Physics

Answer:

A Chinese Geomancer

 Explanation:

The compass was invented in China during the Han Dynasty between the 2nd century BC and 1st century AD where it was called the "south-governor" or "South Pointing Fish" (sīnán 司南). The magnetic compass was not, at first, used for navigation, but for geomancy and fortune-telling by the Chinese.

However, it is believed Flavio Gioia first invented the refined compass, and a monument has been erected in Almafi Italy to honor his invention. The magnetic compass was probably developed by combining the wind rose and the lodestone. From this device, it is supposed the compass rose evolved.

Can you make the work output of a machine greater than the work input?
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

It is<em> impossible</em> to construct a machine which produces the <em>work output greater than the work input.</em>

Let us consider the II law of thermodynamics.

According to Kelvin Plank's statement any engine/machine does not give hundred percent efficiency. And violating the PMM-II(Perpetual motion of machine II kind), Always some amount of energy transferred  to the sink or surroundings.

Therefore

                     W(ouput) = Q₁-Q₂

There are many reasons to lower the work output, just for an example friction between the mating parts reduces the work output.
