Important Discovery of the World Donated By Muslim scientists

in science •  8 years ago 

Really enjoyed this post. I'd never Heard of the Bani Musa Brothers before. I'd heard the tales of middle age rich folk being amazed by these automated machines. Although I'd not confirmed it I'd supposed the Greeks had invented them. A very interesting subject. Apparently they were used to con people into believing magical tales. There will always be hustlers.

It appears that the book did contain legit inventions.
From Wikipedia:
"The Book of Ingenious Devices describes 100 inventions; the ones which have been reconstructed work as designed. While designed primarily for amusement purposes, they employ innovative engineering technologies such as one-way and two-way valves able to open and close by themselves, mechanical memories, devices to respond to feedback, and delays. Most of these devices were operated by water pressure."

Very impressive @ghasemkiani

Yeah that's science.. Everyone can be like them, it's just that they are lazy to hone his skills @neillio
