Steam turbine
Steam turbine, historical artwork. This is an artists impression of what a turbine described by Hero of Alexandria may have looked like. Hero was a Greek mathematician and inventor in the 1st century. The hollow ball (lower centre) had paddles attached around its circumference. It was turned by steam that was produced underneath it. The turning motion could then be utilised, for example to mill grain. Artwork taken from History of wonderful inventions, London, 1849

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical artwork of a steam turbine, offering us an artist's interpretation of what Hero of Alexandria's invention may have looked like. Hero, the brilliant Greek mathematician and inventor from the 1st century, envisioned a hollow ball at the lower center of this contraption with paddles attached around its circumference. Steam generated underneath this apparatus powered the rotation of the ball, creating a turning motion that could be harnessed for various purposes such as milling grain. The mono chrome illustration beautifully captures the essence of this groundbreaking technology that revolutionized energy production in ancient times. It takes us back to an era where innovation was driven by sheer intellect and imagination rather than advanced machinery. Derived from "History of wonderful inventions" published in London in 1849, this artwork is not just a depiction but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history. It reminds us that even centuries ago, individuals like Hero were able to conceive remarkable concepts that laid the foundation for modern advancements. As we admire this piece, we are transported into an era where science and art intertwined seamlessly to shape our understanding of energy and propel civilization forward. This print stands as both an homage to Hero's brilliance and a reminder that progress is built upon the foundations laid by those who came before us.
