Our time - this is the era of machines. Man does not possess sufficient muscular strength to move heavy objects, lift boulders, tons of earth removed from the rocks.But we have the mind a long time ago and was used for heavy work assistants or various devices.
In ancient times it was a variety of hobbies and simple tools: levers, blocks, winches. As time went on, progress is not standing still. Restless human mind able to "tame" the forces of nature such as water, steam and electricity. People have learned to create huge mechanisms that perform for us the most difficult and dangerous work. The size of some of them, indeed, impressive. We have prepared for you a list that included the largest machine in the world.
