Engineers, as practitioners of
engineering, are
professionals who
invent,
design, analyze, build and test
machines,
complex systems,
structures,
gadgets and
materials to fulfill functional objectives and requirements while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety and cost. The word engineer (
Latiningeniator, the origin of the Ir. in the title of engineer in countries like Belgium and The Netherlands) is derived from the Latin words ingeniare ("to contrive, devise") and ingenium ("cleverness"). The foundational qualifications of a licensed professional engineer typically include a four-year
bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline, or in some jurisdictions, a
master's degree in an engineering discipline plus four to six years of peer-reviewed professional practice (culminating in a project report or thesis) and passage of engineering board examinations. (Full article...)
Shale oil extraction is usually performed above ground (ex situ processing) by mining the oil shale and then treating it in
processing facilities. Other modern technologies perform the processing underground (on-site or in situ processing) by applying heat and extracting the oil via
oil wells. (Full article...)
A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through
electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction produces an
electromotive force within a conductor which is exposed to time varying
magnetic fields. Transformers are used to increase or decrease the alternating voltages in electric power applications.
A varying current in the transformer's primary winding creates a varying
magnetic flux in the transformer core and a varying field impinging on the transformer's secondary winding. This varying
magnetic field at the secondary winding induces a varying
electromotive force (EMF) or voltage in the secondary winding due to electromagnetic induction. Making use of
Faraday's Law (discovered in 1831) in conjunction with high
magnetic permeability core properties, transformers can be designed to efficiently change
AC voltages from one voltage level to another within power networks.
Little Boy was developed by
Lieutenant CommanderFrancis Birch's group at the
Manhattan Project's
Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II, a reworking of their abandoned
Thin Man nuclear bomb. Like Thin Man, it was a
gun-type fission weapon. It derived its explosive power from the
nuclear fission of
uranium-235, whereas Thin Man was based on fission of
plutonium-239. Fission was accomplished by shooting a hollow cylinder (the "bullet") onto a solid cylinder of the same material (the "target") by means of a charge of
nitrocellulose propellant powder. Little Boy contained 64 kilograms (141 lb) of
highly enriched uranium, although less than a kilogram underwent nuclear fission. Its components were fabricated at three different plants so that no one would have a copy of the complete design. Unlike the implosion design, which required sophisticated coordination of shaped explosive charges, the gun-type design was considered almost certain to work so it was never tested before its first use at Hiroshima.

1869 Birdsill Holly fire-hydrant Birdsill Holly Jr. (November 8, 1820 – April 27, 1894) was an American mechanical engineer and inventor of water
hydraulics devices. He is known for inventing mechanical devices that improved city water systems and patented an improved fire hydrant that is similar to those used currently for firefighting. Holly was a co-inventor of the Silsby
steam fire engine. He founded the Holly Manufacturing Company that developed into the larger Holly Steam Combination Company that distributed heat from a central station and developed commercial
district heating for cities in the United States and Canada. (Full article...)

The radius of maximum wind of a tropical cyclone lies just within the eyewall of an intense tropical cyclone, such as
Hurricane Isabel from 2003 The radius of maximum wind (RMW) is the distance between the center of a
cyclone and its band of strongest
winds. It is a parameter in atmospheric dynamics and
tropical cyclone forecasting. The highest
rainfall rates occur near the RMW of
tropical cyclones. The extent of a cyclone's
storm surge and its maximum potential intensity can be determined using the RMW. As
maximum sustained winds increase, the RMW decreases. Recently, RMW has been used in descriptions of
tornadoes. When designing
buildings to prevent against failure from atmospheric pressure change, RMW can be used in the calculations. (Full article...)

Freeman Dyson, the first scientist to explore the concept A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical
megastructure that encompasses a
star and captures a large percentage of its
solar power output. The concept is a
thought experiment that attempts to imagine how a
spacefaring civilization would meet its energy requirements once those requirements exceed what can be generated from the home planet's resources alone. Because only a tiny fraction of a star's energy emissions reaches the surface of any orbiting
planet, building structures encircling a star would enable a
civilization to harvest far more energy.
The first modern imagining of such a structure was by
Olaf Stapledon in his science fiction novel Star Maker (1937). The concept was later explored by the physicist
Freeman Dyson in his 1960 paper "Search for Artificial Stellar Sources of
Infrared Radiation". Dyson speculated that such structures would be the logical consequence of the escalating energy needs of a technological civilization and would be a necessity for its long-term survival. A signature of such spheres detected in astronomical searches could be an indicator of
extraterrestrial life. (Full article...)

