The Fascinating Engineering behind Electric Trains!

It might be surprising to know that in electric trains, the power collected from the overheadlines ends up in the grounding cable of the track after flowing through the wheels. Three phase power conversion, regenerative braking and zig-zag overheadlines - all these make electric train technology quite unique. Let’s understand all the engineering secrets behind the electric trains starting from the simplest design possible.

The Brilliant Engineering behind Pantographs!

Modern, Z-shaped pantographs are marvels of engineering. You can see how seamlessly they unfold and collect power from the overhead lines. Watch what happens if the collector head is not horizontal during the folding and unfolding of the pantograph. To better understand this important quality of modern pantographs, let’s examine this scaled-down demonstration.

The current collector is...
Leonardo da Vinci's GENIUS invention - Miter Locks

What’s the connection between multifaceted genius Leonardo DaVinci and the great Panama Canal? Interestingly his centuries old invention – the Miter Lock – is still getting utilised in the majority of the canal locks. Its design is simple, yet Miter locks form a perfect water-tight lock.

People before DaVinci were using heavy, inefficient locks that worked against gravity. ...
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 Engineering Marvel called Panama Canal

Did you know that a simple drought in the Panama region could cease the operation of the great Panama canal? This marvel of civil engineering uses a clever locking arrangement to lift passing ships by almost 20 meters in order to safely transport them across the canal.

To materialize this smart canal lock system a superfast concreting technology was needed. Look at the giant T-cranes the...
Inkjet Printers | The interesting engineering behind them

Inkjet printer technology is truly the magic of C M Y colors. The engineering behind the droplets and how the color algorithm creates the final image is pretty clever. We all know that display technology consists of minute red, green, and blue subpixels. As an experiment, one of our engineers at Lesics filled her inkjet printer with the same RGB colors.

Let's take a look at...
Weirs | The COOL Engineering Behind Them

If you’ve ever visited the beautiful river Kennet you might have noticed a strange looking zig-zag structure. Did you know that if this structure were to disappear one fine morning, that the result would be a disaster? Welcome to the interesting engineering behind weirs.

Suppose you have an open channel flow like this. You introduce a simple structure called a weir into the flow. What do...

When observing the Golden Gate Bridge floating over the Pacific ocean, your eyes may be drawn to its beautiful suspension cable system. What would happen to the bridge if this cable system was not present? In short, it would be a catastrophe. Let’s brave the deadly currents of the Pacific ocean and construct the Golden gate bridge with its chief design engineer, Mr. Joseph Strauss. We will also explore the mesmerizing engineering feats the Golden gate bridge has achieved. Come...
Golden Gate Bridge | How a Wonder was Constructed?

The construction innovations Mr. Joseph Strass achieved for the Golden gate bridge project were numerous. The way the workers connected the massive cable standing on the top of the world, and most importantly the way they constructed the giant towers.

For the tower construction, American engineers invented a beautiful machine - the climbing derrick. Check out how these two stiff...
Empire State Building | All the Secrets of the Engineering Wonder

In 1945 a speeding bomber aircraft accidently crashed into the most iconic building of the United States - The Empire State Building. You might be expecting something like this. Huge fire, impact, Force damage.

The engines destroying the lift system and portion of the building. Despite all these, the Empire State Building stood strong. All these heavy pieces were...
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...
The CRUEL Physics behind Tsunamis!

Tsunami waves that form in the open ocean travel at high speeds but are barely noticeable. Now, the wave is approaching the shore or the water depth decreases. How will the decrease in water depth affect the tsunami’s height? Surprisingly, the wave that initially seemed harmless suddenly gains a huge amplitude—a devastating tsunami. To understand this strange physics behind the tsunami, we should first learn about ocean beds that are constantly moving. ...
Boston Dynamics Spot Robot: All of its Engineering SECRETS!

A fall from almost 20 feet height - the Spot robot of Boston Dynamics looks like a dead creature now. But, it will recover like an intelligent animal with the help of its smart motor arrangement and intelligent mechanism. The angle of the Spot robot leg is quite interesting. It’s a backward bend design. Ohh, now there is one more robot to compete with the original Spot robot! The maximum speed both the robots can achieve is almost the same, but what about this stair...
Constructing the Wonder: Hoover Dam Secrets Revealed

The galleries located inside the Hoover dam are pretty amazing. They are responsible for draining water from beneath the dam body. However, if these simple looking galleries were absent, there would be devastating consequences for the dam. To better understand the clever engineering behind the Hoover dam, let's first explore how they placed the concrete in this dam.

The interesting engineering behind the SHAPE of Train wheels!

The train’s wheels are not perfectly cylindrical, but slightly conical. In our opinion, this conical shape is a marvel of engineering that accomplished two major things, one - correcting the course of the train towards the center, and two - helping the train to achieve the differential action. To understand the first accomplishment, let’s consider a simple experiment with glued paper cups.

Underwater Constructions: How do Engineers Make Them?

Many laborers are fighting hard against the violent ocean currents to complete the construction of an underwater bridge pier. Are you able to spot a mistake made by the chief construction engineer here? This mistake will result in a catastrophe. Welcome to civil engineering’s most challenging task: underwater construction.

Even though we call it underwater construction,...
Airbags: How do they work?

This would happen in a high-speed accident if there was no airbag, even if the driver fastened their seatbelt.
It's a big engineering challenge to bring the human body to rest from a high speed in a time duration of 100 milliseconds without causing much harm to the body. Let’s learn about this life-saving technology by understanding the mechanism of airbag inflation, which interestingly happens thanks to a chemical explosion. ...
