Hydraulic engineering becomes art

July 12, 2013 By Mary Gannon

James-Capper-Hydraulic-Sculpture

I stumbled across an article recently about this young man, James Capper, in the U.K., who combines his love of hydraulics and engineering with his art. His movable sculptures use hydraulic cylinders to move throughout his exhibitions. There are no wheels on his devices, just platforms or legs that walk with the power of hydraulics. […]

7 most interesting classified engineering projects

June 11, 2013 By Paul Heney

An editorial contact of mine recently told me about his friend, Gerald Bull, and Bull’s work on several highly classified engineering projects, including Project Babylon. Babylon involved using a proposed gun-fired satellite launcher as a means of super artillery. Bull was eventually assassinated in Brussels in 1990 and questions remain about who was behind it. […]
