Let’s learn some interesting inventions of Germany in this new episode of “Inventions”. We have to refill our car engines with diesel, right? But who made these diesel engines? It was made by Rudolf Diesel in 1868. One day he got an idea of creating a high compression igniting engine for cars. After a lot of experimentations, he finally made a fuel-based engine. The outlook of the diesel engine might have changed and modified today but the basic characteristics and technological science date back to the 1896 model. Every science lab has an electron microscope. Microscopes magnify small particles and give us a wider view. In 1931, German physicist Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll created the first working electron microscope which is a super useful invention in the world of science. You might have seen your parents wearing a contact lens in their eyes. Do you know what are those for? Contact lens corrects the problem of focus in our eyes and provides us with good vision. In 1888, a German ophthalmologist Adolf Gaston Eugen Fick used a blown glass to create the lens that would protect the cornea, the transparent part of our eye. The tape recorder is a kind of mixed invention. Fritz Pfleumer in 1928 invented magnetic tape and following this invention, later tape recorder was created. The 1st tape recorder was demonstrated in 1935. An audio engineer, John Mulein created the tape recorder all by himself in his studio. We all know about MP3 right? The audio format is used to compress large audio files without losing their original quality. Mp3 stands for MPEG. Mp1 appeared in 1992 but had low bandwidth. Then with a lot of modifications, MP2 was made which was ideally played for DVDs. The came MP3 which turned out to be a major hit all across the globe.
