Description
Summary:Engineering ideas 110 years ago focused on new solutions in the field of transport civil engineering, discussing design of railway tunnels under rivers, lakes, and sea straits. Not all of them have been built till now, e.g. the tunnel under Bering strait. Mechanical engineers thought about new type of wagons to carry perishable goods, and electrical engineers developed projects to use tidal energy as a source of power supply. 110 лет назад инженерная мысль находилась в поиске новых решений в сфере транспортного строительства, обсуждалось строительство тоннелей для железных дорог под водными преградами. Некоторые проекты, например, железнодорожного перехода под Беринговым проливом, ещё ждут своего часа. Задумывались и новые типы вагонов для перевозки скоропортящихся грузов, и использование приливной энергии для электроснабжения.
