Two University of Melbourne engineering students have successfully recreated a mechanical volcano design conceived in 1775 by volcanology pioneer Sir William Hamilton. Using historical sketches and modern technology like LED lighting and electronic systems, they brought the 18th-century vision to vivid reality, complete with glowing lava flows and volcanic drama.
