Alfred Nobel
The man behind the Nobel Prize
A Since 1901,the Nobel Prize has been honoring men and women from all comers of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics^ chemistry; medicine, literature and for work in peace. The foundations for the prize were laid in 1895 when Alfred Nobel \\T〇te his last will, leaving much of his wealth to the establishment of the Nobel Prize.
B Alfred Nobel was bom in Stockholm on October 21, 1833. His father Immanuel Nobel was an engineer and invents who built bridges and buildings in Stockholm In connection with his construction work Immanuel Nobel also experimented with different techniques for blasting rocks. Successful in his industrial and business ventures, Immanuel Nobel was able, in 1842, to bring his family to St Petersburg. There, his sons were given a first class education by private teachers. The training included natural sciences, languages and literature. By the age of 17 Alfred Nobel was fluent in Swedish, Russian, French, English and German. His primary interests were in English literature and poetry as well as in chemistry and physics. Alfred's father who wanted his sons to join his enterprise as engineers disliked Alfred's interest in poetry and found his son rather introverted.
C In order to widen Alfred's horizons his father sent him abroad for furrier training in chemical engineering During a two-year period Alfred Nobel visited Sweden Germany, France and the United States. In Pads, the city he came to like best he worked in the private labcratory of Professor T. J.Pelouze,a famous chemist There he met the young Italian diemist Ascanio. Sobrero who, three years earlier had invented nitroglycerine, a highly explosive liquid But it was considered too dangerous to be of any practical use. Although its its explosive power greatly exceeded that of gunpowder, the liquid would explode in a very unpredictable manner if subjected to heat and pressure. Alfred Nobel became very interested in nitroglycerine and how it could be put to practical use in construction work. He also realized that the safety problems had to be solved and a method had to be developed for the controlled detonation of nitroglycerine.
D After his return to Sweden in 1863, Alfred Nobel concentrated on developing nitroglycerine as an explosive. Several explosions, including one (1864) in which his brother and several other persons were killed, convinced the authorities that nitroglycerine production was exceedingly dangerous. They forbade further experimentation with nitroglycerine within the Stockholm city limits and Alfred Nobel had to move his experimentation to a barge anchored on Lake Malaren Alfred was not discouraged and in 1864 he was able to start mass production of nitroglycerine. To make the handling of nitroglycerine safer Alfred Nobel experimented with different additives. He soon found that mixing nitroglycerine with kieselguhr turn the liquid into a paste which could be shaped into rods of a size and farm suitable for- insertion into drilling holes In 1867 he patented this material under the name of dynamite. To be able to detonate the dynamite rods he also invented a detonator (blasting cap) which could be ignited by lighting a fuse. These inventions were made at the same time as the pneumatic drill came into general use. Together these invention drastically reduced the cost of blasting rock, drilling tunnels, building canals and many other forms of construction work.
E The market for dynamite and detonating caps grew very rapidly and Alfred Nobel also proved himself to be a very skillful entrepreneur and businessman Over the years he founded factories and laboratories in some 90 different places in mare than 20 countries. Although he lived in Paris much of his life he was constantly traveling. When he was not traveling or engaging in business activities Nobel himself worked intensively in his various laboratories, first in Stockholm and later in other places. He focused on the development of explosives technology as well as other chemical inventions, including such materials as synthetic rubber and leafier, artificial sill, etc. By the time of his death in 18% he had 355 patents.
F Intensive work and travel did not leave much time for a private life. At the age of 43 he was feeling like an old man. At this time he advertised in a newspaper “wealthy, highly-deucated elder gentleman seeks lady of mature age, versed in languages, as secretary and supervisor of household ” . The nost qualified applicant turned out to be an Austrian women, countess Bertha Kinsky. After working a very shourt time for Nobel she decided to retum to Austria to marry Count Arhur you Sutmer In Spite of this Alfred Nobel and Bertha von Suttner remained friends and kept writing letters to each other for decades. Over the years Bertha von Sttner became increasingly critical of the arms race. She wrote a famous book Lay Down Our Arms and became a prominent figure in the peace movement. No dout this influenced Alfred Nobel when he wrote his final will which was to include a Prize for persons or organizations who promoted peace. Several years after the death of Alfred Nobel, the Norwegian Storting (Parliament) decided to award the 1905 Nobel Peace Prize to Bertha von Suttner.
G Alfred Nobel died in San Remo, Italy, on December 10, 1896. When his will was opened it came as a surprise that his fortune was to be used for Prizes in Physics, Chemistry Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Peace. The executors of his will were two young engineers, Ragnar Sohlman and Rudolf Liljequist They set about forming the Nobel Foundation as an organization to take care of the financial assets left by Nobel for this purpose and to coordinate the work of the Prize-Awarding Institutions. This was not without its difficulties since the will was contested by relatives and questioned by authorities in various counties.
H Alfred Nobel’s greatness lay in his ability to comine the penetrating mind of the scientist and inventor with the forward-looking danasi of the industrialist Nobel was very interested in social and peace-related issues and held what were considered radical views in his era. He had a great interest in literature and wrote his own poetry and dramatic works . the Nobel Prizes became an extension d a fulfilment of his lifetime interests.
