Architectura Hydraulica (1764) - Bernard Forest De Belidor - Bog

Architectura Hydraulica is a book written by Bernard Forest de Belidor and published in 1764. The book is a comprehensive guide to hydraulics, covering a wide range of topics related to the design, construction, and operation of water-powered machinery. It is considered one of the most important works on hydraulic engineering of the 18th century.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the principles of hydraulics, including the properties of water, the calculation of flow rates, and the design of water wheels. The second part focuses on the design and construction of various hydraulic machines, such as pumps, water wheels, and turbines. The third part covers the operation and maintenance of hydraulic systems.Architectura Hydraulica is notable for its detailed technical illustrations, which provide a visual guide to the various hydraulic machines and systems described in the book. The illustrations are accompanied by detailed descriptions and mathematical formulas, making the book an invaluable resource for engineers and technicians.Overall, Architectura Hydraulica is a seminal work in the field of hydraulic engineering, and a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of 18th-century engineers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
