Pavel Yablochkov

Pavel Yablochkov was a Russian electrical engineer and businessman. He was also the                          (INVENT) of the Yablochkov candle – a type of electric carbon arc lamp – and the transformer. A Yablochkov candle was much easier to use than other kinds of lamps.

The first public use of a Yablochkov candle took place in Paris in 1877. The Paris Exposition of 1878 gave Yablochkov a great opportunity to make a spectacular                          (DEMONSTRATE) of his candle to the world audience.

It was so                          (SUCCESS) that many contemporary businessmen got interested in Yablochkov candles.

They                          (QUICK) set up companies licensing Yablochkov’s patents. From the mid-1880s, Yablochkov started to devote more of his time to the problems of generating electrical energy. 

Many of Yablochkov’s further inventions were much ahead of his time. Modern                          (SCIENCE) still use his ideas in their work.
