The word “thermos” is of Greek origin and means “warm”, “hot”. The phrases thermal baths, thermal source reflect the immediate semantic load of the word - a place with high temperature.
The history of the thermos
For hundreds of years, people have been trying to find a way to keep food and drink warm, but the problem has not been solved for a long time. It turned out to be much easier to learn how to keep food in the cold than in the heat. Finally, in the 90s of the XIX century, the scientist Sir James Dewar first showed the public a special vessel. The vessel was unusual in that it consisted of double walls between which there was a vacuum space. It was the absence of air that led to the fact that the internal content ceased to be dependent on the temperature of the external walls. As a result, the liquid did not come into contact with the outer walls of the vessel, and there was nothing to give / conduct heat to. The temperature of the water in the vessel remained unchanged for some time. D. Dewar did not suspect that his discovery could be used in everyday life, and even more so he did not assume that it was of commercial interest. Therefore, at the very beginning of the twentieth century, Reynold Berger registered the rights to use an unusual heat-preserving vessel and organized a company for the production of the first thermoses.
A century has passed since then. And today, no family can imagine life without such unique dishes. A thermos is widely used in everyday life for food or drinks. He will brighten up your trip with a sip of fragrant tea, and while fishing and camping he will delight you with a home dinner.
