The 1893 World’s Fair

The 1893 World Exposition is "an international exposition featuring exhibits including business, industry and science". (World Book Encyclopedia 412) Entertainment will also appear with cultural events. In 1893, the World Columbia World Expo in Chicago was a one year delay, but celebrated the discovery of the United States of America. I think that this fair showed some more beautiful buildings at the time; its huge architecture and sculpture was born from Greek and other classical styles, probably because it was popular in the Beaux-Arts style building .

The 1893 World Expo held in Chicago, Illinois, May 1st to October 1893, was held in commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's founding. The Expo is an influential social and cultural event that has great influence on architecture, health, art, self-image of Chicago, and American industry optimism. 1890: Creddead of Muret, France, founded his Adelaire. "Ader claimed that when he got into Ader Eole, he made a low-altitude flight of about 160 feet in a real estate apartment outside of Paris on 9th October 1890. This is a powerful and powerful air Is heavy, but for two main reasons, it is usually discounted as the first aircraft candidate. "I can not fly for a long time (by using a steam engine) and I lack adequate flight control conditions"

Civil engineer Georg Washington Ferris of Illinois state invented the Ferris wheel in the 1890s. The first Ferris wheel was built for the Chicago World Expo in 1893. The total cost of the wheel is $ 300,000.00. Mr. Ferris' invention is the largest wheel ever. It weighs 1,300 tons (this is the weight of about 2,000 cattle). Ferris wheel carries 25 floors and carries over 1,400 passengers. Passengers can see fifty miles from the top of the ride. This huge wheel takes 20 minutes to complete the turn. After the Chicago World Expo, the Ferris wheel was taken to the St. Louis Expo in 1904.

Structurally, today's emerging wheels still have much in common with the original wheels designed by Civil Engineer George W. Ferris for the 1893 Chicago World Expo. It was presented as an American answer to the Eiffel Tower (it opened in 1889, like the London Eye, a temporary structure). Even according to modern standards, the original version of Felis is not awkward: 50 cents per person, 1,500 passengers at a time can reach 264 ft. Today the largest wheel in the US is a relatively calm Texas star at the Texas State Fair in Dallas. At 212 feet, even Vienna's Rissenrad did not show up, and Vienna was famous for the 1949 movie "The Third Person" and still in operation after 110 years of construction.
