How does a helicopters rotor blades make the helicopter turn left and right?
By adjusting the speed of tail rotor, which points to the side, the pilot can turn the helicopter in flight. The main upper rotor actually plays only a minor part in making helicopter turn. The part supplying most of the control is the tail rotor. Because the main rotor is spinning in one direction, without a tail rotor, the body of the helicopter would spin around in circles in the opposite direction. The reason for this is explained in the first part of Newton's third law of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite action. The torque generated to make the rotor turn also exerts torque on the body of the helicopter "willing" it to spin the opposite direction. However, the tail rotor spins, pushing air to the side. This creates force in the opposite direction, keeping the helicopter stable. By simply adjusting the speed of the tail rotor, the helicopter can be turned in flight.
How does the twin engine on the helicopter work?

Why was the helicopter invented by Igor Sikorsky?
Igor Sikorsky was one of many helicopter inventors. He was the one who invented a helicopter that used a tail rotor to counteract the thrust of the main rotor, and he was able to build one with a strong enough engine, an efficient enough rotor, and a light enough airframe. So his helicopter became the first successful commercially produced helicopter.
