To validate a design concept, we can use an Encyclopedia of Mechanisms validation in addition to Wikipedia Concept Validation.

Further, History of Technology provides good insight on working mechanisms, and how they evolved over time.
Some excellent encyclopedias of mechanisms are: (needs to be graded for quality and usefulness)
