Buffalo had some amazing visitors from Bosnia 🇧🇦 come to UB to learn about entrepreneurship over the last week! Dan had the privilege to speak during a presentation to them and one of the students was so intrigued he came to visit Tresca HQ! 😁

Haris Salkić is a young mechanical engineer with a passion for the world of entrepreneurship. He is a gifted engineer with a ton of enthusiasm for learning. Haris asked to spend some time with our engineers and we couldn't be happier that he came to visit! We look forward to seeing him grow on his entrepreneurial journey ⚡⚡

Some work of engineers of the past are still a mystery the engineers of today! 😅

There are lots of technologies from the ancient world that we don't understand yet. This is our second blog where we share some of these amazing technologies! 🎉

Check out latest blog that shows why the Roman Colosseum is still standing today!

Engineers of the past still stump the engineers of today! There are technologies created long ago that we have not worked out yet.

Duct tape is an engineer’s best friend ➿ Use the right tool for the job of course, but when the right tool isn’t there, duct tape is a great bet! People trust the tape to keep their car held together all the way to duct taping their shoes. But how was it invented?

Duct tape began as a WW2 invention by the United States 🇺🇸 We needed a strong, waterproof solution to keep ammunition cases dry. J&J was able to modify medical tape and came up with a tape that was very strong but easily tearable. It was also waterproof so it reminded soldiers of a duck’s waxy feathers. That’s where the brand name comes from! 🦆

After the war, the tape had no plans of going away. The housing market boomed once the war was over and soldiers took construction jobs back at home 🏗️ They eventually used the tape on heating & cooling ducts which enabled manufacturers to put silver on one side to match the ducts and then everyone started calling it duct tape! A solution EVERYONE is familiar with. 😁

There are some ridiculous patents out there! And they are pretty fun to look at 😁

For this week's blog post we put together a short list of patent drawings that you won't believe exist. We hope you get a kick out of them

Patent illustrations are a critical part of any patent application! However, sometimes the drawings are absolutely crazy and funny!
