Petrache Poenaru was born on 10th January 1799 in Beneşti, Vâlcea county. He was a teacher, inventor, engineer and Romanian mathematician, member of the Romanian Academy.

He was one of the Romanian scientists not so well known, but unquestionable, with a big contribution to the humanity. In the history of universal invention, Petrache Poenaru is known to be the creator of the first fountain pen, known at the time as the "stylograph".

At only 28 years, Petrache Poenaru patented the world's first pen of water, first in Vienna, then in Paris in 1827 (when he was a student), titled "Endless Portraits, feeding himself with ink" becoming the holder of the first patent obtained by a Romanian.

The patent of invention shows not only the inventive spirit of the Romanian student, but also the originality of the concept, as simple as practical. Petrache Poenaru's invention revolutionized the field of writing tools, thus contributing to the creation of an object that is still used by billions of people today.

What is so amazing about Steemit is that I can find something every couple minutes that I’ve never heard about..or even thought of. I never thought that I’d be reading about the creator of the first fountain pen today..but I did and I enjoyed it! This was super cool my friend!
