What do the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World have in common? Most of these structures made the list because their grand scale inspired awe in travelers and scholars. The Colossus of Rhodes, for example, towered 110 feet (33.5 meters) above the Mediterranean Sea until an earthquake brought the bronze giant to its knees. The largest of the three Pyramids of Giza -- Khufu -- reigned as the world's tallest building for 4,000 years.

Modern engineers continue to up the ante when it comes to building big. Just look at the Three Gorges Dam, the monstrously large hydroelectric plant spanning the Yangtze River in China, or the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper soaring over Dubai, and you'll get the idea.

Others look for a different kind of shock value. These avant-garde designers and architects embrace the surreal by creating structures that range from the slightly weird to the completely bizarre. Their final products may not impress you with their sheer size, but their imagination-bending, gravity-defying qualities will induce a few double takes and more than a few OMGs.

We've lined up 10 of these engineering marvels for you. First up is a tower that makes the one in Pisa look like an upstanding member of the architectural community.

Christopher Madden journeys through history to select the greatest engineering marvels of humanity from the ancient world, the medieval period and modern times. But do you agree with his 15 choices?

Humanity has gone from strength to strength since our early days, fending off large predators. Mankind's greatest engineering marvels do not just encompass the modern ones you might instinctively think of.

Join us as we dive into the ancient past and journey through history to revisit the greatest engineering marvels of mankind. (We wanted to include fire but this was actually developed by Homo Erectus around 1 to 1.5 million years ago.) The following 15 are a selection of engineering marvels throughout recorded history. To make a level playing field, we split them into the ancient world, medieval period and modern world. [Editor's note - this is author's personal selection and doesn't represent the view of Engineers Ireland. There's no sign of Newgrange, for a start! Let us know what you think.]

Ancient World pre-500 AD
1. Projectile weaponry (time immemorial-present day) 2. The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa (2nd century AD) 2. The Great Pyramid of Giza (2560 BC) 4. Stonehenge (3000-1500 BC)
The impact of these engineering marvels cannot be underestimated. Whether it be the humble bow and arrow or the modern rifle, projectile weapons have enabled mankind to defend itself from predators, hunt prey and push development to gain advantage through warfare. After all, necessity is the mother of invention.

Kom el-Shoqqafa means literally 'piles of shreds'. It is rumoured that the complex was found by pure chance in 1900 when a donkey-drawn cart fell into a pit. The site represents a melting pot of ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman architectural influence. The site is literally carved into the bedrock of the region into a labyrinthian complex of tombs in Alexandria, Egypt.

This Great Pyramid (or the Pyramid of Khufu) in Egypt gained notoriety worldwide by being one of the oldest and largest pyramids. The Great Pyramid remains the only one still largely intact of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Labourers harvested 2.3 million limestone blocks, lifting them with little mechanical assistance. The blocks traveled 500 miles away. It took nearly 20 years to build the Great Pyramid, finally getting finished in 2560 BC.

Standing proud in the idyllic rolling hills of Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge is an incredible testament to the ancients. It is also a worthy member of humanity's greatest engineering marvels. Consisting of large stone monoliths sourced from all across the United Kingdom, its construction must have been a massive undertaking. Some of the larger Saracen stones weigh in, on average, at 50 tonnes.

The Colosseum, or the Flavian Amphitheatre, is probably the most iconic Roman structure that we know of today. Built of concrete and sand with a seating capacity of 50,000 spectators, it is the largest amphitheatre ever built. The Flavian Amphitheatre is a real testament to the ingenuity of the Romans and humanity in general.

