Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Inventions and Inventors While we watch the steamer glide around Castle Garden into East River, evening begins to come on; we must hasten uptown. As we pass along Broadway, lights flash out in the darkness and our thoughts are again turned to fire and steam. We have heard that the source of the electric light is in the dynamo, and that steam power is used to turn that great machine. The enormous engine, the mammoth boat, the brilliant light - all need the power of steam, and nothing but fire will produce this steam. What, then, is fire? And is its only use that of changing quiet, liquid water into powerful steam? Let us see. Did you notice that machine shop which we passed when we were in Cleveland a few days ago? Did you see those furnaces with the huge volumes of flame bursting out of the open doors? You know that great heat is necessary to make tools and other implements of iron, and all the instruments of everyday life that are formed out of metals. Our pens and needles, our hoes and rakes, our horseshoes, our stoves and furnaces, our registers and the iron of our desks - all de pend upon heat for their production. Fire can do much for us. To change water into steam is but one of its powers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men of Achievement: Inventors This book, dealing with our great inventors, their origins, hopes, aims, principles, disappoint ments, trials, and triumphs, their daily life and personal character, presents just enough con cerning their inventions to make the story intelligible. The history is often a painful one. When poor Goodyear, the inventor of vulcan ized rubber, was one day asked what he wanted to make of his boys, he is said to have replied: Make them anything but inventors; mankind has nothing but cuffs and kicks for those who try to do it a service.

Download or read book The Boyhood of an Inventor Classic Reprint written by C. Francis Jenkins and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Boyhood of an Inventor America's supremacy in industrially applied science is often attributed to her patent system. It is the belief of the writer, however, that individual liberty, peace of mind, and freedom from political terrors accounts to a greater extent for the fact that citizens of the United States have made more revolutionary inventions, and in a greater variety of fields, than all the world else combined. And these great inventions are born of the poor as often as of the well-to-do, and much oftener than of the rich. It is not believed, however, that the real inventors, as distinguished from the improver of other people's inventions, are ever driven to their efforts by a desire for great wealth, but rather, like other artists, the musician, the painter, the sculptor, the poet, by a love of creative effort. It's a hobby, a plaything outside one's daily employment. Of course it is also true that but very, very few of those who have hobbies, and still fewer of all those who work, ever make great inventions. Is it then an accident? If not, is it possible to discover how these few differ mentally from those about them? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Invention: Told by Inventors and Their Friends The reader may or may not have seen these books, so much the worse for him if he have not, but that omis sion of his may be easily repaired. There are four of them stories OF war told by Soldiers stories OF the sea told by Sailors; stories OF adventure told by Ad venturers stories OF discovery told by Discoverers. Since the regular meetings began, of which these books are the history, the circle of visitors has changed more or less, as most circles will, in five years. Some of those who met are now in another world. Some of the boys have grown to be so much like men, that they are subw duing the world, as Uncle Fritz would say, in their several places, and that they write home, from other latitudes and longitudes, of the Discoveries and Adventures in which they have themselves been leaders. But younger sisters and brothers take the places of older brothers and sisters. The club -for it really is one is popular, Lady Oliver's house is large, and Uncle Fritz is hospitable. He says himself that there is always room for more; and Ellen Flaherty, or whoever else is the reigning queen in the kitchen, never complains that the demand is too great for her waffles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inventions in the Century IN treating of the subject of Inventions it is prop er to distinguish them from their scientific kindred Discoveries. The history of inventions is the history of new and useful contrivances made by man for practical purposes. The history of scientific discoveries is the record of new things found in Nature, its laws, forces, or materials, and brought to light, as they exist, either singly, or in relation, or in combination. Thus Galileo invented the telescope, and Newton discovered the law of gravitation. The practical use of the invention when turned to the heavenly bodies served to confirm the truth of the discovery. Discovery and invention may be, and often are, united as the soul is to the body. The union of the two produces one or more inventions. Thus the in vented electro-telegraph consists of the combina tion of discoveries of certain laws of electricity with an apparatus, by which signs are communicated to distances by electrical influence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tips to Inventors After obtaining as much publicity as pos sible, the inventor should arrange to call on all parties in his immediate neighborhood who have made inquiries, and take up the sale through correspondence with those at distant points. Make a personal call in all cases where it is absolutely possible to do so, as it will have a decided tendency to bring about a more satisfactory understanding. Take the model if you have one, and make an out and out business-like presentation, give each and every reason why it is to the interest of the parties to invest in the patent, and if dealing with a manufacturer, point out the possible loss that his business may suffer by allowing one of his competitors to obtain control of the invention.

It will endeavor to show that there is a widely-diffused belief as to the beginning of many practical appliances which is without foundation, as for instance that Stephenson constructed the first locomotive, that Fulton was the inventor of the steamboat that Jenner was the first to use vaccine matter as a remedy against small-pox. Innumerable errors of this kind are in existence, and should be corrected, not only in the interests of truth, but that credit for these great results should be dis tribut ed where they belong.
