Kulibin. The main mechanicus of Russia. Issue 30. 5th edition. Malbysheva M.A.

Ivan Kulibin-a Russian inventor-self-taught 18th century, much ahead of his time. Having no special education, he built things that the best scientists of the world admired. How much he came up with! The "self -asseased" stroller is the prototype of future vehicles. A self -propelled vessel, abolishing the hard work of the Burlakov. Fireworks who could envy the most skilled pyrotechnics of China. And his famous clock-the gift of Empress Catherine-is still stored in the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, surprising both ordinary people and specialists. This is the second edition of Kulibin. She enjoyed such a success that it diverged in the shortest possible time.
