Book Synopsis Science's Strangest Inventions by : Tom Quinn
Download or read book Science's Strangest Inventions written by Tom Quinn and published by Robson. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of science is littered with mad, bad and delightfully dotty inventions, from the bicycle that relied for its momentum on the rider waggling his head back and forth continually to the Improved Pneumatic Advertising Hat – a bowler that hurled a lit-up billboard into the air at the touch of a button – or the suitcase that turned into a small boat for the nervous ferry passenger. Here is the chance to sample, among other delights, Professor Ray's Nose Adjusting Machine, Admiral Popov's Circular Warship, The Perfect Sleeping Partner (a Japanese pillow shaped just like a man with an arm fitted at the right angle for a comforting cuddle) and last, but by no means least, Calantarient's Improved Dung Trap for Carriage Horses Employed by Ladies of Fashion and those of a Delicate Constitution.
Book Synopsis Inventions That Didn't Change the World by : Julie Halls
Download or read book Inventions That Didn't Change the World written by Julie Halls and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2014-12-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating, humorous, and downright perplexing selection of nineteenth-century inventions as revealed through remarkable–and hitherto unseen–illustrations from the British National Archive Inventions that Didn’t Change the World is a fascinating visual tour through some of the most bizarre inventions registered with the British authorities in the nineteenth century. In an era when Britain was the workshop of the world, design protection (nowadays patenting) was all the rage, and the apparently lenient approval process meant that all manner of bizarre curiosities were painstakingly recorded, in beautiful color illustrations and well-penned explanatory text, alongside the genuinely great inventions of the period. Irreverent commentary contextualizes each submission as well as taking a humorous view on how each has stood the test of time. This book introduces such gems as a ventilating top hat; an artificial leech; a design for an aerial machine adapted for the arctic regions; an anti-explosive alarm whistle; a tennis racket with ball-picker; and a currant-cleaning machine. Here is everything the end user could possibly require for a problem he never knew he had. Organized by area of application—industry, clothing, transportation, medical, health and safety, the home, and leisure—Inventions that Didn’t Change the World reveals the concerns of a bygone era giddy with the possibilities of a newly industrialized world.

Book Synopsis The Art of Invention by : Uwe Diegel
Download or read book The Art of Invention written by Uwe Diegel and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of invention and designEverything is invented and designed, one way or another. Some objects are designed well, while others are not; some are designed pretentiously, others unassumingly; some are designed to optimize materials and techniques, while others are wasteful. While some objects naturally attract our attention for their extraordinary character and desirability - an eccentric and expensive pair of sneakers, for instance, or a gleaming sports car - many others are so apparently ordinary as to go unnoticed. Every day we use dozens of them, from elastic bands to Band-Aids, erasers, and mascara wands. If they work well, chances are we won't pay them much attention. However, in spite of their modest price and demure presence, some of these things are true masterpieces of the art of design and deserve our unconditional admiration.Are all inventions essential or useful?Space has its urban legends of course, and the Million Dollar Space Pen is one of the more enduring ones. It is neither as outlandish nor as unbelievable as the story about faking the Moon landings, and even though it seems more credible than a massive government conspiracy, it is probable that fewer people have heard it.The story goes like this: in the 1960s, NASA astronauts discovered that their pens did not work in zero gravity. So like good engineers, they went to work and designed a wonder, million dollar pen. It worked upside down. It worked in vacuum. It worked in zero gravity. It even worked underwater! And it only cost a million dollars!At the same time, the Russians were ramping up their efforts to conquer space before the Americans, and they also realized that their normal pens did not work in space...So the crafty Russians used a pencil...Every now and then, people have ideas. Some of them are "Eureka" moments, a sudden illumination. A flash of imagination that drives progress forward. And often a patent is needed... A patent is defined as "a government authority or licence conferring a right or title for a set period, especially the sole right to exclude others from making, using, or selling an invention".Basically, in layman's terms, "I have to protect this before someone else has the idea and steals it from me !!!".Anything, from glasses for chickens, dog umbrellas, breast-shaped pillows to rooster-shaped airplanes can be patented, and has been. Here is a collection of some of the funniest, most ridiculous or even absurd patents deposed since the 31st of July 1790, when Samuel Hopkins was issued the world's first patent for a process of making potash, an ingredient used in fertilizer.
