  • Engineering Greats

    Ive just been watching THE HISTORY CHANNEL it was about Building the BELL ROCK LIGHTHOUSE. With all this modern technology around today you really feel for the Guys that built it. The saying "They do'nt make them like that anymore" Is very True.
    The oldest existing rock Lighthouse in the British Isles is the tower on the Bell, or Inchcape, Rock a long and treacherous reef lying in the North Sea, some 12 miles East of Dundee and in the fairway of vessels plying to and from the Firths of Tay and Forth.

                          Check out Nikolai Tesla's work for some visionary thinking.

                          Tesla Towers in particular. Fascinating stuff that never got the financial support it should perhaps have.
