Today’s Final Jeopardy 6/12/2024 (Famous Names) – Wednesday, June 12 2024
Vying with Eiffel, this engineer wanted to create big, an admiring account said the Obelisk of Luxor is too short to be a spoke

Final Jeopardy Explanation – Wednesday, June 12 2024
George Washington Gale Ferris Jr., famously known for his invention of the Ferris Wheel, was an engineer whose aspirations mirrored those of notable figures like Gustave Eiffel. His iconic wheel debuted at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893, positioned as a formidable American counter to the Eiffel Tower unveiled at the 1889 Paris Exposition. Ferris aimed to create a structure that would not only captivate the public but also serve as a testament to the capabilities of American engineering.
The original Ferris Wheel stood impressively at over 260 feet with 36 cars, each able to accommodate up to 60 people, showcasing its remarkable scale and the ambitious engineering behind it. The notion that even the Obelisk of Luxor would be too short to serve as a spoke in Ferris’s design highlights the sheer audacity of his engineering vision. He envisioned a structure so monumental that it would eclipse some of the most celebrated architectural achievements of the age, including the Eiffel Tower itself.
Beyond just an amusement park attraction, the Ferris Wheel’s introduction at the Columbian Exposition symbolized a pivotal moment in engineering history, affirming the innovative spirit and boldness of American design. Ferris’s wheel not only provided new entertainment but also broke ground in structural engineering, challenging existing norms and inspiring a future generation of engineers. This engineering marvel proved to the world that American ingenuity could craft what seemed impossible, pushing the limits of what could be achieved in architectural and engineering endeavors.
