The Most Famous Engineers

     

   Although there are many famous engineer in history, there are some very useful invention and insight. From the repair engineering students to improve the old design, the engineers found that the comprehensive legal, affect our scientific world view, here is the most famous engineers of the 20:

1.      Archimedes of Syracuse:  Two thousand one hundred and ninety years ago, in ancient Greece Sicily Syracuse ancient country, a great physicist. His name is Archimedes (287-212 BC). Focus studious and Archimedes's life to someone dedicated to science, loyal to the motherland, the people's respect and praise. Archimedes had found the lever rule and Archimedes's principle named after him. And use a variety of mechanical design, these laws for the people, serve the motherland. About the details of his life, have been unable to textual research. But the story of his invention and defend the motherland, has spread so far.

2.      Francis Bacon:  Francis Bacon, the first generation of the al the Viscount (1 St Viscount St Alban), one of the most important British Renaissance essayist and philosopher. He not only in literature and philosophy, has done more, in the field of natural science, and made great achievements. Bacon was a noble lineage has experienced many hardships, complicated life experience has enriched his experience, followed by, his mature, deep, rich in philosophical. His entire worldview is secular rather than religious (though he believed in god). He is a rationalist rather than superstition admirers, is an experience rather than a sophist; In politics, he is a realist rather than theorists. He once said: "knowledge is power."

3.      Daniel Bernoulli: Daniel Bernoulli's research field is very broad, his work is almost to the time of the mathematics and physics research frontier problem. In terms of pure mathematics, his work involved algebra, calculus, differential equations, probability theory, series theory, etc., but he is the best job will calculus, differential equation is applied to physics, fluid problems, an object, the vibration and swing, he regarded as the architect of the method of mathematical physics

4.      John Logie Baird: John Roger Baird (John Logie Baird, August 13, 1888 - June 14, 1946) is an engineer and inventor, is the inventor of the electric mechanical television system. Some of his other inventions contribution includes development of optical fiber, radio direction finder, infrared night vision goggles and radar. In 2002, baird was chosen by the British broadcasting corporation is one of the greatest 100 britons.

5.      Henry Bessemer：Bessemer (A.D. 1813-1898), British metallurgists. Inventing new methods of printing stamps at the age of 20. Process research and later found iron will melt into the converter, blow into the high pressure air, will burn off pig iron containing silicon, manganese, phosphorus, carbon, and refined to produce. This is the first large steel-producing method. Since then, Europe and America have introduced the advanced method, the world entered the era of iron and steel.

6.      Gustave Eiffel:  Gustave Eiffel (Gustave Eiffel, 1832-1923), French renowned architect, structural engineer, metal structure experts, because of the design is famous for its iconic Eiffel tower in Paris. From the central academy of craft manufacture in Paris in 1855 [1] (Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures) after graduation, specializing in metal construction, especially the bridge. He was the first to use one of the engineers to build a bridge pneumatic caisson. Eiffel major works include Paris exposition machinery exhibition hall (1867), French Lv Ye river Shanghai arch bridge (span of 162 meters, 120 meters) above the surface, such as skeleton of the statue of liberty in New York harbor. His bold and innovative design of the Eiffel Tower (1887-1889), shocked the whole world, people called him "used steel to create the miracle." In suburban Paris he designed the first aerodynamic laboratory, in 1921, he presented the laboratory to countries. Gustave Eiffel was a miracle in human's history of architecture engineer, will be people remember.

7.      John Ambrose Fleming: John Ambrose Fleming (John Ambrose Fleming) (November 29, 1864 - April 18, 1945), the electrical engineers and physicists. To find out the physical the right-hand rule used in electromagnetics, is famous for its invention diode (vacuum tube). Most had no child, after the death of the real estate to the Christian charity, to help the poor

8.      Edwin Armstrong: Edwin Armstrong Howard (English: Edwin Howard Armstrong, December 18, 1890 - January 31, 1954) was an American radio engineers, the inventor of the FM radio technology. Graduated from Columbia University in 1913, studied the triple tube and design of feedback circuit, then the university professor. Europe had travelled to the first world war work for us. In 1918 the French invented the superheterodyne receiver. In 1933, won the invention patent about frequency modulation, frequency modulation broadcasting way solve the problem of the radio antenna and noise. After tweaking the FM patent disputes, and sickness, on January 31, 1954, himself.

9.      Seymour Cray: Seymour Cray (Seymour Cray, on September 28, 1925 - October 5, 1996), male, American, designed in 1958 built the world's first supercomputer based on transistor, become an important milestone in the history of the development of the computer. At the same time also to the reduced instruction (RISC) high-end microprocessors have significant contribution. As a high performance computer (high performance computing) one of the most important figures in the field of, he designed the Cray all hardware and operating system, operating system written in his machine code out of it, the most surprising is that has not been any bugs and errors. Until January 1986, the world's 130 super computer, with about 90 units is developed by the listed company of clay, clay institute.

10.  Wernher von Braun: Werner von Braun was born in Germany in 1912. During the second world war, he is a well-known German rocket scientists, and V V - 1-2 the birth of the rockets played a key role. At the end of the war, Braun and surrender to the United States, the scientific research team in 1955, he joined the U.S. citizenship. Braun to continue in the United States engaged in the study of rockets and missiles and space, won a series of MEDALS, MEDALS and titles of honor. In 1969, he led the development of Saturn 5 rocket, the first "Apollo 11" spacecraft manned moon landing on the moon. The first successful flight in April 1981, the space shuttle, was in the hands of Braun began. As a result, he was admired as "the father of modern space". In June 1977, Braun died Alexandra hospital in Washington.

19.  Fazlur Khan: From scientific research to structural engineering, law, Khan (Fazlur Khan) is considered one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. You may recognize some of his works, even through it. Even so, the innovator's popularity is still couldn't catch up with his peers were in architecture. As John Hancock center and the man behind the Willis tower in Chicago, Mr Strauss-kahn (Khan) design the second tallest in North America, laid all the structure of the tower building systems today.

20.  Judith Resnik: (April 5, 1949 - January 28, 1949) was an American engineers and an American astronaut when he died, the space shuttle challenger mission STS - 51 - were destroyed during the L. Grace is the second American astronaut, Nick log 145 hours in orbit. She graduated from Carnegie Mellon university and a doctorate in electrical engineering at the university of Maryland.
