Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the theories and principles proposed by the author on the topic of aerial navigation. The author's plan for an aerial navigation apparatus is based on the use of a steel cylinder, vacuum, and electric motors. The author's ideas draw upon the scientific principles and inventions of the day, such as the strength of steel plates and the use of storage battery power to drive electric motors, and places them within the broader context of centuries of attempts to achieve aerial navigation by humans. Through a careful analysis of the principles of buoyancy and atmospheric pressure, the author develops a plan that, if successful, would have revolutionized transportation. This book is of particular interest to those interested in the history of science, engineering, and human attempts to conquer the skies.
