The first phonograph, invented by Thomas Alva Edison, recorded sound by engraving vibrations into a groove on a foil-covered rotating cylinder, and plaved the sound back through a vibrating diaphragm connected to a stylus.

Iron and steel were very tough material back then and it was the only material people back in the 1800s could use that could hold up the sewing machine.


How sonars works?

The frequencies of the sound waves given off by either a machine or animal bounce off of objects and come back to the animal or machine. As the frequencies travel through the water (or whatever you're using it in) the frequency of the sound waves slow down the further away the object it bounces off of. Therefore, objects that are close to the thing the sound waves came from will come back to it before the sound waves that are further away, making an image. If someone could reword it to make it less confusing, that would be nice. :)

Who invented the process for the first sound recording which used tin-wrapped cylinders that could be played on a phonograph?

Thomas Edison is credited with inventing the process for the first sound recording using tin-wrapped cylinders that could be played on a phonograph. This invention, known as the phonograph, revolutionized the way sound could be recorded and played back.


When was the first sound recorder made?

The first sound recorder, known as the phonautograph, was developed by Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville in 1857. It could transcribe sound waves onto a soot-covered surface but was not capable of playing back the recorded sound.


The first sound recordings as experimented with by Thomas Edison were recorded on what material?

Thomas Edison used tinfoil sheets wrapped around a metal cylinder to make the first sound recordings. The tinfoil would vibrate in response to sound, etching the sound waves onto it which could be played back by re-tracing the etchings with a stylus.


A machine that sends out sound waves and uses the waves that are reflected back?

This sounds like a description of a sonar system, which uses sound waves to detect objects underwater by sending out a pulse of sound and measuring the time it takes for the sound waves to bounce back. Sonar systems are commonly used in navigation, fishing, and underwater mapping.

What was the name of the first machine that could be programmed by cards with holes punched holes?

The Jaquard Loom in 1801. Punched cards actually date back to around 1725 when they replaced the perforated paper rolls that were in use at the time, but the machines still required human intervention. It was Joseph Marie Jaquard who improved the technique to create what is arguably the first fully-automated, re-programmable machine; insofar as once it was programmed, the machine could complete the job of its own accord.


What would happen if you went back in time and then killed the guy that invented the Time machine?

More than likely it would become a back and forth thing since he could do the same. Another answer: The Time Machine will cease to exist, you would never heard about the time machine and never gone back in time. Simple as that.
