Inventors And Inventions : The Invention Of The Wheel

Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were two of the inventing world’s greatest minds in the 19th century. Their war over energy unleashed a new era upon the world, and changed the course of the 19th century. Tesla rivaled Edison with his new, but dangerous alternating current battle, but Edison’s refusal of change made the challenge difficult for Tesla. However, the two started their relationship as partners. Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla both revolutionized the world.

After many years of trial and error, a combination of inventors and engineers developed a practical, effective internal combustion engine that greatly affected the world. This paper will give opposing views on the background and analyze the effects it had on transportation and the environment.

“Today’s living feels like a struggle to survive”,” Money is always a big issue”,” I can’t study if I don’t have the money for it”. That was my way of thinking recently, but a month before this course commenced I started to think differently. I said to myself, “I need to look for more information on how to be able to pay for my studies”, “Student Loans might provide me with the money I need to start studying again”, “I’m going to apply for the President’s Scholarship, writing a 2 page essay explaining why I deserve that scholarship”. My new way of thinking about money brought me my most recent identity as a student in the International Academy of Design and Technology. Then I got my books, including Becoming a Master Student which made me realize even more the power of “Positive Thinking”. Now I know that money may be a primordial need but not an obstacle, that there are resources that can help me achieve my goals. Now I’m confident that by planning ahead and adding additional control to my personal finances I will be able to have enough money to complete my education.

This is Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison is a famous inventor who invented lots of things that we use today. He was born a very long time ago in the United States of America.

Walking, that’s the original mode of transportation. The only things that could be moved are the things that can be carried and the furthest part of the world was the furthest part a human could walk to. Then came sailboats and wheels and the world was drastically changed forever. Everything changed. No one could walk on water so sailboats were the first things used to travel the rest of the world. There was more land and more water than anyone man could walk to. Sailboats helped with that. When someone arrives in those places how is he or she supposed to carry everything? That is when the wheel became so important. People had carriages and wagons and animals to pull those things which are on wheels. The entire world changed as transportation

The Scientific Revolution was at its height during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries with many supporters and critics of the works of scientists. It was the transition from the medieval, philosophical and religious perspective to a secular and rational perspective. One of the biggest debates that defined the Scientific Revolution was the debate over whether the universe was geocentric (with the earth at the center of the universe), or heliocentric (with the earth revolving around the sun). The works of these scientists was influenced by political leaders for their desire in power, the clash of ideas between religious leaders and institutions, and differentiation towards female scientists and unorganization in research. In all, each of these three parts of society contributed to the Scientific Revolution in very important ways.

Barnet (1953) defines the invention as such “Any thought, behavior, or thing that is new because it is qualitatively different from existing forms. …every invention is an idea, or constellation of ideas; but some inventions by their nature must remain mental organizations only, whereas others may be given overt and tangible expression”

Inventions are devices made to help make life easier. Many people have made inventions even kids invent things two. With inventions you can express your creative ability. Its an amazing way to soak up your knowledge into something amazing.

The stories “The Veldt” and “Marionettes Inc.” in Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man show the many sides of technology. Bradbury makes it seem as if technology is an amazing thing towards the beginning of the story. In “The Veldt” Bradbury fascinates us with incredible technology. The children have a nursery that takes them to whatever place that they imagine. The children can play however they want without bothering the parents The entire house that they live does everything for them They don't have to do anything for themselves. In “Marionettes Inc.”, a new company has created automatons that look exactly like their client. Right down the exact way they smell. The idea of being in two different places at the same time through technology, is

The Industrial Revolution was a crucial time in world history. During the Industrial Revolution, many advanced ideas were just being invented and new materials were being discovered. The amount of employment went up. Children then had to work in dangerous conditions to help to support their families, and were useful because they could move in small spaces and could be paid less. Since then, child labor has been substantially reduced due to new laws and machines that were made to do the work children did (Child).

What happened to Chester Greenwood, George Washington Gale Ferris, and Lonnie Johnson when they had a meeting together? Chester Greenwood invented earmuffs. Earmuffs were used to keep people's ears warm, and the invention also inspired people to create Chester Greenwood Day. George Washington Gale Ferris invented the Ferris Wheel. The wheel was described as a “ Historic event and an experience never to be forgotten”. Lonnie Johnson invented the Super Soaker. Super Soakers were enjoyed by many people, and around 200 million Super Soakers were sold since they came on the market. These inventors had their different ways when they dealt with problems, victories, and how they felt when their ideas worked and were accepted, so it was interesting for them to have an imaginary meeting together.

How did people prior to the Reformation Period even believed in the Church, when the leaders (Pope, Archbishops) of the same religion they followed that idealized poverty in their preaching (pg. 167) lived humongous castles and lived a life of luxury? Why did it take so long for nations to separate themselves from the Church?

Before the 16th Century, potters would spin the wheel with their hands up to the desired speed. During the 1500’s, a shaft connects the wheel to a heavier disc below where one would use their foot to spin it up to a desired speed. The first versions the early kick wheels were made out of wood and the spinning mechanisms were mainly made from greased leather (History of Ceramics). This type of wheel throwing technique is referred to as momentum pottery, because of the spinning momentum of the wheel. As the momentum pottery wheel became more popular it needed to become more reliable. And so the materials they were constructed from soon upgraded. In the 19th century, pottery wheels started to be made from metal. The spinning mechanisms were mainly made from glass or even the modern roller bearings, similar to ones we have today (19th Century Pottery

The airplane is a very normal word today. But it is a new word at least a hundred years. Then I want to talk about airplanes’ history, airplanes’ companies, personal business, global trade, and the benefit for international students and traveling. In my view, those parts are very important about airplanes has changed people’s lives. A lot of people believe that airplanes bring many benefits to our life. I agree with this idea because airplanes are one of the greatest inventions of the twentieth century. So this article will talk about the airplanes.

If people are the same, can the creation of new inventions come into existence? How can society and individuals improve if there are no differences? In fact, innovation comes from the mind, but the uniqueness of people has led to these creations. Ever since the first incandescent lightbulb to the present age of rockets and computers, these inventions are what have helped society progress forward into a new era of life. However, how can people comprehend that a single person has created a complex innovation? To explain, a quote describing how to succeed in inventing while facing several obstacles is the analogy of “‘the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins, not through strength but by perseverance’” (“A quote by H. Jackson Brown Jr.”). Going into detail, to overcome an obstacle does not mean physical strength is necessary to succeed, but through mental qualities is where success truly appears. For instance, making mistakes on a test can motivate a person to persevere and improve on the exam. Nevertheless, its creation comes from individuals, but not all humans can invent a revolutionizing innovation. Why? The characteristics of a person are how an invention is born. Inventors, such as Thomas Edison, did not revolutionize the world by sheer strength, but by their mental capabilities to achieve what they wanted to present to the world. That is their persona. People’s persona shows the aspect of their character and the presentation of who they
