INVENTIONS

Mr Perzy I was born in Austria. He was a surgical instruments mechanic and accidentally created the first Snow Globe in 1900 when he was doing an experiment to try to improve the brightness of the electric light bulb.

The Snow GLOBE is a transparent sphere, usually made of glass, with a decoration inside. The sphere has water in the globe and white plastic; the water causes the "snow" to fall when we shake the sphere.

Jean-Joseph Merlin was born in 1735 in Belgium. He was a watchmaker. he worked in Paris where he demonstrated his mechanical genius. He moved to England in 1760. One day he entered a party with small wheels underfoot while playing the violin, that ended with him smashed into an expensive mirror.

The first skates were two wheels aligned in the central part and were fastened to the foot by means of a type of lace. Skates are an invention to be able to skate, do races, tricks, slide, but of course you have to know. There are many types of skates, for example speed, artistic, for a walk, etc. Each one with its characteristics, for example, speed is harder to pick up a lot of speed, the artistic ones are a way to be able to do tricks ect.

Rasmus Malling-Hansen was born in 1835 in Lolland and died in 1890 in Copenhagen. He was a Danish inventor, preacher and director of the Royal Institute for the Deaf in Copenhagen. He is the inventor of Hansen's writing ball. Malling-Hansen is famous for inventing the first commercially produced typewriter.

The Hansen Writing Ball is an early typewriter. It was invented in 1865 and patented and put into production in 1870, and was the first commercially produced typewriter. The Hansen ball was a combination of unusual design and ergonomics innovations: its distinctive feature was an arrangement of 52 keys on a large brass hemisphere, causing the machine to resemble an oversized pincushion.

joseph-Michael and Jacques-Etienne Montgolfier were born in Annonay, France Their first successful experiment took place in 1782. In June 1783, they raised a paper-lined cloth balloon to 1,800 m at Annonay. In September 1783 they showed their balloon to King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette.

The hot air balloon is an invention that allows us to fly. It consists of a large bag that holds the air inside, and a basket that is under the bag. It works by putting fire under a large round cloth and waiting for it to fly.

Archimedes was born in Syracuse in 287 B.C. He was a Greek mathematician, physicist, engineer and great inventor. He is considered one of the greatest mathematicians of all time. He died in 212. Archimedes was killed by a Roman legionnarie in Syracuse.

The Archimedean Screw is one of the earliest hydraulic machines. It is a machine used to lift liquids. the screw rotates on its axis causing the liquid to rise inside the tube. The screw was used predominantly for the transport of water to irrigation systems.

James Martin was born in Ireland in 1893. He was brillant engineer who, with Captain Valentine Baker, founded the Martin-Baker aircraft company, which is now a leading producer of ejection seats for aircraft. James Martin is mostly recognised for the invention of the ejector seat for aircrafts but, he also invented bicycles with rain-proof hoods, tool sharpeners, three wheeled cars,...

There were earlier versions of ejection seats, but it was Sir James Martin's invention that made pilots eject from fast-moving planes. The first test of its ejector seat was in July 1946 and was successful. An explosion blew up the cockpit and a second explosion pushed the pilot out of the plane allowing him to parachute to safety.

The nautical astrolabe is a portuguese invention that allowed the sailors to determinate the ship's latitude. One could also measure the meridial altitude of a star, if they knew its declination.

Theodor V. Ionescu was born in Romania in 1899 and died in 1988, he made discoveries in the physics of plasma, the ionosphere and the Zeeman effect. There are several versions about the invention of 3D cinema. It seems that the 3D cinema has its roots in Theodor Ionescu's patent for 3D images in film and television in 1936. Although 3D images were invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone, it was Ionescu who adapted them for film and television.

3D movies are filmed with at least two cameras that capture the images at the same time, so that when these two movies are projected at the same time and thanks to the glasses, the brain interprets them and the three-dimensional effect is achieved.

Isaac Peral was born in Cartagena (Spain) on June 1, 1851 and died in Berlin (Germany) on May 22, 1895. He was a Spanish scientist, sailor and soldier, Navy lieutenant and inventor of the first electric and functional submarine, known as the Peral Submarine.

The submarine is like a ship that can go under the water. To be able to submerge, the tanks are filled with water, so that the density of the submarine is bigger than that of the water, and makes it sink. Once the submarine is under water, the compressed air is activated to be able to be inside it.

Alexander Samuelson was born on January 4, 1862 in Sweden. He was a glass engineer. He went to E.E.U.U. in 1883. He designed the famous Coca Cola bottle in 1915. He died in 1934.

The bottle of Coca Cola is among the most recognisable designs in the world. The genious of the bottle was that it was easy to hold, had a distinctive look and that the glass did not break when the bottle dropped. Initially, the bottle was made in a blue, green and transparent variant.
