Ngā wīra hikoiHe mīhini maha ngā whakamahinga e kitea whānuitia ana i roto i ngā whare takaro me ngā kāinga huri noa i te ao. He taputapu whakapakari tinana rongonui e whakamahia ana mō te oma, te oma tere, te hikoi, tae noa ki te piki maunga. Ahakoa he maha ngā wā ka warewarehia tēnei mīhini i ēnei rā, he iti noa te hunga e mōhio ana ki te hītori o tēnei momo taputapu whakapakari tinana. Kua whakaaro koe i te wā i hangaia ai te mīhini oma? I roto i tēnei tuhinga, ka matapakihia e mātou te hītori whakamīharo o te mīhini oma me tōna whanaketanga i roto i te wā.
Ko te putanga tuatahi o te mīhini oma ko te "treadwheel" te "turnspit" rānei i hangaia e ngā Rōmana i te rautau tuatahi AD. He taputapu e whakamahia ana hei huri witi, hei papu wai, hei whakakaha i ngā momo mīhini. He wira hurihuri nui kei te mīhini oma e piri ana ki tētahi tuaka poutū. Ka takahia e te tangata, e te kararehe rānei te wira, ā, ina huri, ka nekehia e te toki ētahi atu mīhini.
Kia tere whakamua ki te rautau 19, ka whanake te mīhini oma hei taputapu whiu i whakamahia i roto i te pūnaha whare herehere. Ka mahi ngā herehere i te rā katoa i runga i ngā mīhini oma, ka whakaputa hiko mō ngā mīhini pēnei i te huri paraoa, te papu wai rānei. I whakamahia hoki ngā mīhini oma hei mahi ā-ture mā ngā kaihara, ā, i kiia te whiu me te mahi he iti ake te nanakia i ērā atu momo whiu. Koinei te whakamamae kino rawa atu, ā, heoi anō, kāore i te herea ki Ingarangi anake.
Heoi, kāore i roa, ka huri anō te tirohanga mō te mīhini oma, ā, ka noho hei taputapu whakapakari tinana rongonui i te mutunga o te rautau 19. Nā William Staub i hanga i te tau 1968, ā, ka hurihia e te mīhini oma hou te oma i roto i te whare. He whitiki kei te mīhini a Staub e hono ana ki tētahi mōtini e neke ana i te tere kua whakaritea, e taea ai e te kaiwhakamahi te hikoi, te oma rānei i te wāhi kotahi. I whakapono a Staub he pūmanawa tōna i hangaia i roto i te umanga whakapakari tinana, ā, he tika tana.
I te rautau 21, i puta mai ngā mīhini oma hangarau teitei, ā, kua rongonui haere i roto i ngā whare takaro me ngā kāinga huri noa i te ao. He whakaaturanga matihiko kei ngā mīhini oma hou e aroturuki ana i te tere o te manawa o te kaiwhakamahi, te tawhiti o te ara, te roa me te tere. Hei tāpiri, he maha ngā āhua me ngā rahi e wātea ana, ā, he maha ngā āhuatanga ka taea te whakarite pērā i te piki me te heke.
I ēnei rā, he rongonui ngā mīhini oma i waenga i te hunga o ngā reanga katoa me ngā taumata hauora katoa. He huarahi haumaru, he huarahi watea hoki ēnei ki te whakakorikori tinana i roto i te whare, e hoatu ana ki te tangata te whai wāhi ki te haere tonu i tā rātou haerenga whakapakari tinana me te kore e manukanuka ki ngā āhuatanga o waho pēnei i te āhua o te rangi, i ngā herenga wā rānei. He pai hoki ngā mīhini oma mō te hunga e pai ake ana ki te whakakorikori tinana ko rātou anake, i roto rānei i te haumaru o ō rātou kāinga.
Hei whakamutunga, kua roa te ahunga whakamua o ngā mīhini oma mai i tōna tīmatanga. Mai i te whakamahinga tawhito mō te huri paraoa ki ngā taputapu whakakori tinana rongonui i te rautau 21, he mea whakamīharo, he mea whakamīharo hoki te hītori o te mīhini oma. I te haere tonu o te hangarau ki te ahu whakamua, ka taea e tātou te whakaaro noa i te heke mai o te mīhini oma. Kotahi te mea e tino mārama ana; kei konei tonu ngā mīhini oma, ā, ka noho tonu hei mea nui i roto i te umanga whakapakari tinana.
