Os Brazilians have been responsible, over the years, for start many endeavors. be in Technological area, but also in several other sectors, we have many productions created on our soil or abroad by people who carry in their certificates the origin of birth (or place of birth) in Brazil. With that in mind, we present a list containing 12 technologies invented by Brazilians. Watch and discover many curiosities! 134dj
Abbreviation 155a2y
Inventor: Manoel Dias de Abreu (1891-1962)
Year of creation: 1935
Tuberculosis was a disease that seriously affected many people at the beginning of the XNUMXth century, causing epidemics in large cities, such as Rio de Janeiro, for example, in the 1920s. Aiming to obtain new answers and, later, in an attempt to control this situation, the doctor born in São Paulo, Manuel Dias de Abreu, after studying in Europe, developed a new method of carrying out lung x-rays that would revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis.
A Abbreviation — a word composed in honor of Abreu's surname, but also known as Roentgenfluorography (), Photoradioscopy (Spain), Radiophotography (), Photofluorography ( and Sweden), Schermography (Italy) and Microradiography (Portugal) — helped to identify the diagnosis of tuberculosis at an early stage. It is brazilian technology, developed in 1935, was a sophistication of photographic methods, whose result is obtained using a portable camera with a common film.
Thus, the method became cheaper and faster, in addition to being designed for large-scale use. Because of this invention, Abreu was indicated to Nobel Prize several times, although he never won.
Avia 49723y
Inventor: Alberto Santos Dumont (1873-1932)
Year of creation: 1906
There is a dispute about who actually invented the plane, with many giving the post to brothers Orville e Willbur Wright, who made, in 1903, the apparatus flyer I take flight. However, the brothers' experiment needed an external means to get it off the ground; more specifically a type of catapult that shot the vehicle through rails.
In 1906, making a revolution in the field of aviation, Alberto Santos-Dumont made it take off, using a combustion engine and without the help of propellants, its famous 14-bis — also called oiseau de proie (Bird of Prey, translated from French) —, which, with its approximate 260 kg, traveled a flight of about 220 meters in a public exhibition at the bagatelle field, central region of Paris, .
His pioneering spirit made him known throughout Europe as the inventor of the airplane, earning him the Archdeacon Prize and Air Club of Award, in addition to having contributed to the development of airships. By considering the invention a world good, Dumont never patented it.
Hot air balloon (Aerostat) 2j5f3b
Inventor: Foot. Bartolomeu de Gusmao (1685-1724)
Year of creation: 1709
Considered the first invention made by a Brazilian, the hot air balloon was created by Brazilian priest Bartolomeu de Gusmão. Born in Santos at the time of Colonial Brazil, he was also one of the drivers of air transport. After observing the principle that the hot air inside an object is lighter than the one outside, he came up with the idea of trying to levitate a vehicle. Many attempts were made until the priest was able to present the idea, in August 1709, to the Court of King Dom João V of Portugal.
Five experiments involving balloons of varying sizes and a fire flame lit underneath were demonstrated on this occasion, levitating them up to four meters high and noted by great personalities of the time, with the Rei and the future Pope Innocent XIII. However, immediately brazilian technology, call of "catwalk”, was not carried forward, both due to the questioning of its usefulness and the impossibility of controlling it. Over the years, the original idea was reformulated and became what we know today.
Automatic transmission by hydraulic fluid 58563n
Inventor: José Braz Araripe (1899-1972) and Fernando Lehly Lemos (?)
Year of creation: 1932
Another brazilian invention is that of automatic gearboxAlso known as automatic transmission, responsible for changing the gear of a car without the need to use the clutch pedal, according to the speed and slope of the road.
The engineers José Braz Araripe (uncle of Paulo Coelho) to Fernando Lehly Lemos created the prototype and design of the hydraulic fluid shifting system in 1932. Soon after, they sold it for $10 to General Motors (GM), which, finally, launched the first hydraulic car (Hydra-matic drive), the Oldsmobile, years later in the United States.
inductive calling card 4s496n
Inventor: Nelson Guilherme Bardini (1935)
Year of creation: 1978
O phone card, known by the elderly in times of pay phones and collect calls, was very useful for make it simpler making phone calls outside the home through the use of a card. It would come to replace the old coins and electronic tokens that were used for the same purpose.
The invention of Inductive type phone card it is a result of brazilian Nelson Guilherme Bardini, which was ed financially by Dalson Artacho to make it possible. Made of PVC and containing an electrical circuit connected to metallic surfaces, the Inductive Phone Card it stores the credits so that they can be used in telephone calls made at public pay phones.
Despite having spread around the world shortly after its creation, in 1978, the Inductive Phone Card just gone implemented in Brazil in 1992 (two decades after the launch of the first payphones in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, in early 1972). This fact was due to the echo-92 (United Nations Conference on Environment and Development), an event that discussed sustainable growth, ecological balance and a less consumerist model of economic development.
Cinema 3D 497f
Inventor: Comparative Sebastian (?)
Year of creation: 1934
The Italian-Brazilian Sebastian Comparato was responsible for creating what would be the basis to boost the development of the 3D cinema. His project consisted of equipment that could be adapted to common projectors. or to a special screen. It worked like this: with a projected image being reflected by a mirror, there was the feeling that the generated figure was being created in an empty space.
After presenting two models of 3D projectors in Rio de Janeiro in 1934, Brazilian scientist — who also studied medicine in São Paulo — even received several invitations to improve his invention abroad. However, after refusing them, over time, his creations ended up falling into oblivion.
