    • What is Charles Babbage's Difference Engine?


    A difference engine is an automatic mechanical calculator designed to tabulate polynomial functions.
    It was designed in the 1820s, and was first created by Charles Babbage.

    The Venturi
    effect
    Venturi effect is the reduction
    in fluid pressure that results
    when a fluid flows through a
    constricted section of a pipe.
    The Venturi effect is named
    after its discoverer, the 18th
    century Italian physicist,
    Giovanni Battista Venturi.
