 Introduction

The present work is carried out with the aim of giving you a greater understanding and

further deepening the knowledge you have to each of your readers. The main topic that will be

covered is to know the projects in science, technology, and innovation of the country of

Ukraine. The fundamental thing of the research is to know where the resources, interest, time

and its main collaborators are generated in each one. Which will allow me as a student to

integrate and develop my knowledge, doing it based on research found on the internet.
 High-capacity hard drives

Donor:

Lubomyr Romankiw grew up in Zhovkva, a city in western Ukraine north of Lviv. He fled

to Canada at the beginning of the Soviet regime and graduated from Alberta, then did a

master's degree and a doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Project objective:

This technology exponentially improved both space capacity and read and write speed

compared to the rudimentary magnetic storage devices of the time. Eventually, IBM sold hard

drives built with Romankiw's development to Steve Wozniak, paving the way for Apple to create

its first personal computer.

Project Time:

1979, Among them, the patent of the magnetic head.

Main collaborators:

Romankiw co-authored with David Thompson in 1979, and the International Business

Machines Corporation (IBM) (NYSE: IBM) is an American multinational technology company

headquartered in Armonk, New York, which issued 65 patents.

 Transistors

Donor:

A trio of American engineers often take credit for inventing the modern field-effect

transistor, but it was actually Lviv-born Julius Lilienfeld who filed the first patent.

Project objective:

Transistors are an essential element of modern computing. Manufacturers have been

able to miniaturize them more and more to introduce increasing processing power into our cell

phones, computers and everyday devices.

Project Time:

1947.

Main collaborators:

Lilienfeld studied under the revered physicist Max Planck, but kept a relatively low

profile throughout his career. In fact, there is little evidence that he intended to physically

create the transistor he had designed on paper, leaving it to future innovators to apply and

improve.
 Piezoelectric motors

Donor:

Vyacheslav Lavrinenko of the Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute in Kiev developed the

first practical piezoelectric motor

Project objective:

These motors were capable of translating electric current into mechanical energy with

an efficiency greater than 90 percent.

This fundamental technology has had a wide application, from camera focusing systems

to mobile prosthetics, through particle accelerators or computer disk drives. Anywhere fine,

rotating mechanical action is required, a piezoelectric motor will most likely be found.

Project Time:

First practical piezoelectric motor in 1964

Main collaborators:

Vyacheslav Lavrinenko, Igor Sikorsky Polytechnic Institute in Kiev

 Arc welding

Donor:

Vasily Petrov, from Kharkiv, Ukraine, discovered the possibility of using electric arcs to

illuminate and weld materials.

Project objective:

Other Ukrainians subsequently advanced in this field, such as Boris Paton's development

of using electric welding for soft organic tissues. Cosmonauts Valeri Kubasov and Georgi Shonin

would later take arc welding into space and try various techniques.

Project Time:

In 1803, almost a hundred years later, Nikolai Benardos, from Mostove (Ukraine), put

this theory into practice and patented what is now a vital necessity for working with steel.

Main collaborators:

Vasily Petrov, from Kharkiv (Ukraine), Nikolai Benardos, from Mostove (Ukraine),

Cosmonauts Valeri Kubasov and Georgi Shonin

 Helicopters

Donor:

The Sikorsky R-4, designed by Kiev-born aviation pioneer Igor Sikorsky, was the world's

first production helicopter.

Project objective:

It was the first helicopter used by the United States Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard, as

well as the United Kingdom Air Force and Navy.

Helicopter concepts had been circling since the days of da Vinci, and resulted in several

limited test flights. The technology evolved into gyroplanes, which were research prototypes of

what would become the modern helicopter.

Project Time:

1909 created the first helicopter

Main collaborators:

Sikorsky's VS-300 that patents developed at that time became an operational aircraft.

The VS-300 would eventually give rise to the mass-produced R-4. Prior to the R-4, Sikorski had

already developed the world's first passenger aircraft, the Ilya Muromets.
