Nicholas A. Florin born August tupper ware 1 (July 19) in 1891 temporarily located tupper ware in Batumi (Georgia) noble family civil engineer Anatoly Viktorovich Florine (1856-1936) and Love Tarasova (?) (1862-1935). Nikolai had a sister Olga (born 1893) and his brother Victor (born 1899), who later became a major engineer Hydromechanics tupper ware in the USSR. In the early 20th century left Florine in St. Petersburg, where he studied mathematics Nicholas at the St. Petersburg Institute of Communications, and then there was a laboratory assistant and later a teacher, preparing to receive the title of professor, tupper ware led by SP Tymoshenko. In 1910 together with his father Nicholas attends the World Exhibition in Brussels. In 1914, the First World, Florin entered military service and from May to October 1916 he served as a platoon commander in the 33th Artillery tupper ware Brigade. However, because of his skill was soon recalled from the front and began working as a technician in the Office of the Military Committee of the Air Force, which was led by Dmitry Yakovlev (then become a professor of the University of Liege). In 1917 he received the title podporutchika. After the 1917 revolution Florin leaves for Germany, but decided to return to the Soviet Union and, according to available information, the Air Force is working with the new government, which, however, is set in the negative. In August 1919, went to the White Movement, after the defeat which Florine had to flee to Finland. In 1920 his application for asylum, filed out of the refugee camps in Helsinki in 26 embassies, satisfy the United tupper ware States and Belgium, and Florin tupper ware selects Belgium.
At the new place Nicholas settled in the area of Saint-Gilles in Brussels. Its preparation and ideas impressed the Belgian side, and Florin began working in aviation management, located in the building of the Mint, where mathematically described aerodynamic phenomena being published in the specialized literature. December 3, 1926, he patented a scheme "multirotornogo" helicopter, known as a "scheme of Florina." All designers used to create machines tupper ware with one screw, and using two screws they could be made smaller diameter, but then had to raspolagast screws in pairs for mutual balancing of reactive moments with gyroscopic moments screws mutually destroyed. Florin proposed to solve this problem by installing any number of rotating in one direction of the rotors with a slope (10 degrees) in the side of their axes. Arising from this horizontal components rods rotors had to balance their reaction torques. Gyroscopic moments retained. Below is a video in 1933 with the launch of the car Florina. tupper ware
In the same 1926 he was instructed to create tupper ware an aerodynamic center in the suburbs of Brussels. tupper ware From 1927 the National Society for the Study of Air Transport (SNETA) financed development Florina, who built the first in Belgium and the world twin-screw helicopter in 1929. Flights enhanced version of Type II with 240 CV engine Renard began April 12, 1933, and October 25 of the same year pilot Robert Collin in the village tupper ware Forêt de Hêtres Florina on the unit stayed in the air 9 minutes and 58 seconds broke the record machine created by the Italian tupper ware engineer Ascanio. A few months later when you try to beat the altitude record (18 feet) Florine helicopter tupper ware lost his balance and fell, but thanks to good protection Colleen pilot was unharmed. Florin continued research, which resulted in two more cars in the prewar and postwar years, but despite the broken record and an original and innovative idea with two screws and their location, the unit receives a not too reliable, stable and manageable. Parallel Florin worked on the project quadrocopter (chetyrehrotorny helicopter). For further research needed funds that in the postwar period has been difficult to find in Belgium, and projects stalled.
Nicholas Florin meanwhile, received Belgian citizenship (1934), continued to work as a functionary in the ministry, retiring tupper ware in 1956. In addition to contributions to aeronautics Tanner, keen photographer, and even invented the system of three lenses, each of which was paired with a special tupper ware filter, tupper ware allowing the image to impose on each other, achieving the effect of 3D. European helicopter pioneer died Nicholas A. Florin January 21, 1972 in Brussels, his descendants are now living in Belgium.
