- The Man Who Invented the Wheel, and Paid the Price by Dennis Bell. George Washington Gale Ferris invented the wheel, and it cost him his life. The Illinois-born civil engineer gave the world the Ferris Wheel, and got next to nothing for one of the greatest novelties in human history. George was just five years old when his parents moved the family from sedate and affluent Galesburg, Illinois to wild and woolly Nevada Territory.

The revolutionary invention of the wheel A Mesopotamian wheel. Photo source. One of the reasons why the wheel was invented only at this point in history is due to the fact that metal tools were needed to chisel fine-fitted holes and axles. This leads to the next reason – the wheel was not just a cylinder rolling on its edge.ne of these is the wheel. Take a look around, and you will see wheels everywhere, be it as tyres, or in everyday machinery. The wheel has even been imbued with symbolic meanings, most famously, perhaps, as a metaphor for the never ending cycle of life.

History of the bicycle There are several early but unverified claims for the invention of bicycle-like machines. The earliest comes from a sketch said to be from 1493 and attributed to Gian Giacomo Caprotti, a pupil of Leonardo da Vinci. In 1998 Hans-Erhard Lessing described this as a purposeful fraud.ehicles for human transport that have two wheels and require balancing by the rider date back to the early 19th century. The first means of transport making use of two wheels arranged consecutively, and thus the archetype of the bicycle, was the German draisine dating back to 1817.

- Click here for audio of Episode 1254. Today, another look at the invention of the wheel. The University of Houston's College of Engineering presents this series about the machines that make our civilization run, and the people whose ingenuity created them. It's fairly common knowledge that the wheel was invented around 5500 years ago. But what was really invented at that time? V. Gordon Childe offers an interesting slant on the question. What we should be looking at, he says, is not the wheel itself, but rather the use of rotary motion.
