Inventor of World's First Calculator : "Blaise Pascal"

The inventor of the world's first calculator was Blaise Pascal. Math and science experts from France's managed to make a numerical wheel calculator or the Pascaline. The tool became the forerunner of the modern calculators often used today.



Blaise Pascal was born in the city of Clemont, France, June 19, 1623. He was the son of Etienne Pascal, scientists and mathematicians. As a boy, Pascal has more interest in the natural sciences and mathematics. She was never educated in school and just learned to the father as well as his tutor.
However, Pascal was able to master the knowledge quickly. At age 13, he discovered the formula triangle Pascal. Because of that, he was included in a group of French mathematicians discussion with some great scientists such as Descartes, Fermat, and Robeval. Of associations that, he began to find ideas to make Pascaline.
The tool was created when he was 18 years old. Pascaline was created to help his father work as a tax collector Normandy region. Pascaline able to do addition, subtraction, and division quickly. Thus, the father can quickly calculate the tax revenue.


Pascal discovery attracted the attention of the wider community. He also passionately explain the workings of the device in front of the French scientists. However, the government is not interested in producing the device for large and high production costs.
ascal indirect despair. He soon patented his work before emulated a watchmaker. Pascal also sell equipment to the Queen of Sweden, Christina. However, it was rejected. Pascaline was later refined German mathematician, Gottfred Wilhem von Leibniz (1646-1716). He added that the process of multiplication on the device.
Besides Pascaline, Pascal managed to find some other important formulas. One satunnya is probability theory. The theory is derived from the habit of tossing two dice when gambling and partying. Pascal died on August 19, 1662. The discovery that created the basis for the development of modern technology.

History of The Discovery of A Pin

Thanks to an inventor Walter Hunt Winchester, United States. invention that was created around the year 1849, against the background by the pressure to pay 15 dollars to his debt.



Walter Hunt was born July 29, 1796, in Martinsburg, New York. He was the youngest child of the couple Sherman and Rachel Hunt. Since small, Hunt lived in the city of his birth. He got his early education in a small school with one classroom. In 1817, Hunt graduated from college in Masonry. After graduation he married Polly Loucks and had 4 children.
Hunt to develop a career in the field of intellectual textile business which at that time became the main livelihood Lowville town, a small town in Lewis Country, New York. He was with his family textile business building fabric and cotton wool.
Together with his brother Hiram Hunt, he pioneered in the field of services of spinning wool. However, the business did not last due to substantial losses.
Although busy with his work, Hunt is also smart in the field of mechanics is still time to create some useful items for the public interest, among them the spinning tool, knife grinder, a bell for street cars, coal-burning stove, artificial stone, street cleaning machines , an ice scraper and a letter making machine. However, these findings do not help to improve the economics of the family.
Even Hunt who prefer to marry young, have struggled to pay off his debt to as much as 15 dollars. Of stress and anxiety, he thought to create something that would help him pay off his debt.
At one point, Walter Hunt was twisted pieces of cable to create a pin. At that time the pin is used as a tool for embedding fabric without buttons. In fact, safety is usually used to link pants with tops that are used as a representation of young workers wear time.
In order not to be imitated by others, Hunt patented the safety pin creations of April 10, 1849. Later in life, he sold the patent rights at a price of 400 dollars. Without realizing that he was actually able to get billions of dollars from the results of his findings.
Before invented by Walter Hunt, the actual pin has been known since the 14th century BC in Micenae. Traditional pin was called fibulae pin whose function is similar to what we use today.

But the end is not closed so often injure the wearer and does not have a so can not hold tightly. However, the usefulness of the new pin may yield results after Walter Hunt managed to find a pin that is simpler and simpler and safer to use.
In the development of safety pins used by the lifestyle of the punk subculture or community. This community uses a pin as one of the popular style since the mid-1970s in the United Kingdom.
Gaya was declared first emerged thanks to the creation of Richard Hell and the increasingly popular because his picture was published in the magazine punk community. Pin design has also been developed and an assortment of colorful and often ditambahin trinkets to decorate clothes. In fact, safety is also used as a prize award with gold.



Walter Hunt died on June 8, 1859 due to illness Pneumia. His body was buried in Green-Wood cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. Until now the country uncle sam remember him as a man of many new innovations in the field of the invention.
Despite having created many inventions, until his death Hunt never enjoyed the profits from his creations.

The story of discovery of Instant Noodles

For students who wander outside the city, Instant Noodle is one of the most loyal friend in the quench hunger. Especially for male students are in fact not good at cooking, noodles instanlah answer.

History of Discovery of Silk


Fabric discovery that begins with the discovery of the actual thread is not documented with certainty. But history may still confusing it could be useful.
According to a story, supposedly derived silk
China land aka land of China. Hence, the famous Chinese wall was also known as the silk trade lanes. by
This story, silk obtained from silk worm, first discovered by the Empress Xi Ling-Shi thousands of years ago.
One day when the Queen Xi Ling-Shi was an excursion, he found the cocoons of silkworms. Out of curiosity, the cocoon that was touched with a finger. He also tried to pull a piece of yarn coming out of the cocoon. It's amazing, the more he pull the string length to cover up and bandaged fingers. Queen had stopped interesting thread because his hands were hot. When
thread that runs out, the queen saw the cocoon cocoon kecil. Finally he realized that it was a source of yarn which was then called the silk thread. Queen was then told to everyone that this discovery
widely known. Yarn is then spun and made into cloth that appeared to have a good quality. Besides being very smooth, silk fabric is also very soft to the many people who
like. So, do not be surprised if the price is quite expensive silk.

