Lewis Nixon did not invent sonar. Sonar was actually invented by Reginald Fessenden in 1913. Sonar stands for sound navigation and ranging, which is a technique that uses sound propagation to navigate, communicate with, or detect objects underwater.
The Sonar device was invented in 1906 by Lewis Nixon. -T
In 1915, Paul Langévin invented the first sonar type device for detecting submarines called an "echo location to detect submarines" using the piezoelectric properties of the quartz.

It was Lewis Nixon who invented the very first sonar-type listening device in 1906.
Sonar was gradually developed and improved over many years, but the first operational form of sonar as we now know it goes back to about 1918.
bats have the most efficient sonar system, although dolphins come pretty close
The 1925 Meteor Sonar was invented by Albert Beaumont Wood, a British engineer and inventor. His work with sonar technology significantly contributed to advancements in underwater acoustics during that time.
I believe that Lewis Nixon was 45 when he invented sonar. He was born in 1861. Kelly Nixon Mayr
A Canadian inventor named Reginald Fessenden invented SONAR in the early 20th century.
The scientist who is credited with inventing sonar is Paul Langevin, a French physicist. In 1915, Langevin developed the first practical application of sonar as a way to detect submarines during World War I. His work laid the foundation for the use of sonar technology in various fields, including marine navigation and underwater exploration.
A submarine's sonar system can potentially harm marine life, but it is unlikely to be fatal to a person.
