 These four inventions: the Electromechanical Relay, the Revolver, Morse Code, and the Circuit Breaker are the inventions I will write about this week. The Electromechanical Relay uses an electromagnet to flip an electromechanical switch.  The Electromechanical Relay is used in things like thermostats.  The thermostat figures out what the temperature of the room is.  IfContinue reading “Week 8 Inventions”

I will talk about and explain how these four inventions: the microphone, the typewriter, the braille reading system, and the sewing machine helped make life easier.
