which at one point produced 50% of the world's oil .He also became
the richest man in the word .Ludvig Nobel invented oil tankers
Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, Sweden on October 21, 1833.
chemist, engineer, innovator, and armaments manufacturer.
He was the inventor of dynamite
Emil Nobel (1843–1864) Died at the age of 21
His father love for experimenting explosoins ( nitroglycerin ) with his sons was
an familly amusement activity and at the same time related to their jobs .
This lead to Emil Nobel death from explosion at the
4. The family invested in the education
of the boys. All instruction was
provided by private tutors in their
home
The Nobel brothers had a Swedish
tutor – Lars Sanderson, Master of Arts
– who taught them Swedish language
and history , literature and
philosophy
They also had a skilled russian
teacher who taught them
mathematics, physics and chemistry
They learned to speak Russian,
English, French, and German and
Swedish fluently
5. Alferd loved poetry and
literature
however In his fathers mind
these subjects brought no
profit . There for he disagreed
with him studying literature
at age 17 he was sent to
Paris by his dad to study
chemistry , In the lab he
met the inventor of
Nitroglycerine Jules Palouse
This Is where Alfred became
interested in nitroglycerine
6. Alfred Nobel built bridges and
buildings in Stockholm. His
construction work inspired
Nobel to research new methods
of blasting rock.
In 1860, the inventor first
started experimenting with
nitroglycerine which lead to
inventions of dynamite
8. One year later, Alfred Nobel
Build a factory in germany ...
This business exported a
liquid combination of
nitroglycerin
and gunpowder called
"Blasting Oil", but this was
extremely unstable and
difficult to handle,. The
buildings of the Factory were
destroyed twice.[6]
Liquid nitroglycerin was w
banned, and these problems
led to Alfred Nobel and his
company's
developing dynamite in 1867
