Our sincere tribute to the illustrious nineteenth-century engineer from Tenerife, Agustín de Betancourt y Molina, who developed the industrial revolution in Europe by inventing the European steam engine, among other engines, founder of high-level engineering schools, as well as the builder of the new capital of the Tsars of Russia, St. Petersburg. This unique and first Sketchfab-engine creation is adapted from the “silk thread braiding machine” of Agustín de Betancourt, showing its gear wheel set and how it works. The “silk thread braiding machine” is part of the collection of machines with which the Spanish engineer had designed, worked, developed or improved during his stay in Paris, and brought to Spain in 1796. In 1798, his collaborator, Juan López de Peñalver described it in the book “Descripción de las máquinas de más general utilidad que hay en el gabinete de ellas, establecido en el buen retiro” 3D Model is ready to download for free, this model contains 71088 polygons.

Sculpture of a Roman gladiator A 3D model of an eighteenth-century bronze sculpture created by Pius Weloński (1849–1931). This figurative, whole-body sculpture depicts a Roman gladiator with an upraised arm. The pedestal bears the following inscription: Ave Caesar! Morituri, salutant [Long live Caesar! Those who are going to die greet you]. The gladiator is – judging by his props – most likely a retiarius [net-fighter]. He fought with a trident or harpoon made of tuna bones, a dagger, and a net that he threw at his opponent’s head.