Middle Ages 500-1500 AD
4. The Great Wall of China (7th century BCE-1644)
Incorporating Persian and Mughal architecture, the Taj Mahal, the ultimate expression of love, is a worthy addition to the list. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (reigned 1628-1658), to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

Meaning 'Holy Wisdom', Hagia Sophia is a domed monument originally built as a cathedral in Constantinople (now Istanbul), Turkey. Originally built as a Christian cathedral during the Byzantine Empire, it has changed hands several times and served as a Mmsque and now finally a museum. "Hagia Sophia's dimensions are formidable for any structure not built of steel," writes Helen Gardner and Fred Kleiner in their book Gardner's Art Through the Ages: A Global History. "In plan, it is about 270 feet [82m] long and 240 feet [73m] wide. The dome is 108 feet [33m] in diameter and its crown rises some 180 feet [55m] above the pavement."
1. International Space Station (1998-present day)
3. Leaning Tower of Pisa (1399)
2. Sustained powered flight (c. 1903)
Torre Pendente di Pisa in Italian and finally completed in 1399, it was originally 60m tall with 251 steps and weighing in at 14,500 tonnes. Pisa, meaning 'marshy lands' in Ancient Greek, should give you a hint as to why the tower is now leaning. This oversight by the original engineers has ironically catapulted this structure into infamy.
4. Electrification (1850-present day)
Stretching for 21,196km, the Great Wall of China is the world's longest wall and biggest ancient architecture. It stretches between the beaches of Qinhuangdao, the rugged mountains around Beijing, to a desert corridor between tall the mountain ranges at Jiayu Pass. The most iconic part of the wall, is in fact, the Ming Dynasty section of the wall, which stretches 8,851km. The Great Wall has been rebuilt, maintained and enhanced throughout history with the majority of the existing wall from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
5. The Channel Tunnel (1990) This article was written by Christopher Madden and is reproduced with kind permission from InterestingEngineering.com. Find the link to the original article here.
Meaning 'Old Peak' or 'Old Mountain', Machu Pichu is divided into two parts: the Hana and Urin. Many of the stones used to build the citadel weigh in at about 50 tonnes, some needing to be transported to the site by hand without the use of wheels. Structures at the site were built with a technique called ashlar, whereby stones were cut to fit together without mortar. The masonry work is so precise that it is said you cannot even fit a needle between the joints.

Modern Age 1500-present

The pinnacle of human collaboration the ISS was a global effort, involving 15 nations, 100,000 people and costing a modest $100 billion to boot. It currently orbits at about 354km above Earth is a real testament to the ingenuity of man.

First scientifically tackled by George Cayley in the first half of the 19th century, further developed by the likes of Otto Lilienthal in the 19th century and 'perfected' by the Wright brothers, sustained powered flight is a truly incredible achievement. Requiring a multi-disciplinary collaboration from aeronautics to electrical and mechanical engineering, modern aircraft would be as magical to people a few hundred years ago as a UFO would to us today.

On 6 August 1991, the World Wide Web went live. This event was celebrated globally by the press. At the time, the vast majority of people did not know was it was, but would soon realise the immensity of its potential. The internet has become so important to humanity that it would be inconceivable to live without it. This is possibly the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th century. It brings the entire knowledge of mankind to our fingertips and directly connects peoples of all nations. Its importance to us has yet to be fully realised.

Once called "the greatest engineering achievement of the 20th century" by the National Academy of Engineering, it would be difficult to disagree. With the merest flick of a finger, every second of every day, each one of us taps into vast sources of energy. Harnessing the power of ancient dead plants, tapping the power of the atom or our sun, mankind has produced a readily available and easily transported energy source.

Carved into the bedrock of the English Channel, this monumental engineering achievement. It connects Folkstone, England with Coquelles, Pas-de-Calais, near Calais in northern France. It stretches for 50.5km and at its lowest point is 75m deep. At 37.9km, the tunnel has the longest undersea portion of any tunnel in the world. It is recognised as one of the ' Seven Wonders of the Modern World ' by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Mega structures are nowadays commonly seen almost everywhere in the world. Because of the advancement of technology and the improvement of machinery, tall sky scrapers and many other infrastructures are already made possible. Ten engineering marvels of engineers are as follows.