Artificial heart 4g525d
Inventor: Aron de Andrade (1974)
Year of creation: 2000
One of the greatest inventions of modern medicine, the first artificial heart was created in 2000 by a mechanical engineer from São Paulo Aaron de Andrade, member of Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology (SP).
A brazilian invention it consisted of a device moved by an electric motor connected to the natural heart and that gave patients a longer life (especially those more sensitive to medications) until they could receive an organ transplant.
Kinect 2h6m3
Inventor: Alex Kipman (1979)
Year of creation: 2010
Video game cameras took a leap when the Kinect: device Microsoft for your desktop video game, the XBOX 360, which interprets the 's movements through a camera connected to the console. The initial project — authored by the engineer from Curitiba Alex Kipman — arose in the company's incubation laboratory and was named after Project Natal, named after the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Norte.
The world got to know the device Kinect during the Microsoft presentation at E3 2010, which showed its real application through s testing the game's games Kinect Adventures. The idea of kipman emerged when he was still Director of Incubation Projects at Microsoft. Amidst thoughts and reflections on the dependent use of buttons and controls in video game systems, the idea of creating a system that united man and machine in gestural commands for their interpretation, without the need to press buttons, came up.
Even though its production was discontinued in early 2018, the Kinect revolutionized the market and would give life to future technologies of FaceID on smartphones and even today it can be considered one of the great Brazilian inventions of all time.
electronic football scoreboard 5q531z
Inventor: Carlos Eduardo Lamboglia (?)
Year of creation: 1996
First used in World Cup (1998), electronic football scoreboard — those luminous plates so used by refereeing teams in games —, was the result of the invention of a Brazilian: the Ceará Carlos Eduardo Lamboglia. lamboglia patented its creation in 1997, a year after having created it — and a year before it was used for the first time — thus becoming one of the technologies most used in televised football games.
The idea of creating a replacement electronic came up when lamboglia noticed the difficulty of the referees in dealing with the old wooden boards in soccer matches. At the time, his work developing a luminous advertising sign would soon be replaced by one aimed at helping referees. lamboglia decided to take his creation to Ceará Football Federation (FCF), who initially refused, but soon after accepted it as a donation.
Wireless Human Voice Transmission (Radio Transmission) 4i586o
Inventor: Foot. Roberto Landell de Moura (1861-1928)
Year of creation: 1893
Even though the creation of the radio was attributed to another inventor, it was the gaucho priest Robert Landell de Moura responsible for the first wireless human voice transmission (radio emission), which happened through experiments in the early 1890s. Father Robert Landell had studied with Jesuits of São Leopoldo/RS, and on Polytechnic School of Rio de Janeiro, at Pio Americano College and Gregorian University (In Rome).
The use of electromagnetic waves and sound modulation was performed publicly for the first time by the Father landell the city of São Paulo, covering a distance of 8 km, which went from Avenida Paulista to the Santana neighborhood, in the College of the Sisters of Saint Joseph (current Santana College). In the same year, the father exhibited his inventions: the kaleophone, Teleauxiophone, anematophone, Teletiton and Oediphon as Brazilian inventions.
Landell de Moura patented his invention in Brazil and, soon after, he went to the United States, with the intention of succeeding in his endeavor. There he was recognized by the The Patent Office at Washington, in 1904, in the inventions of wave transmitter, wireless telephone, and wireless telegraph.
Lastly, upon returning to Brazil, the landell ended up leaving his brazilian invention for not counting on the help and investment of the government, nor of the public, to continue.
electronic voting machine 3g4x5e
Inventor: Carlos Prudencio (1943)
Year of creation: 1988
In 1988, in the city of Brusque, Santa Catarina, the then state electoral judge Carlos Prudencio created, together with his brother — a businessman in the field of informatics —, the first electronic terminal for voting.
A creation of electronic ballot box arose from the need to avoid human intervention, as well as to eliminate slowdowns and possible fraud, which was a concern at the time, as prudence report in interview. Soon after its creation, the Electronic Ballot Box was used on an experimental basis in the city, but it was only officially used in 1995. The following year, it spread to other municipalities — still as tests — to be improved and used throughout the national territory in the year 2000.
Stereobelt (Portable Audio Player) 1p4a2
Inventor: Andreas Pavel (1945)
Year of creation: 1978
Born in in 1945 and naturalized in Brazil at the age of six, Andreas Pavel was responsible for inventing a device known as Stereobelt. Between 1976 and 1978, the German-Brazilian would create the gadgets forerunner of portable sound Walkman, marking his name in history.
The idea to play sounds remotely and to be heard through headphones came from Paul, who had the dream of taking the perfect acoustics he had in his home wherever he went. So he ed the patent for the Stereobelt - an brazilian technology portable device capable of playing K7 tapes — on October 5, 1978.
Next, the Brazilian scientist Andreas Pavel showed his experiment to companies like Sony e brionvega, the former having refused the offer of Paul to later launch, without his authorization, a device very similar to his invention, called Walkman. Furthermore, the device Sony would still eliminate the chances of launching the Stereobelt by the Italian company Briovenga due to competitiveness.
After spending 23 years fighting the Sony in justice for royalties and recognition of his invention, the Brazilian inventor Andreas Pavel won the case and was rewarded through a settlement with the company and, as is reported, a few million dollars.
