1612 — Santorio Sanctorius makes the first thermometer for medical use. 1617 — Giuseppe Biancani published the first clear diagram of a thermoscope 1624 — The word thermometer (in its French form) first appeared in La Récréation Mathématique by Jean Leurechon, who describes one with a scale of 8 degrees.
A Celsius Galilean thermometer in two degree gradations. A risen orange orb denotes 24 °C. A Galileo thermometer (or Galilean thermometer) is a thermometer made of a sealed glass cylinder containing a clear liquid and several glass vessels of varying density. The individual floats rise or fall in proportion to their respective density and the ...
It is thought, but not certain, that Galileo Galilei discovered the specific principle on which the device is based and built the first thermoscope in 1593. [citation needed] In the 17th century Galileo mentioned to his friend Cesare Marsili that he invented a thermoscope as far back as 1606. [6]
Galileo thermometer: invented by Galileo Galilei in 1593. Toffoli gate: a universal reversible logic gate invented by Tommaso Toffoli. Public toilets: latrines were part of the sanitation system of ancient Rome, placed near or as part of public baths .
1593 – Galileo Galilei builds a first modern thermoscope. But it is possible the invention was by Santorio Santorio or independently around same time by Cornelis Drebbel. The principle of operation was known in ancient Greece. c. 1611 –1613 – Francesco Sagredo or Santorio Santorio, put a numerical scale on a thermoscope.
By the end of the century, Europeans were masters of logarithms, electricity, the telescope and microscope, calculus, universal gravitation, Newton's Laws of Motion, air pressure, and calculating machines due to the work of the first scientists of the Scientific Revolution, including Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, René Descartes, Pierre ...
1610 – Galileo Galilei: discovered the Galilean moons of Jupiter; 1613 – Galileo Galilei: Inertia; 1621 – Willebrord Snellius: Snell's law; 1632 – Galileo Galilei: The Galilean principle (the laws of motion are the same in all inertial frames) 1660 – Blaise Pascal: Pascal's law; 1660 – Robert Hooke: Hooke's law; 1662 – Robert ...
The Shortt–Synchronome clock, an electrical driven pendulum clock designed in 1921, was the first clock to be a more accurate timekeeper than the Earth itself. [167] A succession of innovations and discoveries led to the invention of the modern quartz timer. The vacuum tube oscillator was invented in 1912. [168]
