Explorations in the History and Heritage of Machines and Mechanisms

This book gathers the latest advances in the field of history of science and technology, as presented by leading international researchers at the 8th International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms (HMM), held in Ankara, Turkey on April 18-20, 2024. The Symposium, which was promoted by the permanent commission for the History of Machine and Mechanism Science (MMS) of IFToMM, provided an international forum to present and discuss historical developments in the field of MMS. The contents cover all aspects of the development of MMS from antiquity until the present era and its historiography: modern reviews of past works, engineers in history and their works, the development of theories, history of the design of machines and mechanisms, historical developments of mechanical design and automation, historical developments of teaching, the history of schools of engineering, the education of engineers. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight

Notes on Galileo’s Moon, in Contemplatio in the Visual Arts and Literature (1400-1700): Festschrift for Walter S. Melion, eds. Stijn Bussels, Karl A.E. Enenkel, Michel Weemans, and Elliott D. Wise, (Intersections, 88), Brill, 2024, p. 464-477.

Chapter 23 Notes on Galileo’s Moon Barbara Baert It’s the stars that are imprisoned in their own power, and they cannot really help us. They merely design the nets, and on cosmic looms they weave the warp thread that we must complete with our own weft. Olga Tokarczuk, Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, p. 212 ∵ In this essay, I highlight a lesser-known aspect of Galileo Galilei’s (1564–1642) character, namely the role that he played in the artistic milieu of his day. As a humanist, Galileo befriended many of the artists in his milieu. Thus, his telescopic ‘eye’ came into contact with the actual eyes of contemporary visual artists. Erwin Panofsky’s essay, “Galileo as a Critic of the Arts: Aesthetic Attitude and Scientific, Thought” (1956), on Galileo’s friendship with Ludovico Cigoli (1559–1613) and, more particularly, his advice fo

Solar energy generation has grown far cheaper and more efficient in recent years, but no matter how much technology advances, fundamental limitations will always remain: solar panels can only generate power during the daytime, clouds often get in the way and much of the sunlight is absorbed by the atmosphere during its journey to the ground. What if instead we could collect solar power up in space and beam it down to the surface?

Sunlight is on average more than ten times as intense at the top of the atmosphere as it is down at the surface of the Earth. And up at a sufficiently high orbit sunlight would be available on a continuous basis, to capture all the sunlight available, able to be beamed to receiving stations across the planet, wherever it is needed.

The basic concept has been around for a long time, but has been given fresh urgency by the need for new sources of clean and secure energy to aid Europe’s trans