10. Danyang Kunshan Grand Bridge

The bridge was inaugurated on 30th of June in 2011. The Span of bridge is 260 feet with a basement of 2000 pillars carry the longest bridge with the help of steel cables. Almost 10,000 workers built this bridge and completed this mega project. The length of the Bridge is 540,700 ft. (102 miles). This bridge passes over the water and crosses Yang Cheeng Lake having a length of 6 miles. Danyang Kunshan Grand Bridge is the part of Jinghu railroad, which is 819 miles long. The interesting thing is that the two largest bridges suppressed by this Grand Bridge are also of China. So, China is the country having 3 largest bridges in the world. The bridge also consists over 450,000 tons of steel structure, which explains the high number of workers involved.

9. Millau Viaduct Bridge

Bridges are normally considered to be the engineer's area of expertise rather than the architect's. But the architecture of infrastructure has a powerful impact on environment. The Millau Viaduct, designed in collaboration with engineers, illustrates how the architect can play an integral role in bridge design. This bridge is located in Southern France; the bridge connects the motorway from Paris to Barcelona crossing the River Tarn, which runs through a wide gap between two plateaus. A reading of the geography suggested two possible approaches: to cross the river, the geological generator of the landscape; or there was the challenge of distance of the 2.5 kilometers from one plateau to the other.

The bridge has the best possible span between cable-stayed columns. It is delicate, transparent, and uses the minimum material, which makes it less costly to construct. Each of its sections spans 350 meters and its columns range in height from 75 meters to 235 meters and is higher than the Eiffel Tower. This is further 90 meters above the road deck. To accommodate the expansion and contraction of the concrete deck, each column splits into two thinner, more flexible columns below the roadway, forming an A-frame above deck level. This structure creates a dramatic figure and crucially it makes the minimum intervention in the landscape.

8. Three Gorges Dam

The Three Gorges dam is the china's massive hydro-engineering ambition which faces "urgent problems, in spite of the fact, the state council said the dam had pressing geological, human and ecological problems. It was identified in the report that the Gorges Dam had a dreadful impact on downstream river transport and water supplies. Since the start of construction in 1992 about 16m tons of concrete have been poured into the giant barrier across the Yangtze River, creating a reservoir that stretches almost the length of Britain and drives 26 giant turbines which generates electricity.

The world's biggest hydro-power plant boasts a total generating capacity of 18,200 MW and the ability to help domestic to deal with floods that threaten the Yangtze delta each summer.

But it has proved expensive and controversial due to the re-housing of 1.4 million people and the flooding of more than 1,000 towns and villages. Pollution, buildup and landslides have plagued the reservoir area. Given the £24bn cost and political prestige at stake, the government takes care for many years on the dam's achievements.

7. The Large Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the greatest marvels of modern technology. The fundamental quest of the human spirit enables us to build an incredible über-accelerator to explore the very nature of reality. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a colossal scientific instrument near Geneva, spans between Switzerland and France. It is about 100 meters underground. It was developed to boost the study of smallest known particles by a gigantic tool that accelerates them. It will revolutionize our understanding, from the diminutive knowledge of world within atoms. Two beams of subatomic particles called "Hadrons" either protons or lead ions, travel in opposite directions inside the circular accelerator, gaining energy with every lap. Physicists use the LHC to recreate the conditions by colliding the two beams head-on at very high energy. Teams of physicists from around the world analyze the particles created in the collisions using special detectors in a number of experiments dedicated to the LHC.

Many studies about particle physics and fundamental laws of nature have served the science for years but the whole story is still not exposed. Large Hadrons Collider discloses further knowledge of particles from experimental data through high energies that reaches these small particles under study, challenging those who seek confirmation of established knowledge.

