The odometer is a device that attached near the wheels of carriage. The purpose of the odometer is to determine the distance that the carriage traveled. Before you can use it you would have to figure out what the circumference of the carriage's wheels and the number of revolutions it takes for a wheel of the carriage to travel one mile. Benjamin Franklin invented the odometer because he was wondering the distance he was traveling in his carriage between Philadelphia and Boston.
I am originally from a small city in the middle of Florida named Ocala. It is a family friendly city locate approximately an hour away from the beach both on the East or the West side of Florida. I spent my first eight years growing up playing on the beaches, catching lizards, and going over to friend's houses. Ocala has a strong sense of Southern hospitality and the mindset that you should always help your neighbors. Growing up in this community taught me a lot about being polite to your elders, caring about everyone, to listen the first time, and how to cook some of the best cobbler ever. I'm very proud of being raised with Southern mannerisms that set me apart for the current trend of people who only thinking about themselves. I'm thankful
He used a hand bearing compass, pointed at a lighthouse or some other landmark and looked across the lubber’s line into the bowl, taking bearings of two or more objects, and reading the direction or bearing of that object, off of the compass. Then, he plotted them onto his chart. Where the lines crossed, was where he was. It was that simple. The GPS was for his clients. It made them feel better, not him.
My spouse was traveling on Highway 68. There was a company called H Ray LLC mowing the side of the road. As my spouse drove, a rock flew out of the mower and hit the vehicle. There is damage to the driver's side door. The third party company is accepting responsibility for the damages to the vehicle.
The meter was the idea of Carlton C. Magee, a local publisher and Room of the buying and selling of goods Traffic Committee chief, and he hoped it would solve the city's long-lasting parking problems. In the perimeter days, police would drive around with stopwatches and chalk, enforcing the city's parking time limits by marking the tires of cars seen squatting for too long, but the system was unprepared to handle the "commonly found in that place overparking" problem. Even worse, a survey found that at any given time, 80 percent of the city's spots were occupied by workers of downtown businesses--the very same businesses complaining that don't have of parking was driving away shoppers. Calling for an "producing a lot with very little waste, fair and unprejudiced, and completely practical aid to parking regulation," Magee held a student-design contest and launched his tool or object used to do work or measure something
Magnetic Compass, one key fact about this invention is that this was used by traders so they wouldn’t get lost in places like the silk road.
During the war, battles would continue into night but tended to be quite unproductive as you could not see where you were shooting. Tracer bullets were originally invented in 1915 as a way to create light while fighting late at night but the light trail was “erratic” and only lasted 100 meters. Finally in 1916, the .303 SPG Mark VIIG tracer bullets were invented. This version emitted a much brighter, green-white trail and was a great success during nighttime battles. One thing the British did not expect was for the trail to be flammable, this tracer bullet
He made many important discoveries and advancements. Most people warmed their homes by building a fire in a fireplace even though it was dangerous and required a lot of wood in the colonial times. Mr. Franklin thought that there had to be more efficient way. So he invented an iron furnace stove allowed people to warm their homes more carefully and without using as much wood. Ben Franklin became a postmaster of Philadelphia in 1737 and he needed a way design out routes for delivering the mail. He took a ride in his carriage to figure out the routes and needed a way to track of the distance. He then invented a odometer and mounted it to his carriage. With his genius for the practical, Mr. Franklin created a multitude of inventions, including
He invented more than a dozen devices to improve electric railway cars and many more for controlling the flow of electricity. His most famous invention was an invention used to let the engineer know how close the train was to other trains which helped cut down many accidents on the train tracks. (Bellis n.d.)
Students in classrooms all over the world read the Odyssey by Homer. The Odyssey is an epic poem that tells the story of Odysseus' adventurous journey back to his home in Ithaca. Some students complain that the Odysseus is boring and outdated, however it is an important piece of literature. The Odyssey is worth reading because the Odyssey teaches us about Greek mythology and it teaches us not to give up hope even in the face of death.
The device from Germany seemed to be very fit for measuring in smaller intervals. On this particular odometer, only one gear is visible suggesting that there was a number of teeth exactly equivalent to the number of rotations needed. In more complex examples, multiple gears are used to measure exponentially larger distances. The device itself seems out of place as the rod itself measures at about 3.5 feet and yet to few gears exist for this to measure long distances. In more advanced versions multiple gears were used to drop pebbles into a bucket for every mile traveled. The Roman example, unlike the German one was more fit for vehicle use, but contained a few key flaws. With a need for a large number of teeth, the device was very particular and would often malfunction with gear displacement. While the process did work in many instances, the device would often fail. In the engineering society varying designs were found to either increase or decrease the number of necessary teeth per gear. In the
How many 16ths of an inch are in a mile? How many fluid ounces in a cubic inch? What is the conversion factor between degrees celsius and degrees Fahrenheit? These are some of the terrible questions that plague only the minds of people in three countries in the world: the United States of America, Myanmar, and Liberia. All 193 of the other countries in the world use the metric system. The United States of America should convert to the metric system because of the following reasons: it is the global and scientific standard, it is much easier to use, not using it causes US consumers and businesses to lose money, and our lack of familiarity with it is part of the reason why our students lag so far behind much of the rest of the world in STEM
Another great invention of transportation during this time was the train. America’s first train was invented by George Stephenson in 1822, and by 1825 the train was the first locomotive. Obviously everything at this time was made by hand, and every part of this engine had to be hammered into shape just like a horseshoe. John Thorswall, a coalmine blacksmith, was George’s assistant. The invention of George was very important in America because it allowed transportation from place to place in a quicker time. This boosted the economy by helping distribute many goods all around the country. Even letters were being delivered faster, so communication was increasing.
Thesis: Kepler student should spend 30 minutes of their day reading for pleasure instead of studying, because they will get inspired and it help them to became as smatter as possible, and they learn new vocabularies.
The X-ring tracking system is a device used by consumers for convenience and security. There is a large segmentation and target market involved and the product has an adequate opportunity to expand into larger segments. For now however, the X-ring tracker targets one main group and that is graduating students from Saint Francis Xavier University. There are other segments but the graduating class is by far the largest. These students will be targeted with the idea to help them protect and lose the chance of misplacing their x-ring. The tracker leads to differentiation because the tracker offers a superior customer value and gives the students the clarity of always being able to recover their x-ring. The x-ring tracker will position itself in the minds of many of these students because it is appealing to the young demographic, which is known for losing items. The x-ring is an expensive item and having the certainty of always knowing where it is will appeal to many students. This clear and distinctive marketing idea will stay fresh in the minds of the target market and will be chosen before competing products (normal x-rings). Through the same technologies of Tile (a product used to find everyday items) and RFID chips the x-ring tracker involves a vast want of what people are looking for. Tile and RFID chips will be explained in the following paper. Overall the x-ring tracker appeals to a large segment of the market and
By defining a journey with noticeable locations along a route you are familiar with. Also, like with any journey, you need to have a fixed beginning point. This in turns acts a guide, which reveals anything else also related to this particular place, thing or point. As far as use today, the method is mainly used by people such as experts, performers, and on places like TV or on stage. It's also used recreationaly in things like competitions.
