There are inventions that have been a tremendous boost to the development of our civilization and will never become obsolete. The wheel is one of them. All over the world it is recognized as one of the oldest and most important inventions of mankind! Perhaps it is difficult to find another discovery that would give such a powerful impetus to the development of technology. The wheel and the circle are the basis for so many mechanical things. Imagine if the wheel disappeared from our lives. A spinning wheel, a potter's wheel, water wheels would cease to lift water into irrigation canals, millstones would stop grinding grain. All the gears would have stopped working. We would not recognize a cart, a bicycle, a car or even an airplane. We would not have a single vehicle!
Of course, in such a small work it is impossible to consider all mechanisms where different types of wheels are used, but nevertheless a lot of interesting and useful information is waiting for you.
