Birth Of The Modern Age - WordsEnclave

Here are some things which are discovered in 1895.


1. Diesel Engine (1895)

While it can be safely asserted that the diesel engine was, indeed, invented by Paris-born inventor Rudolf Diesel (1858-1913), it is not the case that we can attribute to him the very first "Diesel" engine.
"Diesel Engine" has for sometime been the generic term used to describe any compression ignition (CI), internal- combustion engine, that is an engine that has no carburetor or spark plugs but instead injects a fuel oil directly into the cylinder. Because the piston has compressed the air therein so  tightly, it is hot enough to ignite the fuel with no spark. as a cold engine cannot ignite the diesel fuel, glow plugs are sometime used to preheat the cylinder/mixture.


2. Film camera/Projector (1895)

It was the Lumière brothers-Auguste (1862-1954) and Louis(1864-1948)- who created the first practical film camera/projector, the Cinematograph. Despite the fact that it incorporated both projection and filming function in one (and was a printer too), it was much smaller then Edison's large, bulky Kinetograph. The machine also had the massive advantages of projecting picture that many people could view at once. it is this similarity to modern projectors that establishes it as the first proper film camera/projector.
The first public showing, on December 28, 1895, featured ten short films including the Lumière's first Worker Leaving the Lumière Factory.


3. X-Ray Photography (1895)

An x-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength, in the rang 10 to 0.01 nano meter. German physicist Wilhelm Rontgen (1845-1923) was experimenting with cathode rays in 1895 when he realized that these produced another form of radiation when they hit the glass of the cathode ray tube. He called them X-Ray, as "X"stands for the unknown in mathematics. X-ray was discovers how to photograph inside the bodies of living things.

The Bones Of Human Body-WordsEnclave

1. Skeleton  The Skeleton is a mobile framework made up of 206 bones, approximately half of which are in the hands and feet. Although individual bones are rigid, the skeleton as a whole is remarkably flexible and allows the human body a huge range of movement. The skeleton serves as an anchorage for the skeletal muscles, and as a protective cage for the body's internal organs. Female bones are usually smaller and lighter than male bones, and the female pelvis is shallower and has a wider cavity. 2. Skull The skull is the most complicated bony structure of the body but every feature serves a purpose. Internally, the main hollow chamber of the skull has three levels that support the brain, with every bump and hollow corresponding to the shape of the brain. Underneath and towards the back of the skull is a large round hole, the foramen magnum, through which the spinal cord passes. To the front of this are many samller openings through which nerves, arteries, and veins pass...

THE AGE OF EMPIRES- WordsEnclave

1. Cantilever Bridge (1882) Baker and Fowler accomplish a daring feat of structural engineering. Between 1882 and 1890, construction of the one of the most ambitious engineering projects of the time took place near Edinburgh, Scotland. The project was to create a railway bridge that would span the Firth of Forth, one of Scotland's major tributaies, and connect the northeast and southeast of the country. The men who step forward to take up this challenge were Benjamin Baker (1840-1907) and John Fowler (1817-1898). Artist William Morris described it as "the supremest specimen of all ugliness," but their design became an national icon and set a new standard in engineering.          Baker and Fowler were chosen in 1882 to replace the previous designer of the Forth Rail Bridge, Sir Thomas Bouch, when one of his projects, the Tay Bridge, collapsed in 1879 killing seventy-five people. Baker and Fowler has an estabilished pedigree of engineering in Victorian Brit...
