In the quaint village of Trenchard, Bob Templeton and Tom Eves find themselves with empty pockets and a head full of bright ideas. Their dreams of invention are hindered by a lack of funds, until an unexpected registered letter arrives. Bob's generous aunt has come to their rescue with a substantial sum of money. Suddenly, their inventive minds ignite with possibilities as they imagine the levitator, smoke machine, perpetual pump, and more. With newfound resources, they embark on a journey of invention, navigating the hilarious twists and turns of their creative endeavors. George Herbert Ely's 'Bright Ideas: A Record of Invention and Misinvention' is a delightful tale of friendship, creativity, and the unpredictable paths to success.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
You've probably heard of a few inventors and their bright ideas..*Alexander Graham Bell and his telephone *George Stevenson and his Rocket (which was really a train) *John Logie Baird and his television. But have you heard that... *Bell didn't invent the phone, but he did make a weird machine out of hay and a human ear *Stevenson didn't invent the train, but he did spend a lot of time collecting gas in bladders *Baird's telly was useless, and so were his thermostatic socks? Yes, even though they're dead, inventors are still full of surprises-and the ten in this book are more surprising than most. Now you can get the inside story from their long lost notebooks, read the ground-breaking news stories as their inventions hit the headlines, and find out all about the bright ideas that changed the world.
"The wheel, the alphabet, and the telephone were important inventions. How did they change history?"--

Let Sparky show you the way in this definitive guide to the 50 most important inventions of the last 1,000 years, from eyeglasses to the ever-present internet itself. The little lightning-bolt character talks children through the text, providing quips and comments on the science, context and historical development of technology (fancy getting burnt at the stake for heresy?) and the spreads are accompanied by a fantastic mix of photos and illustrations. A perfect addition to young readers' bookshelves.
