    Headphones would not have been invented had it not been for the revolutionary combination of beneficial concepts in both electricity and magnetism. Not that much of a scientific fiction anymore, hovering vehicles seem achievable through magnetic levitation using Lenz’s law, as demonstrated by the already existing maglev trains in Japan, South Korea, and China. It is true that power supply is problematic and expensive. However, it is a decent beginning that shows the possibility of having such modes of transportation. Perhaps, in the future, electricity could be less expensive and more efficient by developing new methods of production, such as the use of nuclear energy to generate electricity. Indeed, electromagnetism proves that electricity and magnets are not merely for having lights and air conditioning, or even sticking notes to the refrigerator. Electromagnetism is an essential concept behind most of today’s modern…

    Train industry was one of the most important industries in the modern human culture since it was a very useful way to transport goods and people, which was the concern of many scientists in the last 2000 years. Matthew Murray and George Stephenson made great contributions in the train industry. Matthew invented the first steam powered locomotive train while George came up with the idea of coal transporting trains. Old trains were depending on steam for power. In 1829, the Rocket was the first steam locomotive train built and it carried passengers between Liverpool and Manchester in England. In 1940s, another steam train was built but with very strong engines that it could pull freight trains with hundreds of cars of cargo across the United…

    The background of Locomotive by Brian Floca can be traced back to 1869. As a picture book, older age people can appreciate its details and history. Brian Floca takes his readers to a cross-country journey with him in Locomotive. According to one of its book reviews, “In a collegial direct address, he invites readers to join a family-mother, daughter and son- on one of the first passenger trips from Omaha to Sacramento after the meeting of the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific in May 1869” (Kirkus), Locomotive illustrates the trip in details.…

    “The Tube Train,” by Cyril E. Power is a color linocut painting in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. As the title suggest it’s a painting of the inside of a train filled with elegant people from the early 1900’s. The first thing that caught my eye when looking at this painting was the vantage point in the front of the train, which the artist used to illustrate the view of the train as if you are sitting in the back looking forward. The feeling of space was also established by the position of the passengers with in the train and the use of vanishing point line perspective where all lines are pointing towards the front of the train in a diagonal recession which makes…