6. Pan-STARRS

Pan-STARRS is an acronym for Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System. It is an innovative design for a wide-field imaging facility developed at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy. In order to observe entire available sky, the engineers combined relatively small collection of mirrors with a large digital camera consequently produced an economical observing system. The prototype single-mirror telescope PS1 is now operational on Mount Haleakala; scientific research program is being undertaken by the PS1 Science Consortium, a collaboration between ten research organizations in four countries. A key objective of Pan-STARRS is to identify and characterize Earth-approaching objects, both asteroids & comets that might create a danger to our planet. It's also ideal for research in several other astronomical areas, particularly those which involve an aspect of time inconsistency. Pan-STARRS make it to see the Objects in the Inner Solar System and it is also capable to see the object outer the Solar System and now we can see Galaxy properties better than ever before.

Beaches, national parks or ancient temples be many folks' idea of an ideal tourism destination, but for others, nothing beats oohing and ahhing over a marvel of modern engineering. There are plenty of engineering triumphs on the standard tourism list - the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower, the Golden Gate Bridge - but for travelers who've already been there and done those, below are 10 other modern engineering marvels that are well worth a visit.

Keep in mind that such structures sometimes require significant maintenance and repair efforts that might shut down the facility and/or cancel tours, so check ahead of time for any closures. Also, many of the projects have had considerable environmental and social impact on their communities that is still a point of debate in some cases. It's worth knowing about these issues when you decide to visit these modern engineering marvels.

In 2013, CERN (the European Council for Nuclear Research) opened the accelerator to tours for the first time. Tours of the actual accelerator occur only when it isn't in use, the next instance of which will be winter of 2018, according to a CERN spokesperson. However, there's a visitor center where you can learn more about the accelerator and CERN's work.

The only rotating boat lift in the world

[caption id="AllAboardtheFalkirkWheel_Feature" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]

Connecting the Union Canal with the Forth & Clyde Canal, the unique Falkirk Wheel draws half a million visitors a year.[/caption]

Most tourists to Scotland have visions of tartan, highland games, castles, the clans and other historical features, but more and more people are visiting the Falkirk Wheel-the world's first and only rotating boat lift. Originally derived from ancient Greek and 19th-century ideas, the concept combines art, engineering and the latest technology to show off the best of modern Scotland.
As Scotland's industrial output expanded following the Industrial Revolution, the traditional way of moving goods around cheaply and quickly was by canal. By the 1830s some 200,000 passengers and 3.3 million tons of goods were carried on canals annually.
The principal waterways in central Scotland, the Forth & Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, connected Glasgow and Edinburgh and met near Falkirk. That the Union Canal was 115 feet above its counterpart, however, was a major problem. Originally, this difficulty was overcome by installing a system of 11 locks spread over almost a mile. But passing through the locks took about eight hours. Now, the Wheel raises or lowers boats from canal to canal in around 15 minutes.

[caption id="AllAboardtheFalkirkWheel_img1" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]

[/caption]

[caption id="AllAboardtheFalkirkWheel_img2" align="aligncenter" width="1024"]

With two gondolas of equal weight holding 132,000 gallons of water, the balanced Wheel turns using no more power than eight tea kettles.[/caption]

With the advent of the railways, canals fell out of use and the locks were eventually dismantled in 1933. As the 20th century drew to a close, however, they began to be used again for purely recreational purposes. British Waterways, the company responsible for the canals, decided that the Millennium should be marked by an iconic project that would be a memorial fit for the occasion. The outcome was the Millennium Link, an ambitious project to restore the canal system and reconnect Scotland's two largest cities at a cost of around &dollar;135 million.
The Wheel, costing &dollar;28 million, is the Link's central feature. Standing around 38 yards in height, the Wheel is made up of almost 1,320 tons of steel and 14,000 bolts. The northernmost section of the Wheel, the only part that actually moves, is an impressive structure, variously said to represent the shape of a Celtic double-headed spear or axe, the propeller from a Clyde-built ship or perhaps part of the skeleton of a fish. To others, it looks for all the world like a giant bird, pecking at scraps as it performs its task.
The remainder of the structure is simply an aqueduct to carry boats to and from the Union Canal. It has a beauty all its own as the arches above it, which are there simply to add symmetry, are reflected in the water to appear as a complete circle. It gives the impression of another tunnel that appears to end in midair.
Each gondola, the parts of the Wheel that carry the barges or provide the counterweight, has watertight doors at each end, just like a lock. The difference between the Wheel and a conventional lock system is that rather than water being pumped in or out, the gondolas are lifted or lowered so that the water in them is level with the water in the canal. When the watertight doors open again, a barge can simply sail in or out.

