The Machines of Leonardo Da Vinci and Franz Reuleaux
Author: Francis C. Moon
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402055986
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 445
Book Description
This fascinating book will be of as much interest to engineers as to art historians, examining as it does the evolution of machine design methodology from the Renaissance to the Age of Machines in the 19th century. It provides detailed analysis, comparing design concepts of engineers of the 15th century Renaissance and the 19th century age of machines from a workshop tradition to the rational scientific discipline used today.

Social Networks in the History of Innovation and Invention
Author: Francis C. Moon
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400775288
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
This book integrates history of science and technology with modern social network theory. Using examples from the history of machines, as well as case studies from wireless, radio and chaos theory, the author challenges the genius model of invention. Network analysis concepts are presented to demonstrate the societal nature of invention in areas such as steam power, internal combustion engines, early aviation, air conditioning and more. Using modern measures of network theory, the author demonstrates that the social networks of invention from the 19th and early 20th centuries have similar characteristics to modern 21st C networks such as the World Wide Web. The book provides evidence that exponential growth in technical innovation is linked to the growth of historical innovation networks.

Stronger Than a Hundred Men
Author: Terry S. Reynolds
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 9780801872488
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
Like many apparently simple devices, the vertical water wheel has been around for so long that it is taken for granted. Yet this "picturesque artifact" was for centuries man's primary mechanical source of power and was the foundation upon which mills and other industries developed. Stronger than a Hundred Men explores the development of the vertical water wheel from its invention in ancient times through its eventual demise as a source of power during the Industrial Revolution. Spanning more than 2000 years, Terry Reynolds's account follows the progression of this labor-saving device from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and America-covering the evolution of the water wheel itself, the development of dams and reservoirs, and the applications of water power.