Edmundo Gómez Moreno (born 17 February 1991), better known by his stage name Raymix, is a Mexican musician and
aerospace engineer. Nicknamed El Rey de la Electrocumbia ("The King of Electrocumbia"), Raymix started his music career in the early 2010s, when he joined a trance project called Light & Wave with two other Mexican musicians. Their song "Feeling the City" was featured on the
Armin van Buuren radio show A State of Trance. In 2013, Raymix was invited to work in a
NASA educative internship, where he helped to develop a satellite.
ODB++ Design logo from
Siemens ODB++ is a proprietary
CAD-to-
CAM data exchange format used in the design and manufacture of electronic devices. Its purpose is to exchange
printed circuit board design information between design and manufacturing and between design tools from different
EDA/ECAD vendors. It was originally developed by Valor Computerized Systems, Ltd. (acquired in 2010 by
Mentor Graphics which was later acquired by
Siemens in 2016) as the job description format for their CAM system.
ODB stands for open
database, but its openness is disputed, as discussed below. The '++' suffix, evocative of
C++, was added in 1997 with the addition of component descriptions. There are two versions of ODB++: the original (now controlled by Mentor) and an
XML version called ODB++(X) that Valor developed and donated to the
IPC organization in an attempt to merge GenCAM (IPC-2511) and ODB++ into Offspring (IPC-2581). (Full article...)
The tubes were constructed using the
shield method and are each 6,550 feet (2,000 m) long and 15.5 feet (4.7 m) wide. The interiors are lined with cast-iron "rings" formed with concrete. The tubes descend 91 to 95 feet (28 to 29 m) below the
mean high water level of the East River, with a maximum gradient of 3.1 percent. During the tunnel's construction, a house at
58 Joralemon Street in Brooklyn was converted into a ventilation building and emergency exit. (Full article...)

Dent in 1928
Beryl May DentMIEE (10 May 1900 – 9 August 1977) was an English
mathematical physicist, technical librarian, and a programmer of early analogue and digital computers to solve electrical engineering problems. She was born in
Chippenham, Wiltshire, the eldest daughter of schoolteachers. The family left Chippenham in 1901, after her father became head teacher of the then recently established
Warminster County School. In 1923, she graduated from the
University of Bristol with
First Class Honours in
applied mathematics. She was awarded the
Ashworth Hallett scholarship by the university and was accepted as a postgraduate student at
Newnham College, Cambridge.
She returned to
Bristol in 1925, after being appointed a researcher in the Physics Department at the University of Bristol, with her salary being paid by the
Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. In 1927,
John Lennard-Jones was appointed Professor of
Theoretical physics, a chair being created for him, with Dent becoming his research assistant in theoretical physics. Lennard‑Jones pioneered the theory of interatomic and intermolecular forces at Bristol and she became one of his first collaborators. They published six papers together from 1926 to 1928, dealing with the forces between atoms and ions, that were to become the foundation of her master's thesis. Later work has shown that the results they obtained had direct application to
atomic force microscopy by predicting that non-contact imaging is possible only at small tip-sample separations. (Full article...)
A chicken gun or flight impact simulator is a large-diameter, compressed-air gun used to fire bird carcasses at aircraft components in order to simulate high-speed
bird strikes during the aircraft's flight.
Jet engines and aircraft
windshields are particularly vulnerable to damage from such strikes, and are the most common target in such tests. Although various species of bird are used in aircraft testing and certification, the device acquired the common name of "chicken gun" as
chickens are the most commonly used 'ammunition' owing to their ready availability. (Full article...)

Fizeau–Foucault apparatus may refer to either of two nineteenth-century experiments to measure the speed of light:
A voltage doubler is an electronic circuit which charges capacitors from the input voltage and switches these charges in such a way that, in the ideal case, exactly twice the voltage is produced at the output as at its input.
The simplest of these circuits is a form of
rectifier which take an AC voltage as input and outputs a doubled DC voltage. The switching elements are simple diodes and they are driven to switch state merely by the alternating voltage of the input. DC-to-DC voltage doublers cannot switch in this way and require a driving circuit to control the switching. They frequently also require a switching element that can be controlled directly, such as a
transistor, rather than relying on the voltage across the switch as in the simple AC-to-DC case. (Full article...)
The Castaing machine is a device used to add lettering and decoration to the edge of a coin. Such lettering was necessitated by counterfeiting and edge clipping, which was a common problem resulting from the uneven and irregular
hammered coinage. When
Aubin Olivier introduced
milled coinage to France, he also developed a method of marking the edges with lettering which would make it possible to detect if metal had been shaved from the edge. This method involved using a collar, into which the metal flowed from the pressure of the press. This technique was slower and more costly than later methods. France abandoned milled coinage in favour of hammering in 1585.
England experimented briefly with milled coinage, but it wasn't until
Peter Blondeau brought his method of minting coins there in the mid-seventeenth century that such coinage began in earnest in that country. Blondeau also invented a different method of marking the edge, which was, according to him, faster and less costly than the method pioneered by Olivier. Though Blondeau's exact method was secretive, numismatists have asserted that it likely resembled the later device invented by
Jean Castaing. Castaing's machine marked the edges by means of two steel rulers, which, when a coinage blank was forced between them, imprinted legends or designs on its edge. Castaing's device found favour in France, and it was eventually adopted in other nations, including Britain and the United States, but it was eventually phased out by mechanised minting techniques.

research and development project, TSP operated as a
distribution-level resource for SCE and for calendar year 2020, SCE reported that TSP operated in the
wholesale energy market with revenue exceeding operating and maintenance costs. In 2021, SCE began the decommissioning of TSP, which was followed by formal decommissioning by state regulators in 2022. The physical dismantlement of TSP is expected to be completed by the end of 2022. (Full article...)
