Technology & Applications

Where natural conditions of sufficient water flow and volume exist, electricity can be generated by “run-of-river” hydropower facilities without the need for the creation of a large reservoir. Run-of-river plants can be designed using large flow rates with low head or small flow rates with high head, relying on the natural range of the water…

While Archimedes did not invent the lever, he gave a mathematical proof of the principle involved in his work On the Equilibrium of Planes.  Greek Middle Platonist philosopher Plutarch describes how Archimedes designed block-and-tackle pulley systems, allowing sailors to use the principle of leverage to lift objects that would otherwise have been too heavy to move.  Archimedes’ work on levers caused him to remark:…
