Martenot was not only interested in sounds. He wanted to use electricity to increase and control the expression, the musicality. Everything is made by the musician in real time, including the control of the vibrato, the intensity, and the attack. It is an important step in our electronic instrument lineage." [13]
Japanese engineer Kenjiro Takayanagi was the first to transmit human faces in half-tones on television, influencing the later work of Vladimir K. Zworykin [18] 1928: First experimental Television broadcast in the U.S. 1929: First public TV broadcast in Germany 1931: First wind energy plant in the Soviet Union 1934
It is the earliest known electric-powered musical instrument, antedated only by the Denis d'or, which is only known from written accounts. The world's first electronic instrument was created in 1753 by the Czech musician and clergyman Prokop Divish (1698 - 1765). His distinctive feature was to show experiments in physics lessons.
So the earliest evidence of tool use that we are likely to find are often cut marks made on bone by stone or shell tools. Therefore, it should not be assumed that the items on this list represent the earliest uses of tools in each area, but rather the earliest uses of tools that have been found .
The earliest evidence of water wheels and watermills date back to the ancient Near East in the 4th century BC, [27] specifically in the Persian Empire before 350 BC, in the regions of Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Persia (Iran). [28] This pioneering use of water power constituted the first human-devised motive force not to rely on muscle power ...
The earliest pipes were made of clay, and are found at the Temple of Bel at Nippur in Babylonia. [127] [b] 4000 BC: Oldest evidence of locks, the earliest example discovered in the ruins of Nineveh, the capital of ancient Assyria. [130] 4000 BC – 3400 BC: Oldest evidence of wheels, found in the countries of Ukraine, Poland, and Germany. [131 ...
Lev Sergeyevich Termen [a] (27 August [O.S. 15 August] 1896 – 3 November 1993), better known as Leon Theremin was a Russian inventor, most famous for his invention of the theremin, one of the first electronic musical instruments and the first to be mass-produced. He also worked on early television research.
The MOSFET made it possible to build high-density integrated circuit chips. [58] The earliest experimental MOS IC chip to be fabricated was built by Fred Heiman and Steven Hofstein at RCA Laboratories in 1962. [61] MOS technology enabled Moore's law, the doubling of transistors on an IC chip every two years, predicted by Gordon Moore in 1965. [62]
