Technikgeschichte mit fischertechnik

Take a journey through the history of technology - from the early days to the twentieth century. Dirk Fox and Thomas Püttmann present 16 milestones of outstanding technical innovations of mankind, their history and their inventors - from the pulley block to the clock, the calculating machine, the steam engine and the helicopter. These inventions still shape technical progress today. Using fischertechnik models, the authors explain the functions and technical background of these outstanding achievements. By embedding them in their historical context, they illustrate the challenges which the inventors had to overcome and underline their importance for further development. Numerous photos and illustrations illustrate the explanations. The models are not only suitable for reproduction, but also for d.
