Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular and Descriptive Account of the Steam Engine: Comprising a General View of the Various Modes of Employing Elastic Vapour as a Prime Mover in Mechanics; And on Steam Navigation; With an Appendix of Patents and Parliamentary Papers Connected With That Subject The use of water as an impelling power, both for the turning of machinery and other purposes connected with the usdul arts, appears to have been known at a very early period. Vitruvius describes a variety of machines for this purpose, the earliest of which were employed merely to raise a portion of the fluid by which they were impelled. The most simple method of applying this element as a mechanical agent evidently con sisted in the construction of a wheel, the periphery of which was composed of a number of float boards. This, on being exposed to the action of a running stream, was afterwards employed to give motion to a variety of mills, and is at the present time employed in almost every species of ma chinery. Among the most celebrated hydraulic machines, we may enumerate the Machine of Marly. This. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular and Descriptive Account of the Steam Engine: Comprising a General View of the Various Modes of Employing Elastic Vapour as a Prime Mover in Mechanics; And on Steam Navigation; With an Appendix of Patents and Parliamentary Papers Connected With That Subject The great practical use of machinery to a commercial country is so well known, and its superiority to animal force so universally acknowledged and felt in every branch of our manufactures, that but little apology will be necessary for introducing to the man of science and the practical artizan a work, the avowed object of which is to render the uses and general principles of the steam engine familiar to every class of persons. That it has enabled England to support a proud pre-eminence, both in arts and political power, is equally apparent; and, by the aid of its gigantic arm, we are now enabled to traverse the ocean and facilitate the transit of our manufactured goods by land, to an extent far beyond what its most sanguine well-wishers could ever have calculated on. The railroads which are now spreading so rapidly over Great Britain, like the arterial ramifications in the human system, bestowing fertility and civilisation in their path, alone form an era in the history of the progress of human improvement.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical and Descriptive Account of the Steam Engine: Comprising a General View of the Various Modes of Employing Elastic Vapour as a Prime Mover in Mechanics; With an Appendix of Patents and Parliamentary Papers Connected With the Subject A labourer working ten hours per day, can raise in one minute a weight equivalent to K 3750 pounds. One foot high, or about sixty cubic feet of water in the same time; while the power of a horse working eight hours per day, may be correctly averaged at pounds. Smeaton states, that this animal, by means of pumps, can raise two hundred and fifty hogsheads of water ten feet high in an hour. It is a well known fact, also, that men when trained to running, are able on the average of several days being taken, to out strip the fleetest horse; and yet it will be seen from the above statement, that his force, if properly applied, is at least six times that of the most powerful man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical and Descriptive Account of the Steam Engine: Comprising a General View of the Various Modes of Employing Elastic Vapour as a Prime Mover in Mechanics The principal Object to be attained by the employment of the Steam Engine, as well as of every other species of machinery, being the te duction of animal labour, it may be advisable, before we proceed to the more immediate subject of the present work, to compare the various species of artificial power that have hitherto been employed for that purpose; and by this method we may be enabled to calculate with certainty and precision, on the most economical mode of producing a given force. To form, however, an accurate estimate Alf the saving thus effected, it will be necessary to examine, though but briefly, the amount of animal force and its result as applied to machinery.
