African American inventions have played a significant role in shaping the world as we know it today. While the following list is somewhat confined to technological and mechanical inventions, many other popular inventions stem from the inventiveness of this community. ...
Benjamin Banneker, a notable polymath, astounded his contemporaries by constructing a fully functioning clock entirely out of wooden parts in the 18th century. This mechanical marvel, which ran accurately for decades, showcased Banneker's exceptional engineering and craftsmanship skills. Though he also ...
Forget the Rube Goldberg mechanical perpetual motion contraptions; they had-to stop eventually. In contrast, new solid-state (no moving parts) energy-converters are said to draw from an energy field in surrounding space. This-source of abundant power is known by physicists as the zero-point qua...
The earliest known mechanical clock used a water-powered escapement mechanism to transfer rotational energy into intermittent motion and was developed in Greece around the 3rd century BC. In the 10th century AD,Chinese engineersinvented clocks that usedmercury-powered escapement mechanisms, andArabic engi...
This special skin setup is “the elephant’s innovation,” co-author David Hu, a mechanical engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said in astatement. But human engineers have tended to overlook this concept while developing soft robots. ...
