Scientists who died because of their Discoveries

Bell, Edison, Tesla, etc. are standing among the famous inventors, who we frequently want to recall with words of praise. We still get to enjoy the results of their labour, but some scientists were not so lucky, and they lost their lives due to mistakes made in their profession. Here we have some scientists who died because of their discoveries, but these passionate people are genuine admirers of science and its practitioners who were turned off by an evil lust for new knowledge and widespread acclaim.

Today, we’ll discuss those creators whose inventions had a fatal impact on their lives.

1. Max Valier : Rocket experimenter

In the 1920s, Max Valier born near Bozen, Austria-Hungary, contributed to the spread of Hermann Oberth's ideas — In the 1920s, Max Valier born near Bozen, Austria-Hungary, contributed to the spread of Hermann Oberth’s ideas.

It is conceivable to consider Max Vallier a forerunner in the advancement of rocket technology. Physicist, mechanic, veteran of World War I, author, and journalist. Along with the grandson of the Opel company’s founder, this complex individual worked on the development of rocket automobiles and aircraft.

Heinrich Oberth, a German engineer and physicist who helped Vallier with the book’s publication, had some strong opinions on Max’s plan to construct rocket automobiles.

In his opinion, there was no practical justification for their development, and there was also no security issue at all. This occurred at the conclusion of 1929, and less than six months later Valle passed away while testing an alcohol-powered rocket automobile. Right there on the test bench, the rocket blew up.

2. Marie Curie’s radioactivity

It wouldn’t be a mistake, in my view, to include information about such a distinguished scientist in this article. Marie Curie was tool risk and destroyed by her scientific labour, despite the fact that she does not fit the stereotype of the crazed inventor.

No doubt on her contributions towards science and the world, Curie was a remarkable individual.

In addition to being the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for physics and chemistry, she was also the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne and the first woman to be elected to the Paris Medical Academy. She is also a well-known public figure.

She discovered radioactivity and coined the word along with her husband, Pierre Curie, and Antoine Henri Becquerel. Along with her husband, she also made two new chemical discoveries: polonium and radium. She severely hampered her health while doing tests on the effects of radiation on living tissues, which ultimately led to her death. Marie Curie is an example of a real independent, strong woman who demonstrated this quality in action by building a solid reputation and winning people’s respect through hard labor.

A striking illustration of how they differ from the current feminist movement, which is limited to speaking.

3. Franz Reichelt: Jumping from Eiffel Tower

Although Franz Reichelt, a Frenchman, is not a scientist, he definitely deserves the nickname “mad inventor. He was a dreamer. By 1903, he started dreaming of many experiments in the aviation field.

In which the first aircraft experiment of the Wright Brothers was greatly influenced. Maybe he was looking for safety in air travel.” Franz desired to build a “cloak-parachute” in his dream. And he constructed it. You can see the creator in the old photo up below. From the summer of 1910, Reichelt began testing the parachute suit. With a winged suit that claimed carried a dummy from the fifth story to the ground with a comfortable landing, he achieved some early success.

The premise behind his future suit designs, however, was not supported by more dummies that were thrown from the top of his clothing shop and crashed into the courtyard. This would have been a lethal fall for a real person.

According to a 1912 article in the French daily newspaper Le Matin, He also told his plan to the big aviation organization, Aéro-Club de France, of France, in which the shortcomings in his design were told. but he was very passionate.

Franz Reichelt died in 1912 after testing his parachute by falling off the Eiffel Tower.

Eventually, the French government also gave Reichelt permission to test this raincoat on the Eiffel Tower in 1912. The authorities expected the tailor to do the test on a mannequin, but instead he sprang off and fell.

Franz Reichelt, the dreamer, died in 1912 during testing his parachute by falling off the Eiffel Tower.

4. Alexander Bogdanov : Blood transfusions experiments

A well-known Russian politician and public figure who can be categorised as an idealistic scientist was Alexander Bogdanov (actual name Malinovsky). He was a communist, but due to authoritarian thinking, he left the party after the 1917 revolution. Of course he had been a very controversial person.

Bogdanov was a doctor, economist, philosopher, researcher, author of utopia science fiction, artist, professor, politician (unsuccessful), lifelong revolutionary, and the founder of the first organisation in the world solely focused on the study of blood transfusions. He created and vigorously pushed his own notion about how blood transfusions may rejuvenate the human body.

The highest-ranking government officials also agreed with this viewpoint, which speaks well of their demeanour.

He decided to experiment with blood transfusions as a technique of immortality in 1924. Bogdanov put himself through the wringer. He said that his vision had increased and his hair was not falling out as much after receiving eleven transfusions.

On Yakimanka, the Blood Institute was established by personal command of Stalin, and Bogdanov was appointed director. The scientist continued his research and performed a transfusion on a Koldomasov student. Although Bogdanov promised to heal his TB, But in 1928, when he mistakenly received blood from the student who had malaria and tuberculosis, this particular transfusion ended his life.

They merely had a distinct Rh component, which was identified 12 years later; it became obvious in the future. The doctor ultimately passed away. Fortunately, the student made it through.
