Engineers Who Have Changed The World
Let us make a collection of the names of Engineers who have changed the world.
I will start with a few names:
1. Archimedes.
He was a mechanical engineer in ancient Greece. He invented the Antikythera mechanism, called the first mechanical computer, but most importantly for history, he figured out how to use epicyclic gearing (which would come in handy for trains in the Industrial Revolution).
2. Leonardo DaVinci
He was not only an artist, but also an engineer, creating drawings of flying contraptions that would inspire generations of scientists after him.
I had written an article about him here: #-Link-Snipped-#
3. Thomas Savery
He was an early mechanical engineer, built the first steam engine in 1698. But that idea literally didn’t go anywhere until around 200 years later.
4. Alessandro Volta experimented with Electrical engineering in the 1800s, creating the first electric cell called the Volt.
