The great Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore, erected by Filippo Brunelleschi remains one of the wonders of Renaissance architecture. Along with the Cathedral’s dome, Brunelleschi was known for his magnificent inventions and arcthecural designs.

crane for the construction site to lift the large blocks of stone and bricks up the height of the dome. He created a design for a hoist that would be powered by oxen. His hoist was remarkable for its size but also for the innovations within its design. These included a reversible gear, an innovation that there is no evidence of previous to this.

Duomo Brunelleschi’s Dome or Duomo as it is called by locals, towers above Florence, Italy. It stands today as the world’s largest and oldest masonry dome ever constructed.

However with the introduction of steam engines the demand for coal skyrocketed. Coal was needed on a much larger scale than it had ever been used before. Because of this coal mines got deeper

I chose to learn more about Brunelleschi’s design of the dome for Florence’s cathedral, which focuses on architecture. The main motivation for this was the fact that there was a gaping hole in the roof of the cathedral, exposing the inside to rain and sun.

For my project I have done something that I’ve wanted to do my whole life. I am building my dream first car. There is one issue with this though, the all-original muscle cars of the sixties and seventies are out of any teenagers price range. There is a relatively simple way around this conundrum, a used car with an engine swap. This is no easy task as an engine is an extremely complex machine, but for anyone who is willing to put in the work, it will save thousands. In my case I was able to find

laborers to their physical and mental limits. Those who couldn’t keep up were easily replaced by the abundance of workers available (Sinclair 71). Along with poor natural conditions, there were numerous machine malfunctions. There was a report of a steam hoist collapsing through a floor.

4.11 Motor A DC motor is an electrical machine which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. A magnetic field is generated by the current carrying conductor and when this system is placed in external magnetic field then the force is exerted which is proportional to the strength of the external magnetic field and to the current in the conductor, then motor will rotate. If the direction of current is reversed then the direction of rotation of motor will also reverse. The speed of DC motor

Both the registration area and
