点评:No, my review title does not refer to this geezer, though folk lore has it that wisdom comes with age, it’s about Archimedes—the guy who invented the Archimedes Screw, a device used to raise water uphill. I saw parts of an original and an exact replica functioning at the base of hilltop Toledo, Spain.
Other genius creations:
• Developed levers and compound pulleys for mechanical advantage, famously quoted for saying he could move the Earth—if he could stand far enough away for leverage.
• Created defensive devices, including the Claw—a ship-lifting crane.
• The Archimedes Principle defines the law of buoyancy, explaining how objects float, like melting ice in a glass does not raise water level. The “Eureka!” story.
• Archimedes built a device demonstrating celestial movements, what is now known as planetariums.
• He is also renowned for mechanics/hydrostatics, calculating pi accurately and documented formulas for surface area/sphere volume, and mathematical physics.
翻译:不,我的评论标题指的并非这位老家伙,尽管民间传说智慧会随着年龄增长而增长,但我想说的是阿基米德——发明了阿基米德螺旋泵的那位——他发明了一种能将水提升到高处的装置。我在西班牙托莱多山顶的山脚下,亲眼目睹了原件和一台精确复制品的运作。
其他天才发明:
• 发明了杠杆和复合滑轮以增加机械优势,他曾说过一句名言:如果他能站在足够远的地方利用杠杆作用,他就能移动地球。
• 发明了防御装置,包括“爪式”——一种用于起吊船舶的起重机。
• 阿基米德原理定义了浮力定律,解释了物体如何漂浮,例如,玻璃杯中的冰融化不会导致水位上升。这就是著名的“尤里卡!”故事。
• 阿基米德建造了一种演示天体运动的装置,也就是我们现在所说的天文馆。
• 他还以力学/流体静力学、精确计算π以及记录表面积/球体体积公式和数学物理而闻名。