the science behind the Wheel is quite simple. The weight of the barge-carrying gondola and its load is counterbalanced by the weight of the water in the other gondola. An intricate system of cogs raises or lowers the gondolas-holding around 132,000 gallons of water in total. Each gondola, whether carrying barges or simply filled with water, weighs approximately 275 tons. Despite the weight involved, the efficiency of the structure means that the power used for a single turn is no more than that required to boil eight domestic kettles. (Those who recall their school physics and Archimedes Principle will remember that an object, in this case a boat, displaces its own weight of water, so the two gondolas are always equally balanced.)

ALL ABOARD THE WHEEL

The Falkirk Wheel is 23 miles from both Edinburgh and Glasgow. It is clearly signposted from Junction 8 on the M9 and from the M80/A80 near Stirling. By train, the Wheel is easily accessible from Falkirk Grahamston or Falkirk High stations-either just a short taxi ride away. The Falkirk Wheel is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. www.thefalkirkwheel.co.uk

Everything about the operation, from keeping the gondolas level to the difference in the height of water between the gondolas (which cannot exceed three inches), is controlled by computer.
Visitors taking the short Wheel tour board one of the two covered barges, appropriately called the Archimedes or the Antonine, after a short introductory talk. The Wheel turns and visitors are lifted, almost without being aware of it. Then, the barge or barges (the gondolas can carry more than one at time) sail off along the Union Canal.
The barge continues through Roughcastle tunnel, specially built to allow the Antonine Wall, which runs over it, to remain undisturbed. This tunnel also acts as a gauge by only allowing boats of the required breadth to pass through. Any boat too wide to go through the tunnel would be unable to sail through the narrower parts of the canal it would encounter further on.
Once through the tunnel, the barge turns and makes the return journey through the tunnel and along the aqueduct into the gondola at the "dead end." From that vantage point, high above the surrounding countryside, the Wheel gently lowers the gondola, initially giving the passengers the feeling they have dropped off the end in what the official brochure describes as "the most memorable yet gentle of white knuckle rides." The whole trip takes around takes around 50 minutes.
The canal ride also offers glimpses of the remains of the Antonine Wall, once the most northerly frontier of the Roman Empire, built on the orders of the Emperor Antoninus in AD 142. Parts of it were later incorporated into the Forth & Clyde Canal during the 17th century, but now the remains are preserved wherever possible. In practical terms, the four-yard-high earth wall, deep ditch and regular fortifications built along its length proved no barrier to the maurauding Picts. Consequently, it was abandoned after just two decades.
Since the Wheel was officially opened in 2002, the structure has become one of Scotland's leading tourist attractions. Having caught the public imagination, the Falkirk Wheel now draws around half a million visitors annually.
The "visitor experience" has also grown considerably since its opening. While the boat trips on the Wheel continue to be the attraction, there are plenty of other things to do. In addition to three miles of pathways (including walks to the Antonine Wall), there's a cafe, shop and a new Waterplay area where children (and adults too!) can explore, play and learn how water is moved on canals and similar features around the world. Longer trips along the canals are available to those looking for a more complete adventure.
An excursion to the Falkirk Wheel is a truly unique experience. Although Queen Elizabeth opened the Wheel, security problems prevented her traveling on it. So, if you visit, you can always boast of taking the trip Her Majesty was denied. The Wheel's own barge, Archimedes, gives way to a pleasure craft ready to sail into the aqueduct leading to the Union Canal.

Extensive Information on Energy Types and Energy Consumption

Introduction

We've used the wind as an energy source for a long time.

