Happy #WorldConcertinaday!
#CharlesWheatstoneβs 221βst birthday πͺπ
Are those free-reeds or beating reeds in the party π₯³ horn?
Wikipedia is no help, says itβs just a horn. This IS a stub:

On #WorldConcertinaDay we remember #CharlesWheatstone who invented the English #concertina, 3-D glasses, the telegraph, measured the speed of light, and every electrical engineer uses his Wheatstone bridge circuit
So if you do practically anything electronic π±today while wearing 3-D glasses π΅βπ« and playing your concertina πͺ at the speed of light π‘ over the telegraph β‘οΈ thank Charles Wheatstone

I love those modern echoes of old tech. Somebody here mentioned #CharlesWheatstone, so I commented. Then yesterday I saw another mention of him
He was such a polymath!
So much technology was being developed in the 1830s it feels like he and those like him had their fingerprints on all of it

Another #CharlesWheatstone shoutout in this vid about a diy project that sounds foolishβBuilding a haptic input knob from scratch! π
He mentions the famous Wheatstone Bridge at nine minutes in
In addition to inventing the telegraph, the concertina πͺ, 3-D glasses π΅βπ«, and measuring the speed of light, Wheatstone also got his name on this fundamentally useful early electronic principle
πͺ Big #CharlesWheatstone nerds over here. π
Besides the telegraph (and 3-D glasses) Charles Wheatstone also filed a key patent that led to his English #Concertina in 1829, the same year Cyrill Demian patented the first #Accordion in Viennaπ€#TwinIdeas #Breakthroughs
