It is possible to list long all ranks of the famous scientist Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov who covered a set of scientific spheres. He was both a physicist, and the chemist, and the cultural figure, and still he is an ingenious inventor and the rationalizer.
Mechanics
First of all, it should be noted that M. Lomonosov sought to invent not so much new how many to investigate the nature of the phenomena which are not studied during this period. Whatever one may do, he is a scientific husband about what also repeatedly wrote in the letters. Lomonosov created the viscometer, the device which could determine viscosity level in liquid, with its help began to select correctly lubricants for mechanical engineering.
Also he the first understood that if to apply crystal and glass in clockworks, then it is possible to reduce friction level in devices such.
Astronomy
Perhaps, as the main opening for such science as astronomy, serves the "nochezritelny pipe" developed by Lomonosov or just the device for night vision with telescopic effect. In its development the telescope had one concave glass at an angle in 4 degrees to a telescopic axis. Sunshine were reflected in this glass and got to a side eyepiece. Lomonosov presented the development of the telescope to scientists of Academy of Sciences.
The formulation M. Lomonosov to the molecular and kinetic theory which formed the basis of the formulated matter conservation law became important opening for science.
Further such pipes for night vision were improved, understood need of completions and Mikhail Vasilyevich, and therefore throughout life perfected the skill of observation and calculation of stars on the available telescopes.
Optics
In the field of optics its inventions are: botoskop and gorizontoskop. Thanks to a botoskop it was possible to see perfectly depth and to study the underwater world, and gorizontoskop allowed to consider the surrounding area in the horizontal plane. Several stages in its work with glass which opened the following subjects are allocated: the range of initial materials, mineral dyes for glass and studying interaction of dye and glass.
Especially It should be noted its contribution to science about glass, its experiments with glass are measured by thousands.
Distinctive feature of methods of work with glass was the measured technique, Lomonosov strictly observed quantity of components, their weighing, plus to everything it stored all the samples which were brought closer to perfection in his understanding, and they were more than one thousand. Elements by means of which Lomonosov tried to obtain coloring of glasses had the following structure: lead, tin, copper and antimony. When using copper in various chemical compounds it received red, green and turquoise shades, still many are surprised how he received such rich and colourful palette.
