Statue of Liberty : Even Today's Engineers are Surprised!
One of the biggest non-nuclear explosions in history, the Black Tom explosion, caused significant damages to the Statue of Liberty, but couldn’t topple it. The statue's strong iron frame is connected to the copper skin by these flat bars. Interestingly the flat bars are capable of flexing. What will happen in this design if a strong force acts on the copper skin? You can see the flat bars are bending. These flexible bars act like spring isolators and the force...

How are Modern Flyovers Built?
In this beautiful flyover, there are a few high-tension steel tendons protected in conduits. Unfortunately, they are corroding. Can you guess the impact of this on the flyover after 3–4 months? Why is this happening?
You may not believe this, but modern flyovers use these kinds of empty box girders for construction. Interestingly, the smart engineering of these girders allows male–female...

The Brilliant Engineering of Mecanum Wheels!
Mecanum wheel-fitted robots or industrial machines can make a 180 degree turn without taking much space, whereas a normal forklift takes a lot of space and time to achieve the same task. Consider this perfect sideward movement of Mecanum wheeled machines. This would be tedious to achieve using normal wheels. Mecanum wheeled machines achieve all these crazy movements, but their wheels never tilt. Let’s see how Mr. Bengt Erland Ilon came up with this brilliant design. ...

Tesla Turbine | The interesting physics behind it
The maverick engineer Nikola Tesla made his contribution in the mechanical engineering field too. Look at one of his favorite inventions — a bladeless turbine, or Tesla Turbine. The Tesla turbine had a simple, unique design, yet it was able to beat the efficiency levels of steam turbines at that time. Normal turbines are complex in design, with blades of complicated geometry and stator parts. Nikola Tesla once said the Tesla turbine is his favorite invention and he even claimed...

The Fastest train ever built | The complete physics of it
Magnetically levitated trains are common nowadays. However, the MagLev train the Central Japan Railway Company developed is quite unique and superior to the other trains. Running at more than 600 km per hour, it has achieved the status of ‘fastest train.’ This train uses superconducting magnets, which is why it is called SC MagLev. Once charged with an exciting current, the superconducting magnets of this train produce a circulating DC current and strong magnetic field...

¡La CRUEL Física que hay detrás de los Tsunamis!
En mar abierto, las olas del tsunami recorren el océano a gran velocidad, aunque son apenas perceptibles. Entonces, la ola se acerca a la costa o desciende a la profundidad del agua. Asombrosamente, la ola, que al principio aparentaba ser inofensiva, de pronto cobra una inmensa amplitud, un tsunami devastador. Vamos a sumergirnos en el hecho oceánico para entender esta extraña física. Aquí una placa tectónica se desliza debajo de otra. Nótese el abombamiento de la capa...
