Where it was used for chariots. Some argue that it was invented by the Mesopotamians, the Northern Caucasus and Central Europeans. Therefore, the issue of where the wheel originated in still remains a mystery.
The wheel was one of the central technologies which boosted the industrial revolution. The invention of the wheels has contributed immensely to the development of technology and the most significant being the water wheel, the cog wheel and the spinning wheel. Some of the latest developments of the wheel include the propeller, the jet engine and flywheel and the turbine.
The wheel which originated so long ago has passed through many stages of development and change and is now presented in very attractive forms. Today one can not even imagine any mechanism without a wheel, can you?
