Dynamite was invented in Geesthacht, Germany in 1866 (patented in 1867) by Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel. His invention was intended to be a safer way to use nitroglycerin but it caused many accidental deaths and also came to be used in war, so Nobel decided to make his legacy a positive one. When he died, he had set apart a large amount of his wealth to fund the Nobel Prizes.
He invented nitroglycerin - explosives - kill people
I think it is because he felt bad that he had killed so many people with his inventin of dynamite. Is this true? If not, then why?
He felt guilty for inveting a dinamite that kill many people
because it killed his brother and many others :D
Eight years prior to his death, on 13 April 1888, Alfred Nobel read an obituary to himself. Although it was his brother Ludwig who had actually died, the obituary described Alfred Nobel's own achievements, believing it was he who had died. The obituary condemned Nobel for inventing dynamite, an explosive which caused the deaths of so many. It is said that this experience led Nobel to choose to leave a better legacy to the world after his death than being remembered for inventing dynamite.
No, Alfred Nobel did not invent atom bombs. He is known for inventing dynamite and establishing the Nobel Prizes. The development of atomic bombs involved the contributions of many scientists, notably led by physicists such as Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer.
he accidentaly killed many people in his line of study by expierementing
Alfred Nobel discovered a way to volatile nitroglycerin into a storable marketable form of explosive called DYNAMITE! His family had always been involved with chemistry and in fact his Brother died while experimenting with TNT. Alfred's Contributions: In 1864, Alfred Nobel founded Nitroglycerin AB in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1865, he built the Alfred Nobel & Co. Factory in Krümmel near Hamburg, Germany. In 1866, he established the United States Blasting Oil Company in the U.S. In 1870, he established the Société général pour la fabrication de la dynamite in Paris, France. Although his intentions were good, Dynamite was used for more than building and construction - it was used for destruction and war- causing the death of many people. Alfred felt terrible about this, he wanted a way to right what went wrong- so when he died in 1896, Alfred Nobel left behind a 9 million dollar endowment fund to support his lasting wish for peace and invention. The Nobel prize is awarded yearly to people whose work helps humanity. In total, Alfred Nobel had 355 patents in the fields of electrochemistry, optics, biology, and physiology. GO ALFRED! It wasn't so much in his honor, but he was the one who put up the original prize money. I assume the prize money now comes from some kind of trust he or someone else set up in his name. Phil
One accomplishment he made was the invention of the earliest form of dynamite. There have been many changes, but Alfred Nobel was the first person to patent dynamite. Another major accomplishment was the Nobel Prize. Alfred put his earnings of dynamite investments into a recognition that was given to very few people throughout history that is also still used today.
when you talk about Cisco's patents, you have to consider Cisco subsidiaries as well, considering all the cisco's subsidiaries and world wide geography, CISCO have 35,000 patents (10600 unique)
