By combining the creative mechanism design methodology with the mechanical evolution and variation theory, all feasible and appropriate designs that are consistent with the science theories and techniques of the subject's time period can be systematically recreated. South pointing chariots, walking machines (the wooden horse carriage and the wooden cow and gliding horse), the seismograph, and the astronomical mechanical clock, are used as illustrated examples. The cultural, scientific, and technological backgrounds of these achievements are explained. Before new literature and/or hardware evidences are found, this work provides a novel direction and a unique tool for studying the lost machinery in ancient China and around the world. Furthermore, after reacquaintance with invaluable ancient wisdom, we anticipate stimulating innovative machinery for our future. 0aENGINEERING. 0aSCIENCExHISTORY. 0aMECHANICAL ENGINEERING.14aENGINEERING.24aMACHINERY AND MACHINE ELEMENTS.24aHISTORY OF SCIENCE.24aMECHANICAL ENGINEERING.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z9781402064593 0aHistory Of Mechanism And Machine Science,x1875-3442 ;v340uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-6460-9zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
