Zhang Heng’s seismoscope und turbine: was sie gemeinsam haben
- Schritt 1. Zhang Heng’s seismoscope — nutzt — Pendulum. An internal pendulum (according to reconstructions).
- Schritt 2. Pendulum — nutzt — Newton’s laws. The swing is described by Newtonian mechanics.
- Schritt 3. Newton’s laws — umfasst — Reaction force. Reaction is Newton’s third law.
- Schritt 4. Reaction force — wird verwendet in — Heron’s aeolipile. Jets of steam spin the ball by reaction force.
- Schritt 5. Heron’s aeolipile — entwickelte sich zu — Turbine. The aeolipile is the oldest ancestor of the steam turbine.
