    With over twenty five years collective experience in the building industry, CRME Developments Ltd was established as a professional and resourceful construction company, the result of merging two smaller businesses, in 2006, with a common goal for improvement and progress.

  • 1989

    A graduate of Oxford University, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, an internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory, in 1989. He wrote the first web client and server in 1990. His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as Web technology spread.

  • 1956

    The hovercraft was invented by Sir Christopher Sydney Cockerell, an English engineer. The theory behind one of the most successful inventions of the 20th century, the Hovercraft, was originally tested in 1955 using an empty KiteKat cat food tin inside a coffee tin, an industrial air blower and a pair of kitchen scales. Sir Christopher Cockerell developed the first practical hovercraft designs, these led to the first hovercraft to be produced commercially, the SRN1.

    Anyone who’s a driver knows how valuable Cat’s Eyes are when driving at night. This device was invented by the Englishman Percy Shaw, born in Yorkshire in 1890. He invented it after he had been driving on a dark, winding road on a foggy night. He was saved from going off the side of the hill by a cat, whose eyes reflected his car’s lights.

  • 1923

    The Persu Streamliner, designed in 1923 by Romanian engineer Aurel Persu was the world's first car designed with aerodynamic principles. It cornered at 60km/h – insanely fast in its day. Persu brought it to Romania, driving it around 160000 kilometers. From then on, it became a general rule to design automobiles with the wheels inside the aerodynamic line of their bodies.

  • 1921

    The first to discover in 1921 the anti-diabetes hormone of the pancreas, known as insulin was Nicolae Paulescu (1869-1931). The Romanian scientist announced his discovery around ten months before the Canadian researchers F. G. Banting and J. J. R. Macleod, however they were the ones to receive the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1923. Paulescu's precedence was recognized at the 50th anniversary of the discovery of this miraculous life-saving medicine.

  • 1919

    Gogu Constantinescu (1881-1965) founded the theory of the sonicity and made the sonic engine. Using an invention of the Romanian scientist Gogu Constantinescu on a sonicity application, the British military aviation held supremacy during World War First.

  • 1910

    The jet engine was inveted in 1910 by Henri-Marie Coanda (1885-1972). He was a Romanian inventor, aerodynamics pioneer and builder of an experimental aircraft, the Coandă-1910 described by Coandă in the mid-1950s as the world's first jet, a controversial claim disputed by some and supported by others. He invented a great number of devices, designed a "flying saucer" and discovered the Coandă effect of fluid dynamics.

  • 1909

    Grigore Briscu is the first engineer who in 1909 began experimenting with the cyclic variation of rotor blade pitch in order to ensure horizontal flight and stability and piloting helicopters. Even today, the "automatic deviation device" is still one of the most important helicopter systems. The Romanian engineer stands as one of the most theorists of mechanical flight. He made a helicopter model he named "air-carriage" which had all the features of a helicopter-like flying machine: horizontal, vertical and lateral movement and fix-point landing.

  • 1878

    The electric light bulb was first patented in England by 1878 by Joseph Swan after having experimented since about 1850. Thomas Edison in the U.S. was working on improving the bulb patented by Swan and was granted a U.S. patent in 1879.

  • 1876

    Probably no means of communication has revolutionized the daily lives of ordinary people more than the telephone. Some of the inventors credited with inventing the telephone include Antonio Meucci, Philip Reis, Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell. Bell's experiments with his assistant Thomas Watson finally proved successful on March 10, 1876, when the first complete sentence was transmitted: "Watson, come here; I want you."

  • 1827

    The world's first fountain pen, an invention for which the French Government issued a patent on May 25, 1827, was invented by the Romanian inventor, Petrache Poenaru (1799–1875). Poenaru, who had studied in Paris and Vienna and, later, completed his specialized studies in England, was a mathematician, physicist, engineer, inventor, teacher and organizer of the educational system, as well as a politician, agronomist, and zootechnologist, founder of the Philharmonic Society, the Botanical Gardens and the National Museum of Antiquities in Bucharest.

  • 1821

    You can find electric motors in everything from vacuum cleaners (another British invention) to eco-friendly cars these days, but they owe it all to Michael Faraday, who first came up with the idea in 1821. It was Faraday who first proved the principle of electromagnetism by dipping a magnet into a pool of mercury and then feeding it with electrical current, something that led to electromagnetic rotation motors.
