FAMOUS CZECH INVENTIONS, DISCOVERIES AND INNOVATIONS
LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR
It was invented by Prokop Diviš who devoted himself to the idea of manufacturing a machine that
would harness accumulated electric charge from storm clouds. The first earth-connected lightning
conductor in the world was made by Diviš in the garden of Přímětice near Znojmo.
PILSNER
It is a bottom-fermented pale lager beer made according to the recipe of the city of Pilsen. It differs
from other beers primarily thanks to a more pronounced hoppy flavour. The first beer of this kind
was invented in 1839 by Josef Groll, a brewer of the Citizen’s Brewery in Pilsen.
SUGAR CUBE
The first sugar cube in the world was invented by Jakub Kryštof Rad who was a director of the Sugar
Refinery in Dačice; it was 1841 when he invented the sugar cube presser. Mass production started
in 1843 when the patent was approved and the license was granted for sugar cube production.
SCREW-PROPELLER
The screw-propeller was invented by the Czech constructor Josef Ludvík František Ressel who was
awarded a patent for this invention in 1827. He designed the screw-propeller’s optimal shape and
placed it horizontally under the stern in front of the rudder; therefore, the screw-propeller could be
used both on the sea and on rivers. This invention substituted the previous paddle mechanism used
in ship propulsion.
CZECH INVENTORS AND SCIENTISTS GAVE THE WORLD PLENTY OF INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS AND DISCOVERIES IN MANY FIELDS. SOME OF THOSE WE MENTION HERE HAVE BECOME THE WORLDWIDE BEST SELLERS AND ENTERED INTO OUR EVERY-DAY LIVES.

KAPLAN TURBINE
This is an invention by Professor Viktor Kaplan from 1913. It refers to a water turbine with adjustable
circulating blades. It is used in particular in places where is impossible to ensure permanent flow
or drift. Big Kaplan turbines are individually designed for each spot for operation with the highest
possible efficiency (usually more than 90%). Kaplan turbines are widely used in water power plants
worldwide.
CLASSIFICATION OF FOUR BLOOD-GROUPS
The four blood-groups were first identified by the Czech physician, neurologist and psychiatrist Jan
Janský in 1907. Jan Janský is considered to be the first scientist who classified blood into four types.
He did not label them with today’s designations (A, B, AB and 0) but assigned them Roman numerals
(I., II., III. and IV.). The classification of blood-groups in the system AB0 started to be used in the
1930s.
CONTACT LENSES
They were invented by the Czech chemist Otto Wichterle in 1961. He built his first “lense machine”
from parts of a Merkur building kit and a bicycle dynamo. A year later he manufactured around
5,000 lenses. In 1965 an American company called the National Patent Development Corporation
bought the licence for contact lenses production. Nowadays, contact lenses are used by millions of
people all around the world.
BLADELESS TURBINE
One of the most recent Czech inventions is the bladeless (rolling) turbine. The creator is Associate
Professor Miroslav Sedláček from the Czech Technical University (ČVUT) who received a nomination
for the European Inventor Award 2016 in the “Research” category for his invention. The turbine has
many advantages. The most important one is the fact that it can handle different gradients. (It can
function with a gradient of 5 meters as well as one of 20 meters and more.) Turbine construction is
very simple, and efficiency is around 40-70 %. Thanks to this discovery half of the potential
hydro-energy which remains idle until now could be harnessed.

NANOSPIDERTM
This is a unique technology that makes possible the industrial production of unwoven textiles,
nano-fibres (textile with a diameter 20–500 nm). It is a technology that was created thanks to
the cooperation of Professor Jirsák´s team and the engineer Mareš. Nano-fibres may be used for
filtering in many sectors, such as medicine, the car industry, energy industry, building industry,
cosmetics, environmental protection, etc. Nano-fibres are globally recognised as materials of the third
millennium.
CZECH TRANSPLANTATION MEDICINE
Czech surgeons are at the top of European transplantation medicine. The first successful
transplantation was performed by the oculist Eduard Konrad Zirm in 1905 in Olomouc when he
made a successful transplantation of eye corneas. Bohdan Pomahač is currently a well-known
Czech plastic surgeon who specialises in face transplantation. With his team he performed the first
complete face transplant in the United States; this surgery was simultaneously the third complete
face transplant in the world.

