The Invention That Changed Everything (James Watt's Steam Pump) | First Century of Steam - Part 4/7

Описание: James Watt may not have invented the steam engine (that credit goes to Newcomen), but his groundbreaking enhancements took it to the next level! In this video, I dive into the 1796 Bowyer Street Pumping Station of the Warwick & Birmingham Canal Navigation Company, showcasing this pump in direct comparison to the Newcomen engine from an earlier video.

The game-changing addition of the condensing cylinder is what sets it apart and makes all the difference! This condensing cylinder was just the first of many major innovations developed by James Watt, but this was the first!

If you're not yet familiar with atmospheric engines, make sure to check out my Newcomen Atmospheric Engine video for an in-depth look at how this incredible machine operates!

Filmed on location.

******************
Steam power changed the world, and most people think it changed it really fast, but history shows that, in the first century, despite thousands of steam engines being put into use, they actually evolved fairly slowly

Join me on this 7-part series as we look at the The First Century of Steam Power – The Atmospheric Engines.

Course objectives:
1) Why did we invent steam engines?
2) How do atmospheric steam engines work?
3) How did atmospheric steam engines evolve?
4) Why does no one use atmospheric steam engines anymore?
