A machine to make a triangular hole? It seems impossible but with very precise technology and the use of a little geometry and mathematics it becomes possible! How? Watch the video to the end and see how a machine capable of this result is built and how it works... 📹 by ciencias.tv #engineering #technology #science For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔and select “All”

The role of Engineering in adaptive buildings: what if your home was able to adapt to the climate changes? Adaptive buildings, which adjust to changing climatic conditions, represent a great achievement in engineering and technology. These structures use advanced materials and smart technologies, such as kinetic architecture, to respond to daily, seasonal, and weather-related variations, ensuring superior comfort while minimizing energy use and emissions. Engineering plays a very important role in designing systems that allow buildings to modify their properties dynamically. Innovations such as responsive window transparency, adjustable insulation, and shape-shifting designs are all products of sophisticated engineering. Technology is equally vital, enabling real-time data collection and automated adjustments. Sensors and control systems continuously monitor environmental conditions and make necessary changes to the building’s configuration. By leveraging these advancements, adaptive buildings mimic the natural adaptability seen in many organisms, achieving sustainability and efficiency. The integration of engineering and technology is essential for realizing the full potential of these innovative structures, paving the way for a more sustainable future in architecture.

The waves of the oceans can produce twice the energy we need… and we have amazing technologies like this to make it possible! This is how we can say goodbye forever to the fossil fuels that are leading us to ruin The project generates clean and affordable electricity, using a simple design that allows the project’s uniquely shaped floaters to be attached to existing man-made structures (such as piers, breakwaters and jetties), and thereby simplifying the installation process, as well as maintenance and accessibility. The company’s technology has won awards, as has its co-founder, Inna Braverman, named among the world’s most influential women, for spurring the commercialization of wave energy, which could transform the world’s energy mix and help the global fight against climate change. Commercializing wave energy has enormous potential — the World Energy Council predicts that wave energy can produce twice the amount of electricity the world currently produces. More than half the world’s population lives within 100 km of a coastline, and in many locations, the power of the waves is available around the clock. So… let’s do it! 📹 by Going Green Media and Eco Wave Power #engineering #technology #energy #coimatechange For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔and select “All”

What have the Romans done for us? The watermills of Barbegal, near Fontvieille in southern France, are a great example of Roman engineering from the 4th century AD. Key Engineering Aspects: 1. Design: - 16 water wheels in two parallel rows of eight, utilizing a cascading system to maximize water use. 2. Aqueduct Use: - Powered by a Roman aqueduct, ensuring a continuous and reliable water supply. 3. Efficiency: - Produced enough flour to feed around 12,500 people daily, showcasing optimal resource management. These elements demonstrate the Romans' advanced engineering skills and their ability to implement large-scale industrial solutions. 📹 by Simple history #engineering #technology #engineer For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔and select “All”

Given that the lifespan of bearings is shorter than that of the entire structure, routine replacement becomes a crucial aspect of bridge maintenance.  However, this task presents challenges, as not all bridges are designed for convenient maintenance, lacking detailed provisions for replacement. The effectiveness of the entire operation hinges on a strategic integration of methods, access points, and specialized equipment. The video, by Unloop Filmes for VSL International Ltd. show an example of bearing replacement process. Let's never forget the importance of maintenance! #engineering #structuralengineering #engineer #bridge For more: 📌 Follow #ImpressiveEngineering 📌 Click on the 🔔 and select "ALL"
