Personnaly I read about Pirotsky just some months ago. However Google tips several people the same as Zvorykin and Nobel in the box "men also search for". So who was this mister Pirotsky? The boy was born in Ukraine, which was a region of Tzarist Russia. That was time to learn and the youth departed to the capital of the country. Upon his arrival from the capital back to home, Pyrotsky encountered other remarkable inventor of the era, Pavel Yablochkov. This man is known for his inventions in the area of electrical engineering, and primarily for the development an incandescent lamps. These lamps pleased the eyes of visitors to the Exhibition in France in 1878, where the devices shined. Yablochkov amazed the youthful fellow and suggest him his way. Soon our hero went in the capital and offered a series of betterment in blast furnaces. However the principal topic of his life was electric trains. Soon he laid about a mile of railway with electric cars. This electric current moved inside rails, so Anna Karenina would not looking forward to a train on this railway and would died even sooner. After five years, Pirotsky reconstructed several old trams driven by horses in the city into electricity, and that triggered wrath of the proprietors of old transportation. Unfortunately, the scientist was not able to get a sponsor for inventions of him and the activity had to be stopped soon. Although, Karl Heinrich von Siemens, one of the constructors of the giant Siemens corporation, interested in his work, and in a year man and of him brother completed a tram line powered by electricity in Berlin.
