life without the help of engineers

Life Without Engineering -




A life without engineering is like the life of prehistorical age...every thing is made by the science and engineering...and without them life is imposible..so thanks to engineers ...

some of the daily use engineering objects ...


Toaster
Toasting bread began as a method of prolonging the life of bread. The first electric toaster was released by the General Electric Company in the United States in 1909. The early toasters did not have a thermostat and the toast was often burnt. The problem was eased in 1919 when Charles Strite from Minnesota in the United States developed the pop-up toaster as we know it today. It was first sold in the USA in 1926.
What type of engineering does a toaster involve? Electrical engineering.


Range Vent
An everyday task like cooking can produce odors, water vapor, and other potential irritants like grease and smoke that are hazardous for your health. Kitchen exhaust is best accomplished by an overhead hood, because hot air rises.
What type of engineering does a range vent involve? Mechanical engineering.



Oven
The oven was accidentally discovered by Percy Spencer while testing out a new vacuum tube.
What type of engineering does an oven involve? Electrical engineering.



Stove
The first historical record of a stove being built refers to a stove built in 1490, in Alsace, France. This stove was made entirely of brick and tile, including the flue.
What type of engineering does a stove involve? Mechanical and electrical engineering.



Blender
The blender with the spinning blade at the bottom was originally invented by Stephen J. Poplawski in 1922.
What type of engineering does a blender involve? Mechanical and electrical engineering.



Wine Glass
A team at the Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories (MERL) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, designed the iGlassware system, which signals staff when you are ready for a refill. It uses an adaptation of the radio frequency identification (RFID) tag technology that is used to stop people stealing goods from shops.
What type of engineering do glasses involve? Mechanical and chemical engineering.



Trash Can
Lillian Moller Gilbreth (1878-1972), the mother of 12 children, had good reason to improve the efficiency and convenience of household items. A pioneer in ergonomics, Gilbreth patented many devices, including an electric food mixer, and the trash can with step-on lid-opener that can be found in most households today.
What type of engineering does a trash can involve? Mechanical and chemical engineering.



Cabinet
The two dimensional drawings on paper are converted using Computer Aided Drafting software (CAD) to the actual product to be built. Very precise measurements are made perfectly using the help of a computer.
What type of engineering does a cabinet involve? Mechanical engineering.



Pill Bottle Label
A technology that is being tested at a VA facility in Chicago will provide a talking label for medication containers. ScripTalk(TM) is a handheld device that will read the label information on prescription labels that have a specialty imbedded microchip. This type of technology will be of great help to those who are visually impaired.
What type of engineering does a pill bottle involve? Chemical engineering.



Frying Pan
The frying-pan engineers added a sticky molecule to the non-stick molecule to get non-stick coating to stick to the pans surface. Non-stick was now applied in coats, with the bottom coat containing the sticky additive that held to both the metal pan and the non-stick molecules. A coat of non-sticky non-stick went over that, non-stick and non-stick clinging together lovingly. A final non-stick layer, spiked with teensy bits of ceramic or other tougheners, protected the softer guts.
What type of engineering does a pan involve? Chemical engineering.



Fork
Kitchen forks trace their origins back to the time of the Greeks. These forks were fairly large with two tines that aided in the carving and serving of meat. The tines prevented meat from twisting or moving during carving and allowed food to slide off more easily than it would with a knife. In late 17th Century France, larger forks with four curved tines were developed. The additional tines made diners less likely to drop food, and the curved tines served as a scoop so people did not have to constantly switch to a spoon while eating.
What type of engineering does a fork involve? Chemical engineering.



Counter top
Kitchen counter tops serve double duty as both design elements and as suitable work surfaces. There are different types of counter tops. Laminate, Synthetic solid surface, stone and ceramic tiles counter tops are among the few. "Green" counter tops - Counter Production, in Berkeley, manufactures counter tops called "Vetrazzo" made from recycled glass and cast concrete. The final product contains 80 to 95% post-consumer recycled content.
What type of engineering does a counter top involve? Chemical engineering.



Faucet

The single-handled faucet has been listed as one of the top 100 mass-produced objects of the century - right along side Henry Ford's Model-T. The impetus to invent this faucet came from an accident. In 1937 Alfred Moen worked part time in an auto garage to earn money for engineering school. Late one night, tired and ready to go home, Moen stopped to wash his hands in a sink with the usual two-handle faucet. Moen turned the wrong handle, creating a burst of hot water, and burned his hands. This gave the budding mechanical engineer his lifetime passion: the perfect faucet.
What type of engineering does a faucet involve? Civil and mechanical engineering.



Windowblind
Smart windows are exciting, cutting-edge window technology that allows consumers to block either all light or just some by simply turning a knob or pressing a button.
What type of engineering do window blinds involve? Mechanical and electrical engineering.



Running water

Drinking water comes from lakes and streams. It is treated in a water treatment plant to remove sediment (by filtration and/or settling) and bacteria (typically with ozone, ultraviolet light and chlorine). The output from the water treatment plant is clear, germ-free water that is pumped to your tap.
What type of engineering does running water involve? Civil engineering.



Dishwasher
The first dishwasher was invented in America in 1850. Joel Houghton patented a wooden machine with a hand-turned wheel that splashed water on dishes, it was hardly a workable machine, but it was the first patent. New designs for in sink dishwashers are now available. These new dishwashers are the size of a deep sink; use half the water and time of a regular dishwasher, and save cabinet space.
What type of engineering does a dishwasher involve? Mechanical engineering.



Chips
Mechanical engineers working for Procter and Gamble designed the Pringles chip container just big enough for the chips, but small enough to not waste packaging materials. Chemical engineers perfect the many different flavors used in processed foods.
What type of engineering does a bag of chips involve? Mechanical and chemical engineering.



Liquid Soap
William Shepphard patented liquid soap on August 22, 1865.
What type of engineering does soap involve? Chemical engineering.



Microwave
The idea for using microwaves to cook food was discovered by Percy Spencer who was working for Raytheon and was building magnetrons for radar sets. One day he was working on an active radar set when he had noticed a sudden and strange sensation, and saw that a chocolate bar he had in his pocket had melted. The holder of 120 patents, Percy was no stranger to discovery and experiment, and realized what was happening. The first food to be deliberately cooked with microwaves was popcorn, and the second was an egg (which exploded in the face of one of the experimenters). In 1946 Raytheon patented the microwave cooking process and in 1947, they built the first commercial microwave oven, the Radarange.
What type of engineering does a microwave involve? Electrical and mechanical engineering.



Refrigerator
The first mechanic refrigerator was invented by Dr. John Gorrie of Apalachicola in Florida in 1851. The first electric refrigerators were sold to Americans in 1916, at a cost of $900.
What type of engineering does a refrigerator involve? Electrical and mechanical engineering.



Tile
The mechanically formed tile was invented in France in 1835 by two brothers, Joseph and Xavier Gilardon. The vivid colors of the first models, as well as the diamond patterns and ribbing used as decorations, were severely criticized.
What type of engineering does a tile involve? Chemical, mechanical, and ceramic engineering.




Light Bulb
The electric light was invented in 1879 simultaneously by Thomas Alva Edison in the United States and Sir Joseph Wilson Swan in England.
What type of engineering does a light bulb involve? Electrical engineering.
