July 5, 2016

Very few are lucky enough to take a ride in a Chopper & I am happy to be one of them! Anyway, helicopters are indeed one of the most interesting machines from which I know so far. Subjects like flight mechanics & helicopter dynamics are not for weak hearted ones; they are seriously challenging to study! Well keeping those complex calculations, equations & relations aside, lets at least know how helicopters work, fly & are steered !

what is antikythera mechanism ?

The Antikythera mechanism is more valuable than Mona Lisa!

says professor Michael Edmunds from Cardiff University, who led a 2006 study of the mechanism!

Honestly, this is one of the most mysterious, extraordinary, fascinating & interesting machines I’ve ever seen in my life! The Antikythera mechanism is one of the most remarkable inventions of the ancient world that came to light in 1900 when a Greek Sponge diver discovered the wreck of an ancient Greek or Roman cargo ship that had sunk off the Greek island of Antikythera around 80 B.C.E!

How do Gas turbines or Jet engines work ?

December 14, 2015

Rotary/gnome engines were used to power aircrafts during WW-I & radial engines during WW-II. Then came the era of jet engines which completely revolutionized the aviation technology ! Jet engines were very much efficient & powerful than those used during World wars ! The power jet engines deliver is so high that an airplane weighing hundreds of tons lifts off the ground with such ease. How are they capable of producing so much of power/thrust ?
So lets not waste our time & have a look on how do jet engines work ? more “How do Gas turbines or Jet engines work ?”
