Galileo Galilei
Galileo Galilei was appointed as the professor of mathematics at the University of Padua. -
Period: to
Inventions Over Time
-
Telescopes
Galileo Galilei constructed his version of the Telescope. The first ones invented were invented in the Netherlands. -
Steam Engine
First practical steam engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen. James Watt made many improvements years later. -
Chronometer
The first chronometer was invented by John Harrison, which allowed navigators to determine a ship's longitude. -
Hydrodynamics
(Italics) Hydrodynamics by Daniel Bernoulli, included research on fluid behavior is published. -
Heat
Mikhail Lomonosov suggested that heat is a form of motion. Years later a formula was formulated. -
Astronomy
William Herschel pusued astronomy, contructing reflecting telescopes discovering stars and the planet Uranus. -
Chemical Reactions
Antione Lavoisier began research on chemical reactions and combustion. -
Heat (2)
Ben Thompson demonstated heat results from mechanical processes. -
Volta
Alessandro Volta developed the first electrical current cell using alternating plates of zinc and silver. -
Electromagnetism
Andre' Ampere repeats experiment of producing a magnetic field by Hans Oersted and Ampere formulated the law of electromagnetism. -
Electromagnetic Induction
Micheal Farraday began experiments on electromagnetic induction. -
Morse Code
Sam Morse invented the telegraph and sends the first message to Baltimore from Washington D.C. -
Mechanical Eneregy
James Joule determined mechanical energy is equal to heat from transfered energy. -
Thermodynamics
Rudolph Clausis formulated the second law of thermodynamics. It places constraint upon the direction of heat transfer and efficinecies of a heated engine. -
Math Framework
Farraday recieved Maxwell's discoveries of a mathemematical framework. -
Motion Picture
August and Louis Lumiere showed the first motion picture. -
Radioactive Elements
Marie amd Pierre Currie were the first people to isolate polonium and radium which are radioactive elements. -
Aircraft
The Wright Bros Will and Orville fly their first successful aircraft. -
Atomic Structure
Niels Bohr develpoed atomic structure building on discoveries by Ernest Rutherford, JJ Thomson, Max Planck, and Al Einstein. -
