First Edition of this interesting work by the American-born mechanical engineer and inventor. Maxim invented the Maxim gun, the first portable fully automatic machine gun, a curling iron, a pocket menthol inhaler and larger steam inhaler, aircraft artillery, and various other devices. He also claimed to have invented the electric light bulb, becoming involved in several lengthy patent disputes with Thomas Edison. He also experimented with flying machines and was the originator in 1904 of an immensely popular amusement park ride that is still in use today (The 'Captive Flying Machine'). "A gifted and versatile inventor, Maxim received 122 United States patents and 149 British patents. He devoted much time and money near the turn of the century to aeronautical experiments. An airship he built in 1894 to study the lift and thrust of various wing shapes and propellers actually rose from the ground, but he had not developed methods for controlling his machine in the air and did not achieve manned flight. He had, however, using an incredibly heavy, steam-propelled machine, proved that mechanical flight in heavier-than-air machines was possible." (encyclopedia) The present work contains chapters on air currents and the flight of birds, flying of kites, screws, experiments with apparatus attached to a rotating arm Crystal Palace experiments, hints as to the building of flying machines steering by means of a gyroscope, the shape and efficiency of aeroplanes - the action of aeroplanes and the power required expressed in the simplest terms some recent machines.
