Archimedes (~287 - 212 BC) His father is thought to have been an astronomer, an interest he passed on to his son. Archimedes probably spent some time in Egypt early in his career, and probably studied Euclid at the Great Library of Alexandria. While in Egypt, he invented the Archimedes screw. Diodorus Siculus (first century BC), wrote in his Bibliotheke "Most remarkable of all, they draw off streams of water by the so-called Egyptian screws, which Archimedes of Syracuse invented when he went by ship to Egypt." Archimedes screws are still being used today He resided for most of his life in Syracuse, the principal city-state in Sicily. Archimedes was on intimate terms with Syracuse's king, Hiero II, and served as his military advisor. back next index

The Production of Electricity by a Generator Driven by a Buoyancy engine by denis alan de Shon 7242 Seven Oaks Avenue Baton Rouge, LA 70806 majden@cox.net Working Title : Buoyant Power, My name is denis alan de Shon; I'm a researcher for Advanced Consulting Group in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I had been researching the works of Archimedes of Syracuse and other Greek Natural Philosophers when I saw a means for employing Archimedes' findings in an engine to produce electricity, This is accomplished by the introduction of excess pressurized gases from industry, both compressed air as well as compressed petroleum gases, into a buoyancy engine which turns a generator to produce electricity from the latent power in relatively low power compressed gases. Here's a brief History of Buoyancy. Archimedes of Syracuse was a Genius Greek Mathematician and Natural Philosopher. Recall, he's the one who jumped out of his tub at the Syracuse Baths and ran naked toward his home shouting "Eureka, Eureka" (I Have Found). In his bath, he realized that the mass of his body disposed in the tub displaced a certain amount of water.

A ROYAL ROAD, AFTER ALL During the 4th century B.C., Greek geometry burst its bonds and went on to the tremendous discoveries of the "age of giants." And Greek culture, too, burst from the mainland of Hellas and spread to most of the eastern Mediterranean. Both developments were connected with the romantic figure of Alexander the Great. After Plato's time, teachers and alumni from the Academy had gone on to found schools of their own. In particular, Plato's most famous associate, the great philosopher Aristotle, had set up the Lyceum in Athens, and started the systematic classification of human knowledge. And Aristotle's most renowned pupil was the warrior king Alexander of Macedon, who tried to conquer the world. In thirteen years, Alexander extended his rule over Greece proper, and Ionia, Phoenicia, Egypt, and the vast Persian domains as far as India. Then he died, and his empire broke up. But throughout those far-flung lands, he had founded Greek cities and planted the seeds of Greek civilization-the Greek language, Greek art, and, of course, Greek mathematics. Mathematicians traveled with his armies. And there is even a

ARCHIMEDES' POLYGON METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE VALUE OF Pi "If a person does not keep pace with their companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer" Henry David Thoreau ARCHIMEDES OF SYRACUSE (Born 287 B.C. - 212 B.C.) "Give me but one firm spot on which to stand, and I will move the earth." Archimedes of Syracuse (ca. 287-212 B.C.) was an ingenious mathematician, physicist, engineer and inventor. He was the first to develop a method for calculating Pi to a useful degree of accuracy. Pi is equal to the circumference (C) of a given circle divided by the diameter (D) of the circle (Pi = C/D). The diameter is a straight line and consequently easy to measure, but the circumference is a curved line therefore, it's measure could only be poorly estimated. Archimedes solved the curved line measuring problem by first constructing an inscribed regular polygon within the a given circle and adding up the measure of the sides (the perimeter). He clearly understood the perimeter's (P) measure would be less than the circle's circumference. Therefore, he constructed a second regular polygon circumscribed on the outside of the circle. This polygon's perimeter measure would be greater than the circle's circumference. He then substituted the average of the two polygon's perimeters as the circle's circumference "C". His equation was Pi = (polygon's perimeter didvided by polygon's diameter) or =P/D. He measured the diameter "D" of his constructed circle. Using a 96 sided regular polygon, his calculations for Pi using the formula, Pi = C/D produced the following results:

Please note: the Cynicism of the originator of this philosophy, Diogenes, had little in common with what we today understand as cynicism. Even before Philip and Alexander had arrived on the Greek scenethe constant warring among the Greeks, the hunger of Athens for power and dominion over its neighbors, the general sense that things were not right politically in Greecehad caused Diogenes to begin to look to inner or personal integrity as a substitute for lost public integrity (which had once been the focus of the moral life in Greece).

UGESEDDEL 10 Afleveringsopgave til uge 46 Med venlig hilsen Brian Bech Nielsen Archimedes of Syracuse (ca. 287-ca. 212 BC) Greek mathematician who flourished in Sicily. He is generally considered to be the greatest mathematician of ancient times. Most of the facts about his life come from a biography about the Roman soldier Marcellus written by the Roman biographer Plutarch. Archimedes performed numerous geometric proofs using the rigid geometric formalism outlined by Euclid, excelling especially at computing areas and volumes using the method of exhaustion. He was especially proud of his discovery for finding the volume of a sphere, showing that it is two thirds the volume of the smallest cylinder that can contain it. At his request, the figure of a sphere and cylinder was engraved on his tombstone. In fact, it is often said that Archimedes would have invented calculus if the Greeks had only possessed a more tractable mathematical notation. By inscribing and circumscribing polygons on a circle, for instance, he was able to constrain the value of (pi ) between 3 10/71 and 3+1/7. Archimedes was also an outstanding engineer, formulating Archimedes' principle of buoyancy and the law of the lever. Legend has it that Archimedes discovered his principle of buoyancy, which states that the buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the liquid displaced, while taking a bath, upon which he is supposed to have run naked through the streets of Syracuse shouting "Eureka!" (I have found it). Archimedes is also purported to have invented the Archimedean screw. Some of Archimedes's geometric proofs were actually motivated by mechanical arguments which led him to the correct answer. During the Roman siege of Syracuse, he is said to have single-handedly defended the city by constructing lenses to focus the Sun's light on Roman ships and huge cranes to turn them upside down. When the Romans finally broke the siege, Archimedes was killed by a Roman soldier after snapping at him "Don't disturb my circles," a reference to a geometric figure he had outlined on the sand.

Comparable work in solid geometry was displayed in his On the Sphere and Cylinder and On Conoids and Spheroids . Equally original was Archimedes’ On Floating Bodies , the first application of mathematics to hydrostatics, and his work on the lever, specific gravity, and the centre of gravity of a variety of bodies. In pure mathematics he succeeded in solving cubic equations, squaring a parabola, and summing higher series as well as, in The Sand Reckoner , providing a notation for the representation of very large numbers. In The Method , an important work discovered only in 1906, Archimedes described how the use of mechanical principles firs led him to consider such propositions as “the area of any segment of a parabola is 4/3 times that the triangle with the same base and height”. His mathematical proof, by the method of exhaustion, came later.

His methods anticipated the integral calculus 2,000 years before Newton and Leibniz Archimedes was a native of Syracuse, Sicily. Stories from Plutarch, Livy, and others describe machines invented by Archimedes for the defence of Syracuse. These include the catapult, the compound pulley and a burning-mirror. Among Archimedes most famous works is Measurement of the Circle , in which he put the exact value of between the values 3 and 3 . This he obtained by circumscribing and inscribing a circle with regular polygons having 96 sides. Archimedes proved, among many other geometrical results, that the volume of a sphere is two-thirds the volume of a circumscribed cylinder. This he considered his most significant accomplishments, requesting that a representation of a cylinder circumscribing a sphere be inscribed on his tomb. His fascination with geometry is beautifully described by Plutarch.
