Innovate, invent and devise. For thousands of years, people have attempted to search the secret of luxury, wanting to change the world. They tried to invent new gadgets and innovated new idea, but few succeeded. Gunpowder In the old days, the outcomes of battle were often depending on the numbers and strenght of the soilders and the strenght of the castle wall. Castle wall structures were almost impossible to bring down . Rocks were catapulted at the castles, tunnels were dug under the walls and
A gear is a wheel with a teeth around its edges. The teeth on the gear prevents slippage and determines the ratio of a gear. The idea of a gear is to transmit rotary motion and force. The first gear was in invented by Archimedes. Archimedes was a mathematician and inventor. He used gears for making catapults and devices that raises water. Blasie Pascal is widely famous for developments in the fields of geometry, physics and computer science. One of his invention he is famous for the mechanical
HOW IT TICKS AND WHAT MAKES IT TOCK Introduction A grandfather clock (also called long or tall case clock) is a mechanical time keeping device that is freestanding and ranges from six to eight feet tall. These clocks can be weight or spring driven and works using the law of gravity. In weight driven models, a large pendulum (three to five feet long) hangs in the center and a system of weights is attached to the inside of the clock. Gravity causes the pendulum to constantly swing back and forth,
The medieval Islamic world of science started as a controversial field to be working in. The scientific practices went against the beliefs of the people because it stated things that were the opposite of the readings in the Koran. Religious peoples said that Allah created everything in existence himself while scientists said that everything occurred naturally. Even though there was conflict over the beliefs of the people, the Islamic scientists still managed to prosper and produce a Golden Age of
Galileo helped Mathmeticians with his dicoveries of physics! While Galileo's application of mathematics to experimental physics was innovative, his mathematical methods were the standard ones of the day. The analysis and proofs relied heavily on the Eudoxian theory of proportion, as set forth in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements. This theory had become available only a century before, thanks to accurate translations by Tartaglia and others; but by the end of Galileo's life it was being superseded
15.4 Starving- The assembly operator completes the work on current unit and starves for next unit work as it has not arrived yet at the station, this is called starving. Blocking- Blocking is where the operator completes the work but still couldn’t move on to the next unit as the worker is not ready to receive it. 15.7 The proportion of theoretical cycle time to actual average production time when downtime on hold is found the middle value of in is called Line efficiency. 15.9 Cycle time- The time
Have you ever wondered if there were any conflicts involved with the successes in the past? Many people think new findings as happy confrontations between the finder and his helpers. This is not always the case, and honestly, is usually never the case. There is almost always some sort of dispute among the finders of a new idea or object. One of the most famous instances of conflict is between two men known by the names Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke. Sir Isaac Newton is possibly the most well
His early life Robert Hooke was born on July 18th, 1635 in Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England. His father, John Hooke, was a clergyman. As a child Hooke became ill of smallpox, of which he survived from, only to be disfigured and scarred. Throughout his childhood, Robert never really received much of any regular schooling due to his sickness and weakness. On the other hand he had an amazing natural curiosity, which led to the development of his mind through self-learning. When Robert was merely thirteen
said to be the inventor of first clock, however various kinds of mechanical clocks were created by Muslim Engineers since the time of yore, a well-known watch maker Kutbi made the very first watch. In 15th century, Muslims also invented Mercury escapement clock which was copied by Europeans. Moreover water clocks, pendulum clocks, alarm clocks and astronomical clocks are also their inventions. Muslims used these clocks for observations and to determine their prayers timings. Submarine: First submarine
Albert Camus, a French author, composed widely renowned pieces of literature in which contributed to the rise of the absurdist philosophy, however, he often was associated as a proponent of existentialism. Published in 1942, “The Stranger” incorporates the absurdist perspective on humankind; Camus theorizes the meaninglessness of the surrounding world as absurd. The ridicule Camus introduces to societal aspects connotes his influential philosophy he establishes in the development of his characters
With a sarcastic, monstrous, and angry tone combined with high emotion and sentimentalism, Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote the short story The Yellow Wallpaper in order to help the oppressed females recover their voice, their rights, and their freedom. She skillfully leaded the reader’s interest from a little horrible opening; then, a curious feeling about Jane’s life immediately became anger because of the unexpected climax of the narrator’s own recognition in the yellow wallpaper. The author tried

What would the world do without time? A person’s life is developed around time, such as when someone eats, sleeps, or works. During the Age of Exploration, the explorers needed a time device that was advanced enough to be on a ship. If explorers did not have a way of measuring time, they would have no way of knowing when to go different directions and would have most likely become lost. The Age of Exploration lasted from the fourteenth century to the seventeenth century (Briney). Many geographical
Galileo Galileo was a teacher, astronomer, philosopher, and physicist and was known to be a major part of the scientific revolution. With all of his elaborate drawings and notes he has been referred to as the father of modern astronomy, father of modern physics, and as father of science. Galileo's experimentation was an active process involved the investigating of causal relationships among variables. His studies in scientific experimentation would quickly become and forever remain a cornerstone
The History of the Piano The piano has seen many sights and has been a part of countless important events in the past and present, and is said to have dominated music for the past 200 years (Welton). Throughout history, inventions come along that "take art away from princes and give it the people" (Swan 41). Not unlike the printing press, the piano made what was once intangible possible: the poorest of peasants could enjoy the same music that their beloved rulers did. The piano can
Is there a such thing of unjust, and just laws? If these unjust laws actually exist, should one disobey these laws if unjust. These questions can be applied to Socrates, a wise philosopher, who is on death row, for disobeying the law in the novel “Five Dialogues”. revised by John M. Cooper. Socrates believes that if he broke an unjust law, then one should still be penalized for these actions, even if that law that is being broken is considered unjust. Socrates would rather die than to actually escape
