The presidents of the Association Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos and Engineering Institute of Spain , take place tomorrow Tuesday, at 19h, the act of placing a bust at the Institute for Historical Engineering engineer and inventor Leonardo Torres Quevedo sculpted by Gonzalo Lossada and donated to the Association of Civil Engineers by Thomas Encinas. The event will take place at the Institute of Engineering of Spain, C. General Arrando, 38. Speakers at the event
Luis Giménez-Cassina, President of the Institute of Engineering of Spain, Leonardo Torres Quevedo, President of the Association of Engineers Roads, and the engineer Fernando Sáenz Ridruejo.
Leonardo Torres Quevedo (Santa Cruz de Iguña, Santander, 1852-Madrid, 1936) In 1902 Torres Quevedo presented at the Academies of Sciences in Madrid and Paris, the draft of a new type of airship that solved the serious problem of suspension of the car to include an internal frame of flexible cables that endowed rigidity to the airship as a result of internal pressure. In 1905 he directed the construction of the first airship English in the Department of the Army Military Ballooning. In 1907 he built the first ferry fit for public passenger transport in the Monte Ulia San Sebastian. But it is certainly in the English Aerocar Niagara Falls which has given him the greatest fame. In 1903 Telekino Torres Quevedo presented at the Academy of Sciences of Paris, was a robot that executed commands transmitted by radio waves, was the first apparatus radiodirección the world. The presentation at the Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of the notes on the algebraic machinery was considered an extraordinary event in the course of the English scientific production. In 1900 presented the report to calculate Machines at the Academy of Sciences in Paris. In them, he examines the mathematical and physical analogies that are the basis of analog computation.
