This technology at that time was in its infancy and she sacrificed her time, scientific carrier and in the end her health -> because there was no technicians trained in this technology to operated this prototype... and its nowdays officialy recognized that this is the real cause of her death and she is considered a French hero that died because of her service during WW1.

Their device did not contain any innovative technical solutions, but the Poles succeeded for the first time in achieving what no one else in the world had managed to do: they built a simple, lightweight and robust mine detector, suitable for use by soldiers directly on the battlefield. And now let us think of all those boys who returned from the war on their own two feet.

Sir Pawel Strezelecki explored much of the Australian inland and the track in central Australia is named after him. He also explored the Snowy Mountains and left a permanent monument there by naming our highest mountain after his fellow great countryman Thaddeus Kosciuszko.

4:30 More importantly, Ignacy Lukasiewicz invented the method of oil distillation and is the founder of the world's first oil mine! It opened in 1854 in Bóbrka (Southern-Eastern Poland) and is still in operation. Today, there is also a Museum of Petroleum Industry. Lukasiewicz showed the Americans the entire technology, the whole process from extraction to distillation. When asked about patents and price, Lukasiewicz replied that he was doing it for the good and development of mankind and was against using this knowledge to pursue vested interests and amass great wealth. Unlike John Rockefeller, who used it all for his own ends.

The story of Lukasiewicz and kerosene is that the Rockefellers went to meet with him and he showed them how to crack oil. They asked what they owed him for the invention and he just said that as long as it’s used for the good of humanity, he doesn’t want any money. Interesting isn’t it?

Stefan Banach (30 March 1892 - 31 August 1945) was a Polish mathematician who is generally considered one of the 20th century's most important and influential mathematicians. He was the founder of modern functional analysis and an original member of the Lwów School of Mathematics. His major work was the 1932 book, Théorie des opérations linéaires (Theory of Linear Operations), the first monograph on the general theory of functional analysis. Rudolf Stefan Jan Weigl (2 September 1883 - 11 August 1957) was a Polish biologist, physician and inventor, known for creating the first effective vaccine against epidemic typhus.

[@alh6255]

It was Warsaw-Lwów School of Mathematics. It was a school in the sense of a mathematical movement, not a separate university.

As a Pole, I could mention a few other inventions. One of the greatest Polish inventions was the development of an industrial technology for the production of crystals needed to produce blue lasers. Among other things, because we patented this technology perfectly Blu-ray never became a standard as popular as DVD and instead we switched to streaming technology. The Poles did not know how to use this technology themselves, they did not want to sell it, and it took a long time for technological concerns to create other technologies, which made Blu-ray expensive and not as popular as its predecessors. Great contribution to the development of humanity XD Exactly the same situation is with graphene. We also developed the technology of cheap mass production, which we patented, which is why two decades have passed since its discovery and still graphene is not widely used despite being such a wonderful technology. Gallium nitride production technology was more fortunate. We patented it too, but it has been released. That is why fast iPhone chargers are fast and small, among other things, although it is mainly used to build modern radars. Thanfuly we had a domestic industry that would utilize this invention. From what I remember, Melexes were also a Polish invention, but also created outside of Poland.

The polio vaccine: 1/ Hilary Koprowski born in Warsaw in 1916: discovers that the host of poliomyelitis is the cotton rat and thus develops the first live polio vaccine in 1951: live, i.e. based on weakened rather than killed antigens. 2/ Albert Sabin, born in Bialystok in 1906: develops the first oral polio vaccine, which began to be used in 1961. Both of them became US citizens after emigrating and worked there.

A lot of people forget about the most important Polish invention. Invention is used to produce cpu and all modern electricity devices. Without this we wouldn't have a mobile phone etc. The Czochralski method, also Czochralski technique or Czochralski process, is a method of crystal growth used to obtain single crystals of semiconductors (e.g. silicon, germanium and gallium arsenide).

1:25 You wonder how often war contributes to inventions. In this case it was quite different. The "Device for quickly establishing radiotelegraph or radiotelephony communication" was reported and patented in Poland by a Pole several years before the war. Henryk Manguski, born and educated in Poland, worked at the time in Poland in the "Państwowe Zakłady Tele i Radiotechniczne". He left for the USA just before the war for additional training and had no way to return to destroyed by the war and later occupied by the Russians Poland.

I think Janina Adamczyk was the most prolific modern chemist-inventor. She was dubbed "Ludwik's mother" even though she was never mentioned in the patent documents for inventing this famous washing-up liquid, an eco-friendly product before it was considered important and fashionable to have them on offer. I know she also worked on emulsified liquid pastes, including shoe polish (Kiwi had to eventually buy the patent from Inco, Janina's employer) and cutting and polishing discs for grinders (your typical Bosh equipment).

In 1911 she received a second Nobel Prize, this time in Chemistry, in recognition of her work in radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and with her later win, in Chemistry, she became the first person to claim Nobel honors twice; Henryk Sienkiewicz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1905 for his outstanding literary achievemen, for example for "Quo Vadis" or "With Fire and Sword" (18 Poles won Nobel Prizes); Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit was born in Gdańsk - he is best known for inventing the mercury thermometer (1714) and developing the Fahrenheit temperature scale (1724).

How about something more recent? Blue laser was a Polish invention. And most recently one young Polish woman using a German scientific grant invented new type of battery for example. Polish people often are inventors but such who are forced to sell their invention due to lack of funds for developing the commerical mass-produced version of their invention. But Polish inventosna re numerous. As for old yet significant, it was a pair of Polish experts that allowed us to make gases liquid in low temperatures so that humanity could get to know the chemical composition of air. Their lab is still shown to the public in one of the museum of Kraków. One of them later on died tragically due to heavy burns that he had suffered in the aftermath of yet another chemical experiment he was carrying out at local university lab. But his partner continued to pursue his passion in experiements but in the field of physics of gases. So if we can have nowadays so vital liquid gas as a gas form, yes, this is also due to Polish contribution to global scientific development. Polish people were the first ever to make any gas known to humans liquid.

In 1992 Japanese inventor Shuji Nakamura invented the first efficient blue LED, and four years later, the first blue laser. Nakamura used the material deposited on the sapphire substrate, although the number of defects remained too high (106-1010/cm2) to easily build a high-power laser. In the early 1990s the Institute of High Pressure Physics at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (Poland), under the leadership of Dr. Sylwester Porowski developed technology to create gallium nitride crystals with high structural quality and fewer than 100 defects per square centimeter - at least 10,000 times better than the best sapphire-supported crystal.[1]

A lot of things are invented by several people at the same time independent of each other (such as radio and television), it's a phenomenon known as "adjacent possible". Basically it means that once somebody invents something, it opens the door for others to see the possibility of taking that technology or idea one step further. That's also why there is often argument over who actually invented certain things. Often the person who was better at self-promotion ends up being the one recognized in history. Also, as you said about the train signal - often there are things that are crying out to be invented and it's only a matter of time before somebody will do it.

Jan Szczepanik (the TV guy) is a pretty tragic example of an inventor. He created tons of stuff, often earlier or around the same time as people elsewhere but those other people (like Lumiere brothers) had better marketing skills, so his inventions weren't used broadly. Basically what happened was that we could have films in colour much earlier if Lumiere's brothers kinetoscop (?) wasn't so ferociously advertised, pushing Szczepanik's invention into obscurity.
