Fabiana - Inventions

A great discovery was the invention of the lamp. The lamp was invented by Thomas Edison in the USA in 1879.The inventor made numerous tries to conclude that carbonized cotton could produce light for 40 consecutive hours.

This invention brought benefits to all humanity. Before, people depended on the candles to survive: the candle has a short lifetime and the light that is produced by it is weaker than that of the lamp. Nowadays people can have nightlife, they can go out more comfortably to have fun, they can read a book or study until the wee hours. The invention of the lamp was a milestone in History.

Unfortunately, lately people aren’t using the electricity wisely. They squander the light overly, forget lamps lit and aren’t looking for new sources of energy. It takes a lot of money to produce this energy.

In my opinion, the invention of the lamp was fantastic! I can’t see my life without lamps. When the power goes out from my home, it is terrible! Depending on candles to perform my daily activities, would be really awful! So it is necessary for people to save energy because one day this energy can end.

The air conditioner.

Willis Carrier invented a mechanical system to condition the air in Syracuse, New York, in 1902. He was a 25-year-old engineer who was called to solve a problem at the textile company Sackett-Wilhelms Lithography and Publishing Co. In wet and hot days the paper absorbed humidity and this dilated the paper, so the colored lines weren’t aligned with those painted in cold and dry days in winter. Willis knew laws of Physics; he thought about taking the humidity out of the factory by decreasing the air temperature with pipes artificially cooled, this was the first process like an air conditioner.

The air conditioner is a way in which the humans can adapt themselves to the environment; it shows as the human being can make good things for everyone. In fact, it is a machine used everywhere and wherever you go. The thermal comfort is the most important sensation preferred by people. Another essential characteristic provided by air conditioning is food conservation. The global population increases everyday, so that it’s necessary more food and, consequently, it needs to store it properly as well.

Thermal machines release an exorbitant quantity of heat by system of heat exchanging. Therefore, systems of air conditioning bring many problems to society, like the employment of energy and the efficiency loss. Few years ago systems of air conditioner released Chlorofluorocarbon, which damaged the ozone layer. However, fortunately nowadays, this gas cannot be released anymore, an international law prohibited it.

According to ideas above, this invention is very important for society and economy, but we have to prepare ourselves for fast changes soon, adaptation and mitigation are necessary because the great use of energy becomes more and more dangerous for Earth life. In my hometown, Fortaleza, I needed this invention so much because there it is very hot and for people to work indoors , air conditioners must be turned on.

BICYCLE INVENTION

I know the bicycle isn´t a current invention, but it was an important one and it can be a good alternative to help the environment.

The bicycle was first ridden in Europe in the 18th century, but it was drawn by Gian Giacomo Caprotti, a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci, in 1493, and it was certified by some researcher.

In 1862, some exclusive ways in Paris were opened, in the city parks, for bicycles. And in 1875, Michaux Company produced the first bicycle of Europe.

In 1868 in Paris, there was the first racing bike, but the winner was an Englishman.

In 1898, bicycles arrived in Brazil coming from France but just in 1948 it was produced by Caloy and Monark.Currently, Brazil is the third biggest bicycle producer of the world.

When I ride a bike, I can feel the wind on my face and it gives me a sensation of freedom.

Bicycles don’t pollute, and they are cheaper than another kind of transportation and I can do exercise.

I rarely ride a bike in SP because I´m afraid of the traffic and the safety of doing it.

My husband likes it very much and he rides his bike on weekends. I need to have courage to do the same because now I have one bike lane near my house on Sundays.

When we went to Paris and Amsterdam last June, we rode bicycles a lot, but there I felt happy and safe because since the 18th century there are permanent bike lanes .
