Friends, has it ever happened to you that while trying a new recipe, you got something that was not written in the recipe, but when you tasted it, instead of getting worse, it tasted better?
Now, before making handi, you may not have thought that you will accidentally invent a new dish, but you still became the inventor of a new dish. Friends, Columbus never dreamed that he would discover America. He was just taking his three ships, The Nina, The Pinta and Santa Maria, with his group from Spain to Asia, but due to a change in the direction of the wind, his ship went to the other side and a few days later, Columbus reached America. Discovered Although some experts believe that there were people living there even before Columbus discovered it, but Columbus has a hand in bringing America to the world and giving it an identity, and a small accidental discovery is a means of discovering an entire country. became Friends, our world is very old and in these years many mistakes have been made by the people living in this world and some of these accidents and mistakes are also beneficial for us. Today I will tell you about these accidental inventions that came into existence due to some mistake or accident and they made our life much easier.
The microwave oven
Yes, friends, I am talking about the same microwave wool in which we heat food easily in two minutes today. It was also invented by American physicist Percy Spencer by accident. After World War II, Percy was working on magnetron high power vacuum tubes that could generate tiny radio waves, which he called microwaves. One day while working, the chocolate in his pocket melted, from which he deduced that it was the work of the Magnetrons. Based on this idea, he invented the world’s first microwave oven.
Coca Cola
Dr. John Stith Pemberton was a pharmacist who was trying to create a syrup to relieve headaches and anxiety. A small amount of cocaine and alcohol was also supposed to be added to this syrup, but because alcohol was prohibited in Atlanta, they added carbonated water instead of alcohol in the syrup, and when the syrup was tasted, people liked it enough, after which Additional beverages based on the formula were sold at 5 cents per bottle. A few years later, when cocaine was banned, it was removed from the recipe, and the remaining ingredients became the recipe for Coca-Cola we drink today.
Safety Pins
Friends, you know how useful safety pins are for us in many places, like we can tie a scarf on our head with the help of safety pins, they are also used to fasten clothes temporarily and if ever your If the bag’s zip hook comes off, you can temporarily replace it with safety pins. But the thing to think about is how and when this small but very useful thing was invented. Friends, it was many years ago when an American mechanic, Walter Hunt, was sitting thinking how to get rid of so much debt on his head. And while watching it, he thought that whenever the metal strip is coiled, it also catches and releases it, and for the first time in the world, he succeeded in discovering this simple technique, and friends in the same way 10 In April 1849, the safety pin was formally invented.
Tea bags
Friends Thomas Sullivan was a tea merchant and around 1908 he started sending samples of his tea in small silk bags to impress his buyers and at that time he had no intention of making tea bags. Their buyers liked these small silk bags very much and they started consuming the tea by putting it in hot water along with the bags. They thought that those bags were quite stylish and they could easily carry them anywhere and that’s how the modern tea bags used today were discovered.
Popsicles
Friends, Frank Epperson was not a scientist, an engineer or a pharmacist, but an ordinary 11-year-old child who mixed soda powder and water in water one night and forgot to put it outside and the next day when he looked, the mixture had frozen and The mixing spoon got stuck in the frozen mixture and when he took it out and tasted it, he liked it very much and thus popsicles were invented. At first these popsicles were named as eppsicles but after some time they were renamed as popsicles for better marketing.
Dynamite
Explosive materials such as gunpowder or dynamite have also been discovered by accident, and friends, just think how terrible the accident would have been. Friends, Alfred Nobel was a Swedish scientist and engineer. He started experimenting with nitroglycerine, which is an explosive substance, in 1860, and once he unknowingly mixed nitroglycerine with kieselguhr, an explosion occurred that killed several people, including his own brother. He lost his life and thus discovered dynamite.
Dry cleaning
Friends, Jean Baptiste Jolly was a clothing industry and one day the lady of the maid who worked for him
Kerosene fell on a piece of cloth from Latti and when that cloth was used, the people there realized that due to the kerosene falling, the cloth became clean and that’s how they got the idea of dry cleaning.
Potato Chips
In 1953, there was a New York chef named George Crum, and during his work, many customers complained that his potato french fries were too thick and soft. George had only one solution to this problem and that was to cut the fries thinly and fry them until they were lightly browned. By removing the same complaints from the customers, George finally succeeded in making such thin and crispy chips that the customers liked very much and we still enjoy them even today.
X-ray Machines
Physics professor Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen was once experimenting in a vacuum tube covered with cardboard when he saw light on a chemically coated screen. After observing for a while, when Wilhelm placed his hand on the illuminated screen, the bones of his hand began to show, and thus the X-ray machine was invented on November 8, 1895.
Vaseline
Friends, we use Vaseline for various purposes like moisturizing the skin, preventing rashes and healing wounds. But it is a matter of thinking that how we came to know about all these benefits and how Vaseline was invented. When the twenty-two-year-old Robert Augustus went to an oil field in 1859, he saw that the workers there were applying something called rod wax, which was extracted from the pump, to heal all kinds of wounds, and from there Robert got the idea of making Vaseline.
Ice-cream Cones
Once St. Louis fair, an ice cream vendor had a rush and ran out of cups while serving ice cream to so many customers. Friends, a man named Ernest A Hamvi was selling waffles next to that ice cream shop and when he saw that the ice cream cups were gone, he made his waffles into a cone shape and put ice cream in it. Started. Customers liked this combination so much that ice cream cones were invented.
Safety Glass
Scientist Edward Benedictus was working comfortably in his lab when suddenly the flask he kept fell down. The fall made a noise, but the flask escaped shattering and only cracked a little. Edward was sure that the flask must have broken, but when he saw that there was only a crack on the flask, after observing for a while, he realized that the inside of the flask had been coated with Cellulose Nitrate, which caused the flask to break. was saved from and based on this idea Safety Glass was invented.
Super Glue
Scientist Harry Coover was searching for materials to make clear plastic gun sights that soldiers could use in World War II, but he accidentally found a formula for creating super glue that could bond tightly to anything but At that time, the rest of the researchers did not pay much attention to this formula and ignored it, then maybe they did not have an idea of how much work can be done with this formula in the future.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Friends, in 1930, when Ruth Wakefield was making chocolate cookies for a guest at Toll House Incorporation, she remembered that the chocolate powder had run out and she did not have enough time to go to the market to buy chocolate powder. They put some pieces of Nestlé chocolate bars lying around the house into the cookie dough, thinking that they would melt. But it didn’t happen and that’s when the world’s first chocolate chip cookies were made.
So friends, in all these inventions, did you find any similarity that the inventor of all these things used his creativity to the fullest and never gave up. Friends, this teaches us that success is the destiny of those who work tirelessly without giving up. Hope this video will increase your knowledge and you will be entertained by watching it.