History of Discovery Wheels

History of Discovery Wheel (Wheel's History of Invention) Ivan Taniputera May 3, 2012 which is considered the inventor of the Nation is the nation's wheels Elam who lived in Mesopotamia (Tigris-Euphrates valley). Considered as such, because the sculptures they created is the oldest depiction of the wheel. Although it is possible that the wheel is older than the nation of Elam, but it must be coming from the vicinity of their residence. Why is that? Because the wheels are not found in other regions of the world, including in nations where ever coming into contact directly or indirectly with the Tigris Valley culture - the Euphrates.

 
Kish also in Mesopotamia, was discovered 5,000-year-old wheels. So we may conclude that the wheel was found in the Mesopotamia region. Perhaps the idea of ​​reinventing the wheels from wooden rollers placed under the board where the load to make it easier to move. So load rolled over the rolls, and after that rolnya moved forward, and so on.
Thanks to the use of the wooden rollers, cow age tractor can load longer. Wooden rollers which serves as a hoop is probably the forerunner of wheels. Further development is entirely conjectural. Neither the board nor the load carrier wooden roller will both undergo wear after repeated use. The result is the notch on wooden rollers.
In the meantime, this is a good thing because it will prevent the wood roller skidding off the table where the load. But if the wear and tear it gets in the form of the notch, then the middle between the two notches will rub against the board where the load. As a result, movement becomes smooth. People then find a way, how this will not happen. They then make that the center of the roller to be smaller than the edges.
Be two wheels connected by a shaft to be one with it. However, because they blend with the axle, the wheels are forced to move at the same speed, so it can turn easily. Mankind is not fond despair, and they find a way again. Created shaft fixed to the wheels that each rotate him. Thus, they can rotate at different speeds. It's easy to turn.



That embryo wheels as it is today. Wheels subsequently spread to many places. The ancestors of the Europeans, most of Asia, and several African nations have known the wheel for several thousand years. But other nations new to the wheel before the modern era. For example, the Egyptians have known that chariot wheels.
In the tombs of the kings of Egypt can be found the remains of chariots, which would use the wheel. Thanks to the advanced chariot, the Assyrians under Sennacherib (approximately 720 BC) succeeded membangunan vast empire.

History of Paper

Ancient Egyptian civilization contributing papyrus as writing media. The use of papyrus as a writing medium is used in the ancient Egyptian civilization in the dynasty pharaoh then spread throughout the Middle East to the Mediterranean and the Romans spread across Europe, although the use of papyrus still considered very expensive. From the word papyrus (papyrus) that is known as a paper in English, papier in Dutch, German, French or papel example in Spanish, which means paper.

Recorded in the history of China is a civilization which contributed paper for the World.

Is Tsai Lun who invented paper from bamboo materials are easily available across China in the year 101 AD. This discovery eventually spread to Japan and Korea as the spread of the nations of China to the east and the development of civilization in the region although the initial way of making paper is very confidential.

In the end, the paper-making techniques into the hands of the Arabs in the Abbasid period, especially after the defeat of the forces of the Tang Dynasty in the Battle of Talas River in 751 BC where the prisoners of war teaches how papermaking to the Arabs so dizaman Abbasids, there was paper industry centers both in Baghdad and Samarkand and other industrial cities, then spread to Italy and India and Europe, especially after the Crusades and the fall of Grenada from the Moors into the hands of the Spaniards, and to the whole world.





Ts'ai Lun inventor of paper material most likely a foreign name that sounded in the ears of readers. Considering how important the findings, it is very surprising that the Western people underestimate it for granted. Not a little encyclopaedia not put her name goods word. This is really outrageous. Judging from the point of the importance of usability is very rare Ts'ai Lun paper cited can cause suspicion lest Ts'ai Lun a figure erratic and unreliable presence or absence. However, an absolute thorough investigation proves clearly that Ts'ai Lun was really there and not some genie in a fairy tale.
He was a civil servant at the royal court in the year 105 AD to present examples of the paper to the Emperor Ho Ti. Note Ts'ai Lun Chinese about this (found in the writing of the official history of the Han dynasty) completely candid and trustworthy, without the slightest no odors or fairy tale magic. The Chinese always associate the name with Ts'ai Lun inventor of paper and his name famous throughout China.
Not much is known about the life of Ts'ai Lun, unless there is a mention that he was a eunuch. Noted also very excited with the emperor Ts'ai Lun, and he made it up the ranks, and be knighted by itself so barons. However, later he was involved in a plot that drags anti palace to his downfall. Chinese records mentioned after he kicked-Ts'ai Lun clean bathroom, wearing a beautiful dress, and then drank poison.
The use of paper spread across China in the 2nd century, and in the first few centuries China has been able to export paper to Asian countries. For a long time China's secretive way this paper fabrication. In the year 751, what is immoral, some experts paper restorer captive by Arabs so that in a short paper is diprodusir in Baghdad and Sarmarkand. Art of papermaking gradually spread throughout the Arab world and the new in the 12th century the Europeans learned this technique. The use of paper began to spread, and after Gutenberg invented the modern printing press, paper replaced parchment as a means of writing in the West.
Now the use of paper is so general that no one could imagine a world without paper forms.
In China before Ts'ai Lun, most books were made of bamboo. Just awful kind of book it was too heavy and clumsy. Indeed, there is also a book made of silk but the price is very expensive to the public. While in the West before paper-books were written on goat or calf skin. This material as a substitute for papyrus favored by Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. Both parchment and papyrus not only scarce, but also expensive.
