Helicopter
 The inventor of the helicopter is Igor Sikorskyi, an aircraft designer from Kyiv
who emigrated to the USA. In 1931, he patented the design of a machine with
two propellers - horizontal on the roof and vertical on the tail. On May 13, 1940,
the designer took his car into free flight for the first time.
 For more than half a century, all US presidents have used the services of Sikorsky
helicopters.
Compact disc
 Few people know that the prototype of
the compact disc was invented in the
late 1960s by Vyacheslav Petrov, a
graduate student of the Kyiv Institute
of Cybernetics. Then the development
was scientific in nature and had
nothing to do with music
Bloodless blood analysis

 Kharkiv scientist Anatoly Malikhin

came up with a way to make a
blood test bloodless. He created a
device, five sensors of which are
attached to certain areas of the
human body, after which 131 health
indicators are displayed on the
computer screen. The device is
actively used by doctors in China,
Saudi Arabia, Germany, Egypt and
Mexico.
gas lamp

 The lamp based on the

combustion of kerosene was
created by Lviv pharmacists
Ignatius Lukasevich and Jan Zech
in 1853 in the "Under the Golden
Star" pharmacy. At the same time
as the lamp, a new method of
obtaining kerosene by distilling
and purifying oil was invented.
 ZIP Code

 In 1932, a unique letter marking

system was created in Kharkiv.
Initially, it used numbers from 1
to 10, and later the format
changed to number-letter-
number. With the beginning of
the Second World War, this
indexing system was abolished,
but later continued to be used in
many countries of the world.
Rocket
 Sergey Korolyov, a native of Zhytomyr, is a
designer of Soviet rocket and space technology
and the founder of cosmonautics. In 1931, he
and his colleague Friedrich Zander achieved the
creation of a public organization for the study of
jet propulsion, which later became a state
research and design laboratory for the
development of rocket aircraft. In 1957, Korolev
launched the first ever artificial Earth satellite
into Earth orbit.
 The first seagull submarine
 The deckless flat-bottomed boat of
the Zaporozhian Cossacks, the
seagull, was created in the 16th and
17th centuries. A reed belt was
attached to the outside of the sides,
which made it possible to lower the
boat under water and keep it afloat in
this condition. The seagull's speed
was approximately 15 km/h, which
allowed the Cossacks to escape from
the Turkish galleys without difficulty.
Environmentally clean fuel

 Volodymyr Melnikov, an engineer

from Slavutych, designed a machine
that turns wood waste into fuel
briquettes. The furnace under high
pressure heats the sawdust to 300
degrees, as a result of which vegetable
glue is formed. Next, the press works,
which compresses the mass with a
force of 200 tons per square
centimeter. The result is a fuel
briquette similar to anthracite.
The fastest car in the world

 The fastest Soviet car, the project of

which was developed in 1966 by
Volodymyr Nikitin from Kharkiv, was
equipped with a GTD-350 helicopter
gas turbine engine with a capacity of
400 horsepower. The estimated speed
of the car was 400 km/h, but it was
not reached due to the lack of a
suitable track. However, during the
run-in on the Chuguyiv highway,
Khadi-7, starting from a standstill,
was able to develop a speed of 320
km/h over a distance of 1 km.
X-ray
 Ukrainian Ivan Pulyuy, 14 years before the
German Wilhelm Röntgen, designed a tube
that later became the prototype of modern X-
ray machines.
 He analyzed the nature and mechanisms of
the emergence of rays much more deeply than
Röntgen, and also demonstrated their essence
with examples. It was Ivan Puluy who was the
first in the world to take an X-ray picture of a
human skeleton
 Electric tram

 In the early 1870s, Fyodor Pirotsky

from Poltava developed a technology
for transmitting electricity through an
iron wire. In 1880, Pirocki presented a
project for the use of electricity "for
the movement of railway trains with
current supply". A year later, the first
tram, produced by the Siemens
company according to the scheme of a
Ukrainian, went into Berlin.
