What is an engineer? The work of an engineer is aimed at enabling natural laws and resources to be exploited for the use of society with maximum economy consistent with other important factors.
These may include such considerations as safety and reliability and also social factors like aesthetics, noise and atmospheric pollution.
Although he / she may have no special responsibility to determine the uses to which his developments are put, our everyday life and the prosperity of our society both depend vitally on his work.
Within the last 200 years, engineers have produced a host of machines, techniques and concepts: will be the bases of Searl Technology Limited; that has been the present technological civilization.
Some of these engineers have been originators like the Wright brothers, who developed the first powered airplane.
However, most of them have been men like James Watt or Henry Ford, who possessed the vision and skill to refine an existing invention to the point where it became practical.
That is what the Searl Technology Limited is all about, to refine the existing energy system to the point where it becomes practical.
Just to remind you with brief sketches the major contributions made to the world by 28 great engineers – from the Industrial Revolution to World War II.
