3. 1.- The submarine:
 The submarine is a ship or vessel
able to navigate under the surface
of the sea or submerged.
Commonly, "submarine" refers to a
vessel that operates on the surface
and under water by itself.
Underwater vessels with limited
mobility which usually remain in the
same place, such as those used for
rescue or research, are commonly
called submersibles. Submersibles
are usually taken to their area of
operation by common or large ships
and have very little autonomy. Many
submersibles work connected by an
"umbilical cord" to a mother ship
(submarine, surface vessel or
platform) that provides them with air
and electricity.

4. 2.- The table football:
 Table football is a board game based on
football. It is played on a special table on
which transverse axes hold small wooden
figures divided into two teams; these
players are turned by the people playing
the game to strike a ball. There are two
different types of table football in Spain:
English table football and Spanish table
football, also called two-legged football,
which has different measures from the
English one. Whereas the football played
on the international table has players
with united legs, the legs of the Spanish
players are separated. Alejandro Campos
Ramirez, a Galician also known as
Finisterre,created this peculiar machine
in order that he himself and the children
who were hurt in the Civil War could
continue playing the national sport

5. 3.- The cigarettes:
 Although tobacco comes from America, the origin of
cigarettes goes back to the Seville of the 16th
century. In those times, beggars used to gather the
remnants of the tobacco leaves that they found to
crush them and wrap them in rice paper. It was not
until the year 1833 when the first packet was sold with
the name of " Top Cigarettes ". Now the cigarette is
one of the most popular formats in the consumption of
tobacco. It is made with the leaves of a dry tobacco
plant, chopped and covered by a thin leaf in the
shape of a cylinder. Commonly the cylinder integrates
a filter to reduce the damage to human health.

6. 4. The mop:
 The mop is a tool used for
washing floors. It consists of a
bundle of absorbent cloth
attached to a long handle. The
mop is usually associated with
a plastic bucket provided with
a mechanism called wringer.
To wash the floor, after soaking
and wringing it, it is scrubbed
against the surface that is
going to be cleaned. It is also
frequently used for cleaning
spilled liquids. The mop " was
invented in Spain in 1964 by
the inhabitant of La Rioja
Manuel Jalón Corominas
(1925 - 2011), and was later
improved to acquire its current
aspect.
After the mop was created, Manuel
Jalón continued giving the world his
revolutionary inventions. He took
advantage of the increasing use of the
plastic of the 60s to improve the
hypodermic syringe and to create the
first disposable one.

7. 5. The Chuppa Chupps:
 Enric Bernat created one of the most
revolutionary Spanish inventions in history with
the simple idea of introducing a stick in a candy.
This way children could eat up the candy with the
smallest possibility of choking. In 1958 Bernat
introduced the candy in the Spanish market with
the name of 'Chups', though, as the slogan of the
product was "chuppa chupps", people adopted
this name to refer to this type of candy.

8. 6. The spacesuit:
 The spacesuit is a
hermetically closed outfit that
includes a device for
breathing and allows the
wearer to move freely in
space. It is the only article
destined to perform any
extravehicular activity and a
safety measure for the
reentry, since it protects
human beings from the heat,
cold, radiation and zero
atmospheric pressure of
space. This suit can be worn
both in extravehicular activity
(EVA in English) out of the
ship and moving around the
moon.

9. 7.- The gyroplane:
 The gyroplane is an
aircraft of gyratory wings,
that is to say, it flies lke
planes but its wing is a
rotor that turns by the
action of the relative wind
that crosses it bottom up.
For this reason, it is
possible to consider that it
is a hybrid between the
airplane and the
helicopter: as the airplane,
its propulsion is carried out
by means of a propeller,
but, apart from wings,it
has a rotor as the
helicopter.
This rotor is not connected to the
engine of the aircraft, so it turns
freely ("it" "autoturns"), stimulated
by the air, this way generating the
lift. In the helicopter, on the contrary,
the propulsion and the sustentation
take place in the rotor, which is
stimulated by the engine.

10. 8. A Talgo:
 A Talgo is a type of train which consists of a rigid series of
short coaches made of aluminium and lower than the
traditional ones, designed and built by the Spanish company
Talgo Patents. Its name comes from the initials of Articulated
Train Light Goicoechea Oriol, in consideration of its designer
Alejandro Goicoechea, and the financier who supported his
investigations and the manufacture of the first trains
developed with this system, Jose Luis Oriol Urigüen. Both
set up the company in 1942. First they built the prototypes
Talgo 0 and Talgo I, without a commercial use, and later they
made the Talgo II. After the Talgo II,Goicoechea stopped
taking part in the projects of the company.

11. 9. The laryngoscope:
 The laryngoscope is a
simple medical
instrument that serves
mainly to examine the
glottis and the vocal
chords. The inventor of
the first laryngoscope
was the teacher of the
opera singer Manuel
García. Its later
development and use in
medical practice is
largely due to the
German doctor Johann
Czermak.
