Overview

Who was Archimedes and did his discoveries match up to his boasting? Did Leonardo's designs actually work? What sparked Edison's invention of the light bulb, and did Bell's early telephone ring? Tough challenges lead to another ten mind-boggling inventions in this title of the Crafty Inventions series. Find out why Marconi tied aerials to balloons and kites, how the Wright Brothers' hobby of bird-watching helped them to perfect airplane control and why Trevithick nicknamed his steam locomotives OEpuffer whims. Then model your own inventions from a cocktail stick bi-plane and a corkscrew helicopter to a radar helmet and a big mouth megaphone.