BRANCHES OF INDUSTRY
CAR INDUSTRY
The Czech car industry is among the most developed branches in the region of Central and Eastern
Europe. A particularly long-established tradition, broad supplier base and technical know-how
have contributed to this success. More than 1.4 million road cars were manufactured in 2018 in the
Czech Republic. Three producers – ŠKODA AUTO (61.6 %), HMMC (23.7 %) and TPCA Czech (14.7%)
– contribute a significant share to the overall production of cars. The car industry also represents
a significant portion of the overall production of the Czech Republic, accounting for almost a quarter
of it as well as the same share of exports, too. 2018 was also exceptional due to the production
of buses, of which more than 4,890 were manufactured. The largest bus producers are IVECO
Czech Republic and SOR Libchavy. Other sectors are connected with the car industry, including the
production of car bodies, frames and engines as well as the electric industry and textile industry
(supply of baby car-seat covers and inside padding).

AVIATION INDUSTRY
The aviation industry of the Czech Republic focuses on two main activities. First of all, there
is the production of complete aircrafts. It includes smaller aircrafts for local and regional
transport, training and light combat aircrafts, sport and agriculture aircrafts, ultralight aircrafts
and gliders. AERO Vodochody AEROSPACE, ZLIN AIRCRAFT and Aircraft Industries are among
the main producers in this category. The Czech Republic is a world-class producer of ultralight
aircrafts. A quarter of ultralight aircrafts sold in the world have been produced in the Czech
Republic. Manufacturers include companies such as TL-ULTRALIGHT, ATEC and JMB Aircraft. The
second segment of the aviation industry is the production of components for large transport
and military aircrafts and helicopters. Czech companies supply their compounds to global aircraft
producers, such as Airbus, Boeing, Embraer, Bombardier and the helicopter producer Sikorsky.
Other subcontracts are transferred to producers of military aircrafts, CASA and Eurofighter.
Czech companies also rank among the world leaders in aircraft safety systems – i. e. STRATOS 07
and GALAXY HOLDING.
ENGINEERING INDUSTRY
Engineering forms the backbone of the Czech economy and its manufacturing base is made up of
about 70,000 companies (including metal production, foundry, electronics, machinery, production
of motor vehicles and other means of transport). These companies are especially involved in the
field of energy engineering, transport engineering, production of machining and shaping tools,
metallurgy and production of structures and metal components. Czech engineering companies
supply complete industrial equipment – i.e. turbines, machining and shaping tools,
air-conditioning equipment, building machines, agriculture machines and food processing
machines. ŠKODA TRANSPORTATION (transport engineering), VÍTKOVICE MACHINERY GROUP,
BONATRANS GROUP, ČKD BLANSKO HOLDING, TOS Varnsdorf, TAJMAC-ZPS, TŘINECKÉ
ŽELEZÁRNY, První brněnská strojírna, Wikov Industry and others are among the most significant
Czech producers. The Czech Republic exports almost 90% of its engineering production, especially
to EU countries, whereas its presence has also been consolidated in the Asian and Latin American
markets. Production shows growth also due to new technologies, such as nanotechnologies,
sophisticated electronics, automated systems and mechatronics.

products (MADETA, OLMA, Mlékárna Hlinsko, etc.) and the production of mill and starch products
(PENAM, Krnovská Škrobárna, Amylon, GoodMills, etc.). In the field of beverages the main sectors
are brewing (Plzeňský Prazdroj, Pivovary Staropramen, Budějovický Budvar, Pivovar Svijany, Rodinný
pivovar Bernard, etc.), production of mineral water and soft drinks (Poděbradka, Hanácká Kyselka,
Karlovarské minerální vody, etc.) distilleries (Jan Becher – Karlovarská Becherovka, RUDOLF JELÍNEK,
STOCK PLZEŇ - BOŽKOV, etc.) and viticulture (BOHEMIA SEKT, ZNOVÍN ZNOJMO, Vinné sklepy Valtice,
VINSELEKT MICHLOVSKÝ, etc.).
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
The Czech Republic has many very talented designers who succeed both at home and abroad.
Among these are Jiří Pelcl, Rony Plesl, Jan Kaplický or Bořek Šípek. There is also a growing number
of companies that make an effort to strengthen their competitiveness through design and cooperate
with a designer to discover a new inspirational view into both existing and the latest production.
Meanwhile in the past, design used to be linked with the fashion industry and luxury goods.
Nowadays, it asserts itself increasingly in all branches of industry, including engineering. Many
Czech companies, by far not only the large, have adopted cooperation with a designer into their
business and marketing strategies. For instance, companies like SITUS furniture, JELÍNEK – furniture
production, brands BOMMA and Brokis succeed in the sector of interior design. Due to design,
producers of town furniture mmcité or sanitary beds by LINET are successful all over the world as
well. The quality of Czech industrial design is confirmed by the Red Dot Award for designer Martin
Tvarůžek who designed a machining tool for the production of the Škoda Machine Tool.
