computer with software. He was origanally a construction engineer. He also invented the first calculators.
  • Ballistic missile

    The first successful launch was on October 3, 1942 and began operation on September 6, 1944 against Paris, followed by an attack on London two days later. By the end of World War II, May 1945, over 3,000 had been launched.A total of 30 nations have deployed operational ballistic missiles.
  • Computer

    John atanasoff and Cliford Berry built the first computer at Iowa State Univeresity. The built it from 1939-1942 and finished it.The system included a binary system of arithmetic, parallel processing, regenerative memory, and a separation of memory and computing functions.
  • Engine

    A turboprop engine is a jet engine attached to a propellor. The turbine at the back is turned by the hot gases, and this turns a shaft that drives the propellor. Some small airliners and transport aircraft are powered by turboprops.
  • ABC computer

    The Atanasoff-Berry Computer represented several innovations in computing, including a binary system of arithmetic, parallel processing, regenerative memory, and a separation of memory and computing functions.
  • Colossus

    The Colossus computers were used to help decipher teleprinter messages.Colossus was designed by engineer Tommy Flowers with input from Sidney Broadhurst, William Chandler, Allen Coombs and Harry Fensom. The encrypted message was read at high speed from a paper tape.
  • ENIAC

    Twenty thousand vacuum tubes later the ENIAC computer is born and John Mauchly and John Presper Eckert are the proud parents.
    The ENIAC is important historically, because it laid the foundations for the modern electronic computing industry.More than any other machine, the ENIAC demonstrated that high-speed digital computing was possible using the then available vacuum tube technology.
  • Harvard Mark 1 Harvard

    The Mark series of computers began with the Mark 1 in 1944. Imagine a giant roomful of noisy, clicking metal parts. The 5- ton device contained almost 760,000 seperate.
  • Hypertext

    After Vannevar Bush first proposed the basics of hypertext in 1945. It laid the foundation for Tim Berners-Lee and others to invent the World Wide Web, HTML, HTTP and URLs in 1990.HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language, it is the authoring language used to create documents on the World Wide Web.
  • EDVAC

    Edvac is one of the first electronic computers that utilized the binary system. it was invented in 1945 but was first used in 1951. This is what really began the computer industry.
  • Manchester Baby computer

    a winner in a data-storage game emerged that would dominate the computer field. Sir Frederick Williams and tom Kilburn co-invented this. Scientists had conducted research on cathode-ray tubes serving at computer data storage since the early 1940s.
  • Microwave Oven

    The microwave oven was a by-product of another technology. it was during a radarrelated research project around 1946 by Dr. Percy Spencer. An engineer with the raytheon Corporation.
  • Eniac Computer

    With the advent of everyday use of elaborate calculations. Speed has become paramount to such a high degrees that there is no machines. The market today capable of satisfying the full demand of modern computational methods.
  • holograph

    A holograph is an image made by exposing film to the interference pattern created when two laser light sources shine on an object. Must people think of a holograph as a three-dimensional image of an object.
    "You can't predict the future but you can invent it" - Dennis Gabor
  • Fighter jets

    Two engineers, Frank Whittle in the United Kingdom and Hans von Ohain in Germany, developed the concept independently during the late 1930s. But they didnt get it going tell the 1940's. The engines in propeller-powered aircraft achieve their maximum efficiency at much lower altitudes.
  • Mobil phone

    This is when the first cellular phone was invented. A type of wireless phone was the most common use. This was invented because the phones in the cars increase traffic capacity.
  • Jukebox

    One of the early forerunners to the modern Jukebox as we know was the Nickel-in-the-Slot machine. It was an Edison Class M Electric Phonograph in an oak cabinet that was refitted with a coin mechanism patented by Glass and Arnold. In its first six months of service, the Nickel-in-the-Slot earned over $1000.
  • atomic bomb

    The atomic bomb was founded in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.Harold Urey and his colleagues at Columbia University created the bomb.The University of California in Berkeley implemented a process involving magnetic seperation of two isotopes.
