The Two Countries That Invented Industrial Revolution
1,473 words... in 1830, a measuring instrument accurate to a millionth of an inch. Eli Whitney. The term "Yankee ingenuity" could have been coined with Whitney in mind. Americans solved issues of speed and mass production. In 1798, American Eli Whitney, secured a US government contract (for $ 134, 000) to produce 10, 000 army muskets. Whitney refined and successfully applied the "Uniformity-System" of production using inter-changeable parts. However, Whitney met bureaucratic disbelief and delays in impleme...

Steam Engine James Watt
1,257 wordsJames Watt was born 19 th January 1736 at Greenock and at this time no one would have even imagined his effect on the Industrial Revolution that was to occur within that century. When James was fifteen he had read books about and become accustomed to Philosophy (similar to modern physics). He had also completed many of his own chemical experiments and even started produce and construct his own products such as a small electronic device that startled his companions. He soon became interested in a...

Lot Of Time Steam Engines
730 wordsJames Watt made many contributions to this country during the Industrial Revolution. He made numerous improvements on the Newcome steam engine, invented the term horse power, and designed the Sun and Planet wheel. He contributed most of his life to make others lives easier and for them to prosper and grow. In 1763 John Anderson asked Watt to repair one of his steam engines which was an early version of a Newcome steam engine. This engine wasted a lot of time and fuel so it was economically ineff...

Input Output Centrifugal Force
1,059 wordsThe complexity of the mind has intrigued and inspired philosophers for as long as humanity. How does it work? This question is not answered by equations and such as most conventional problem solving machines. Our own thought processes can be used to explain input and output responses from our senses to our reactions to those senses. This particular function of the mind, input / output capabilities, is one complexity that can be compared and related to real world machines that function in such a ...

Miles Per Hour Seat Belts
2,158 wordsThe making of automobiles started in the year 1770. In 1770 a man named Nicholas Joseph Cung not from France built a large steam-driven vehicle. The vehicle didn? t last long because the vehicle could only be driven for 12 to 15 minutes before running out of steam and the vehicle was too heavy and had poor balance and made it difficult to steer. Nothing more had been done until in the 1784. In 1784 James Watt made a patent on a steam carriage, but nothing became of it. Then in 1785 John Fitch in...

Miles Per Hour Steam Engine
671 wordsIn the beginning of transportation there were mainly horse and buggy, but then they developed a steam engine and they develop canals for steam boats. About five years later the people decided to start railroads because it was easier to lay and could be lain almost anywhere. So I will tell you about the steam engine, how it works, also about the steam locomotion, and I will present a model of an early British train. The old reciprocating steam locomotive is driven by a steam engine. Steam from th...

19 Th Century Steam Engine
547 wordsThe steam engine was arguably the most important machine technology in the Industrial Revolution. The steam engine is a mechanical device that was used to transfer the energy of steam into mechanical energy. This was used for a wide variety of applications, including propulsion and generating electricity. The basic principle of a steam engine involves transforming the heat energy of steam into mechanical energy. This is done by permitting the steam to expand and cool inside a cylinder with a mov...
