2020年3月27日 · Lewis Nixon invented the very first Sonar type listening device in 1906 as a way of detecting icebergs. Interest in Sonar increased during World War I when there was a need to be able to detect submarines.

One of the earliest SONAR-like devices was invented by naval architect Lewis Nixon in 1906. It was designed to detect icebergs underwater to help ships navigate around them. This detection system became more important after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.

2023年10月1日 · In 1906, Lewis Nixon invented the first sonar-type listening device to detect icebergs. Years later, Sound Navigation and Ranging (SONAR) became a staple in naval military warfare for its...

There are two kinds of sonar, active and passive. In 1906, Lewis Nixon invented the very first sonar-type listening device, as a way of detecting icebergs. During World War I, with the need to detect submarines, interest in sonar increased.

2024年4月17日 · Lewis Nixon, a prominent American naval architect, marked a significant milestone in maritime safety with his invention of the first sonar-like device in 1906, primarily aimed at detecting...

Lewis Nixon invented the very first Sonar type listening device in 1906, as a way of detecting icebergs. Interest in Sonar was increased during World War I when there was a need to be able to detect submarines.

2019年6月3日 · As early as 1822, Daniel Crowden used an underwater clock to calculate the speed of underwater sounds at Lake Geneva, Switzerland. This early study led other inventors to invent a dedicated sonar device. In 1906, Lewis Nixon invented the first sonar-type listening device as a way to detect icebergs.

Sonar was developed in 1906 by Lewis Nixon as a way to detect icebergs and prevent disasters. It turned out to also be useful during World War I for detecting German submarines. By World War II, sonar was used to find subs and then fire depth charges at them.

In fact, he decided to test his first sonar-like object after the Titanic sank into the sea. Both he and Lewis Nixon became independently obsessed with finding a way to detect icebergs. In 1906, Nixon patented a method to find those sneaky icebergs.
