Who was a the inventor of offshore platforms?
The invention of offshore platforms is often attributed to the work of engineers and companies in the oil industry during the mid-20th century. One notable figure is George P. Mitchell, who pioneered the use of offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in the 1940s. His efforts, along with those of others in the industry, led to the development of the first successful offshore oil platforms, revolutionizing oil extraction from beneath the sea.

What did the early machines run on?
Early machines would run on energy sources available at the time, namely manual labour, animal labour, water power and wind power. There is evidence of steam power dating back 2000 years but this was ineffective/inefficient. It wasn't until improvements in the 18th century that steam power really took off.
What other people invented the umbrella?
The umbrella has a long history with contributions from various cultures. The ancient Egyptians used parasols as sunshades around 3,000 BCE, while the Chinese developed a collapsible version around the 11th century BCE.

Who invented the 6 simple machines?
1. The Pulley- Probably the earliest lifting pulleys used a rope over tree branch to lift heavy objects. Although pulleys were in use around the time the pyramids were built there is no record of them being used in their construction.The first pulley systems built for lifting would have been made of tree trunks or branches with the rope over the horizontal part of the system. The use of wheels was the next step in the history of lifting pulleysAs people needed to transport goods over longer distances they discovered sails that used the power of the wind. To be able to use the wind power the sailors had to be able to raise and lower the sails. Pulleys were ideal for this task.About 1100 AD the building of large churches called cathedrals became popular. These buildings were very large and some were around 150 meters high. Huge blocks of stone had to be lifted to build the walls and spires. The cathedral builders were the same people who designed and built the pulley systems to lift the blocks of stone.2.The lever- Levers are one of the basic tools; they were probably used in prehistoric times. Levers were first described about 260 BC by the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes (287-212 BC). Many of our basic tools use levers, including scissors, pliers, hammer claws, nutcrackers, and tongs.3.The Wedge- History is not clear since it has been around for around 9,000 years. Almost all known ancient civilations had their version of the wedge.4.The Wheel and Axle- The wheel is probably the single most important invention of all time. The oldest wheel was found in a place that is now called Mesopotamia. It is believed to be over fifty-five hundred years old. Before that time, people did not have wheels to move heavy objects. Axles were used to unite two or more wheels in order to achieve more work or transportation done.5.The Inclined Plane- The inclined plane is one of the simple machines of antiquity, the physical operations of which were first theorized by Archimedes in the second century B.C., and then further explained by Hero of Alexandria in the first century A.D.6.The Screw- Around the first century, screw shaped tools became common, however, historians do not know who invented the first. Early screws were made from wood and were used in wine presses, olive oil presses, and for pressing clothes. Metal screws and nuts used to fasten two objects together first appeared in the fifteenth century.
