HEYA!!UR ANSWER IS THIS⤵️

SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT IT FOR CLEAR UNDERSTANDING:-)

Immanuel Nobel

Father of Alfred Nobel. Self-taught inventor and building contractor in Stockholm.

Immanuel Nobel grew up in a poor family who could not afford any formal education. His father taught him how to read and write. At the age of 14 he became a sailor. Exactly what Immanuel did after his return to Sweden at the age of 18 is not clear but somehow he got into the building industry.

After going bankrupt in 1833 he found it difficult to start a new business in Sweden. A few years later he left Sweden, going first to Finland, and then to St. Petersburg, Russia. There, he started a small mechanical workshop which soon expanded because of orders for military equipment from the Russian army.

He developed naval mines which played a role in the defense of Sveaborg (near Helsinki) and Kronstadt (near St. Petersburg) during the Crimean war of 1853-1856. Immanuel Nobel also invented machine tools for the mechanical industry and a system for central heating of buildings with radiators and hot water
