    18th-century mechanical volcano roars to life 250 years later

    Two University of Melbourne engineering students have recreated a 18th-century mechanical volcano design from Sir William Hamilton, using modern LED lighting and electronic systems to simulate Mount Vesuvius's eruptions. The project, based on an 18th-century watercolor and preserved sketch, brought Hamilton's 1775 vision to life after 250 years.
