TIMES

2. 10. Alan Turing
INVENTIONS:-
Every time you use a computer, it
is in part because Alan Turing
made significant contributions to
make computing possible. Alan
Turing developed the binary
architecture now used in all
computers, as well as much of
the theory behind computers.
He is regarded by some as the
father of computer science. He is
also credited with breaking the
German Enigma code during
WWII, which made victory
possible. In the years following
the war he made numerous
contributions in software creation.
Time magazine named him as
one of the most important people
of the 20th century.
3. 9. Nicolaus Otto
INVENTIONS:-
Nicolaus Otto was a German inventor
credited with developing the four-stroke
or Otto-cycle engine which sparked the
development of the motor care. His
Otto-cycle engine worked in four steps;
drawing in fuel and air, compressing the
mixture, igniting it and expelling the
exhaust. This Otto-cycle is still used in
the internal combustion engines that run
all of our cars today.
4. 8. Nikola Tesla
INVENTIONS:-
Tesla moved to America in 1884 to work with
Thomas Edison, another remarkable
engineer. Within weeks of working for
Edison, he indicated that he could improve
the efficiency of the company’s generators
by 25%. Edison promised Tesla a $50,000
bonus if he achieved this feat. Within weeks
Tesla delivered on his promise – and Edison
reneged on his, telling young Tesla, “You
don’t understand our American humor.”
Every electrical engineer should have a
picture of Nikola tattooed somewhere on
their bodies. Maybe not a tattoo but at least
have a picture of him hanging in their office.
Tesla’s inventions make him arguably the
greatest electrical engineer of all time. His
inventions include fluorescent lighting, the
Tesla coil, the induction motor, and 3-phase
electricity. He developed the AC-current
generation system comprised of a motor
and a transformer.
5. 7. Archimedes
INVENTIONS:-
It was Archimedes who came up
with the simple yet clever idea of
determining an object’s volume by
measuring the amount of water
displaced by the object. Other
inventions credited to him include
the catapult, levers and pulleys,
and the Archimedean Screw, a
device used to raise water for
irrigation or mining. He also
calculated an approximation for pi
and developed many
mathematical insights without
which modern engineering would
be impossible.
6. 6. James Watt
INVENTIONS:-
James Watt was an enthusiastic inventor
whose improvement of the steam engine
sparked the Industrial Revolution. During
the 1760s he devoted most of his time to
improving the efficiency of steam engines.
The result was a machine that became very
popular that Watt is sometimes
mischaracterized as the inventor of the
steam engine. Watt’s many mechanical
advances earned him several patents, and
his engines were used for coal mining,
textile manufacturing, transportation and a
host of other industrial uses.
The watt unit of power is named after
James Watt. He is credited for measuring
the power of his steam engine: his test with
a strong horse resulted in his determination
that a “horsepower” was 550 foot-pounds
per second. Subsequent calculation by
Watt resulted in one horsepower equaling
746 watts.
7. 5. Hero of Alexandria
INVENTIONS:-
This man could have started the
Industrial Revolution in 50 AD with
the invention of the Aeolipile, a form
of steam or jet engine where jets of
steam spin a ball. However, he failed
to realize what the device could do,
and thought of it as nothing but a toy.
Some have speculated that the
abundance of slave labor negated
any need for a labor-saving device,
so no one applied his device in the
manner of the Industrial Revolution.
Hero also wrote many works on
subjects ranging from pneumatics to
mathematics to physics.
8. 4. Wilbur and Orville Wright
INVENTIONS:-
Before Wilbur and Orville discovered what
would later become the safest mode of
transport, they were bicycle mechanics with
a passion for kite-flying. The crucial insights
from both fields would later propel them to
victory in the race to the sky.
Most prototypes of the time could not stay
in the air long enough after taking off. The
Wright brothers however understood that
stability was crucial in overcoming this
challenge. After several experiments using
kites and gliders, they created a pulley
system that altered the shape of the wing in
mid-flight, increasing and decreasing the
speeds. The Wright brothers were also the
first to look at propeller design and
aerodynamics, profoundly changing the
world.
9. 3. Henry Ford
INVENTIONS:-
Henry Ford realized that he would a more
efficient way to mass produce cars in
order to lower the price. He looked at
other industries and found four principles
that would further their goal:
interchangeable parts, continuous flow,
division of labor, and reducing wasted
effort. Ford put these principles into play
gradually over five years, fine-tuning and
testing as he went along. In 1913, they
came together in the first moving
assembly line ever used for large-scale
manufacturing. Ford produced cars at a
record-breaking rate forever changing the
automobile industry.
10. 2. Thomas Edison
INVENTIONS:-
Edison is the most prolific inventor in
history, holding a record 1,097
patents. He developed the
phonograph, incandescent light bulb,
stock ticker, motion picture camera
and projector, and hundreds more.
He also created the first electrical
plant and distribution infrastructure.
Without these inventions, modern life
is almost inconceivable.
11. 1. Leonardo da Vinci
INVENTIONS:-
Perhaps the biggest visionary of
all time, Leonardo foresaw
everything from the helicopter to
the tank to the submarine. Modern
engineers have proven that many
of his designs, including bridges,
hang-gliders, transmissions,
parachutes, and more would have
worked had they been built. There
have been few individuals in the
history of engineering who have
designed so many revolutionary
devices that actually worked. For
having this remarkable vision and
intelligence, Leonardo qualifies as
the most remarkable engineer of
all time.
