Some of humanity’s most unexpected and inexplicable machines explored, from designs by made by ancient Greeks to Leonardo da Vinci and beyond.
When it was found, the device was inside the remains of a wooden-framed case. Conservation work identified 82 separate fragments of the mechanism, with the largest gear being about 5 inches in diameter and originally having 223 teeth. Whatever it is, the Antikythera mechanism is the most complex machine we found from that period—it’s simply unlike anything else. This fact has given much life to conspiracies and fantastical explanations, such as that it was created by Archimedes .The Russian Tsar Tank, known as Netopyr or Lebedenko Tank, was a huge war machine. The designers and scientists Nikolai Lebedenko, Nikolay Yegorovich Zhukovsky, Boris Stechkin, and Alexander Mikulin engineered this largest armored vehicle in history.
However, when the impressed Russian leader ordered further project development, it encountered issues. Even though its gigantic wheels were supposed to overcome big obstacles, the small wheel got stuck in soft ground due to the wrong weight distribution. This happened almost at the beginning of the tests, which continued throughout 1915 until the project was eventually canceled.
Speaking with a New York World-Telegram reporter, Tesla reportedly shared that “as he was experimenting with vibrations, the machine got in tune with the vibration of the building and caused a ‘peculiar cracking sound.’” All manner of disturbances took place, with heavy machinery flying around. This caused Tesla to grab a hammer and break the machine.There’s not much proof of it beyond Tesla’s words.
The dynasphere could achieve 30 miles an hour with two people inside. What’s also interesting is that riding in a dynasphere likely provided a unique view. When it was moving, the lattice-work before the driver’s eyes apparently disappeared since it flashed by so quickly., Purves developed a bus version that could hold more people. Unfortunately, it wasn’t practical as it was hard to steer and brake.
