how do engineers create new machines that couldn’t be done before? How do they discover or come up with new technologies?
In: 2
There are basically two ways inventions are done. The first is that the engineer has a problem that he wants to solve, for example, he knows how to weave by hand, but could he make a machine to do it?
The second is noticing something while working on a completely different thing but noticing that something can be used to solve another problem, for instance he is working with radiation and discovers that if he sends radiation through his hand to a foto negative, his bones block most of the radiation and he can “see” through his hand