The Babylonians and Chinese were using wind power to pump water for irrigating crops 4,000 years ago, and sailing boats were around long before that.

Wind power was used in the Middle Ages, in Europe, to grind corn, which is where the term "windmill" comes from.

How it works:

The Sun heats our atmosphere unevenly, so some patches become warmer than others.

These warm patches of air rise, other air blows in to replace them - and we feel a wind blowing.

We can use the energy in the wind by building a tall tower, with a large propellor on the top.

The wind blows the propellor round, which turns a generator to produce electricity.

We tend to build many of these towers together, to make a " wind farm" and produce more electricity.

The more towers, the more wind, and the larger the propellors, the more electricity we can make.

It's only worth building wind farms in places that have strong, steady winds, although boats and caravans increasingly have small wind generators to help keep their batteries charged.

Excellent infographic on savenergy.com

How to build a wind farm:
interactive BBC news feature

More:

The best places for wind farms are in coastal areas, at the tops of rounded hills, open plains and gaps in mountains - places where the wind is strong and reliable. Some are offshore.

To be worthwhile, you need an average wind speed of around 25 km/h. Most wind farms in the UK are in Cornwall or Wales. Isolated places such as farms may have their own wind generators.

In California, several "wind farms" supply electricity to homes around Los Angeles.

The propellors are large, to extract energy from the largest possible volume of air. The blades can be angled to "fine" or "coarse" pitch, to cope with varying wind speeds, and the generator and propellor can turn to face the wind wherever it comes from. Some designs use vertical turbines, which don't need to be turned to face the wind.

The towers are tall, to get the propellors as high as possible, up to where the wind is stronger. This means that the land beneath can still be used for farming.

Advantages

Wind is free, wind farms need no fuel.

Produces no waste or greenhouse gases.

The land beneath can usually still be used for farming.

A good method of supplying energy to remote areas.

Disadvantages

The wind is not always predictable - some days have no wind.

Suitable areas for wind farms are often near the coast, where land is expensive.

Some people feel that covering the landscape with these towers is unsightly.

Can kill birds - migrating flocks tend to like strong winds.
However, this is rare, and we tend not to build wind farms on migratory routes anyway.

Can affect television reception if you live nearby.

Wind generators have a reputation for making a constant, low, "swooshing" noise day and night, which can drive you nuts. But as aerodynamic designs have improved modern wind farms are much quieter. A lot quieter than, say, a fossil fuel power station; and wind farms tend not to be close to residential areas anyway. The small modern wind generators used on boats and caravans make hardly any sound at all.
See the graphic on the right, from December 2001. In this example, at the distance the turbine is from the houses, it makes less noise than your fridge.-->

Introduction We've used the wind as an energy source for a long time. The Babylonians and Chinese were using wind power to pump water for irrigating crops 4,000 years ago, and sailing boats were around long before that. Wind power was used in the Middle Ages, in Europe, to grind corn, which is where the term "windmill" comes from.

Ever given an overly-chatty Uber driver a bad rating... then panicked about how they might've scored you?

Imagine that premise taken to 11 and you'll be close to the world of 'Nosedive' - the latest chilling tale from Black Mirror.

A dark satire about status anxiety in the social media age, the episode is set in a world in which everyone is ranked out of 5, and some people will go to any lengths to sustain a high rating.

Digital Spy caught up with stars Bryce Dallas Howard - who plays insecure Lacie - and Alice Eve - her picture-perfect friend Naomi - to talk about the "sinister" side of social media.

Find out why Bryce had an "existential crisis" when she joined Twitter and Instagram, and why posting a selfie is "almost [like] theatre".

'Nosedive' - also starring Happy Valley's James Norton and 24's Cherry Jones - was co-written by Charlie Brooker with Rashida Jones and Mike Schur, and was directed by BAFTA winner Joe Wright.
Black Mirror season 3 - including 'Nosedive' and five more tales of tech terror - will be available to stream exclusively on Netflix from Friday (October 21).
