BRIGHT BEAM IN FRONT OF A LOCOMOTIVE
Abstract
Pavel Yablochkov owns one of the most memorable pages in the history of world and domestic electrophysics. In XIX century he became a holder of inventions and patents recognized by the entire civilized world of «Yablochkov candle» and ways to use the effect of «light fragmentation» in the multi-element electric alternating current circuits, etc. Thanks to him, «Russian light» provided a vibrant nightlife to major European cities, gave electric lighting to ships and trains, other public infrastructure facilities. And at the same time the author of the article highlights a dramatic fate of the scientist, early death, unfinished plans and projects.
