  • The Evolution of Diesel Engines
    GENERAL ARTICLE The Evolution of Diesel Engines U Shrinivasa Rudolf Diesel thought of an engine which is inherently more efficient than the steam engines of the end-nineteenth century, for providing motive power in a distributed way. His intense perseverance, spread over a decade, led to the engines of today which bear his name. U Shrinivasa teaches Steam Engines: History vibrations and dynamics of machinery at the Department The origin of diesel engines is intimately related to the history of of Mechanical Engineering, steam engines. The Greeks and the Romans knew that steam IISc. His other interests include the use of straight could somehow be harnessed to do useful work. The device vegetable oils in diesel aeolipile (Figure 1) known to Hero of Alexandria was a primitive engines for sustainable reaction turbine apparently used to open temple doors! However development and working this aspect of obtaining power from steam was soon forgotten and with CAE applications in the industries. millennia later when there was a requirement for lifting water from coal mines, steam was introduced into a large vessel and quenched to create a low pressure for sucking the water to be pumped. Newcomen in 1710 introduced a cylinder piston ar- rangement and a hinged beam (Figure 2) such that water could be pumped from greater depths. The condensing steam in the cylin- der pulled the piston down to create the pumping action. Another half a century later, in 1765, James Watt avoided the cooling of the hot chamber containing steam by adding a separate condensing chamber (Figure 3). This successful steam engine pump found investors to manufacture it but the coal mines already had horses to lift the water to be pumped.

  • Newsletter 155 Spring 2012
    NEWSLETTER 155 SPRING 2012 Puddlers’ Bridge on the Trevithick Trail, near Merthyr Tydfil. Reg. Charity 1 No. 246586 CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS Creating links The recent opening of the Sustrans bridge, covered elsewhere in this issue, to connect two lengths of the Trevithick Trail near Merthyr Tydfil came about a year after the University of Swansea published an investigation into the Welsh Copper Industry.* Both these significant events in industrial history depended upon Cornwall’s links with Wales. In the first instance, Richard Trevithick’s ingenuity and development of the high- pressure steam engine in Cornwall took form as the world’s first steam powered railway locomotive in Wales. It is well known for having pulled a train loaded with 10 tons of iron and some 70 passengers nearly ten miles. This was 25 years before the emergence of George Stephenson’s Rocket. The second event depended mainly on the little sailing ships that carried thousands of tons of copper ore from Cornwall and returned with the Welsh coal and iron that powered Cornwall’s mines and fed its industries. Investigations have shown that much of the copper smelting in Wales and shipping was controlled by Cornish families. Cornwall had similar industrial links to Bridgnorth, Dartford and other places throughout the country; all depended to a great extent upon Cornish ingenuity. This Society appears to be the only link today between Cornwall’s industrial archaeology and that of other parts of the country. If we are to encourage the study of Cornwall’s industrial archaeology we need to develop these links for the benefit of all concerned, wherever they may be.

  • The Diffusion of Newcomen Engines, 1706-73: a Reassessment*
    1 The Diffusion of Newcomen Engines, 1706-73: A Reassessment* By Harry Kitsikopoulos Abstract The present paper attempts to quantify the diffusion of Newcomen engines in the British economy prior to the commercial application of the first Watt engine. It begins by pointing out omissions and discrepancies between the original Kanefsky database and the secondary literature leading to a number of revisions of the former. The diffusion path is subsequently drawn in terms of adopted horsepower and adjusted for the proportion of the latter being in use throughout the period. This methodology differs from previous studies which quantify diffusion based on the number of steam engines and do not take into account those falling out of use. The results are presented in terms of aggregate, sectoral, and regional patterns of diffusion. Finally, following a long held methodology of the literature on technological diffusion, the paper weighs the number of engines installed by the end of the period in relation to the potential range of adopters. In the end, this method generates a less celebratory assessment regarding the pace of diffusion of Newcomen engines. *The author wishes to thank Alessandro Nuvolari for providing access to the Kanefsky database. Two summer fellowships from the NEH/Folger Institute and Dibner Library (Smithsonian), whose staff was exceptionally helpful (especially Bill Baxter and Ron Brashear), allowed me to draw heavily material from the collection of rare books of the latter. Two graduate students, Lawrence Costa and Michel Dilmanian, proved to be superb research assistants by handling the revisions made by the author to the database, coming up with the graphs, and running the tests involved in the third appendix of the paper as well as writing it.

Charity 1 No. 1,159,639 the central machinery hall, and consists of REPUTED TREVITHICK a single-cylinder return crank engine of the ENGINE vertical type, which there is every reason to consider it being one of Richard Trevithick’s design. Whilst it bears no maker’s name nor any means of direct identification, it presents so many well-known Trevithick features that it may be pretty certainly set down as a product of the ingenuity of the Father of High-pressure Steam. The engine was employed for over fifty years, down to 1882, at some salt works at Ingestre, Staffordshire, on the Earl’s estate. Prior to that it had been used for the winding at a colliery at Brereton, near Rugeley, and is thought to have been built at Bridgnorth. It is known that Haseldine and Co, of that place, built many engines to Trevithick’s design, under agreement with him. The engine is somewhat later than the other examples of his, close by, and is therefore of peculiar interest in enabling the course of gradual improvement to be easily followed.

  • Steam As a General Purpose Technology: a Growth Accounting Perspective
    Working Paper No. 75/03 Steam as a General Purpose Technology: A Growth Accounting Perspective Nicholas Crafts © Nicholas Crafts Department of Economic History London School of Economics May 2003 Department of Economic History London School of Economics Houghton Street London, WC2A 2AE Tel: +44 (0)20 7955 6399 Fax: +44 (0)20 7955 7730 1. Introduction* In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest among growth economists in General Purpose Technologies (GPTs). A GPT can be defined as "a technology that initially has much scope for improvement and evntually comes to be widely used, to have many uses, and to have many Hicksian and technological complementarities" (Lipsey et al., 1998a, p. 43). Electricity, steam and information and communications technologies (ICT) are generally regarded as being among the most important examples. An interesting aspect of the occasional arrival of new GPTs that dominate macroeconomic outcomes is that they imply that the growth process may be subject to episodes of sharp acceleration and deceleration. The initial impact of a GPT on overall productivity growth is typically minimal and the realization of its eventual potential may take several decades such that the largest growth effects are quite long- delayed, as with electricity in the early twentieth century (David, 1991). Subsequently, as the scope of the technology is finally exhausted, its impact on growth will fade away. If, at that point, a new GPT is yet to be discovered or only in its infancy, a growth slowdown might be observed. A good example of this is taken by the GPT literature to be the hiatus between steam and electricity in the later nineteenth century (Lipsey et al., 1998b), echoing the famous hypothesis first advanced by Phelps-Brown and Handfield-Jones, 1952) to explain the climacteric in British economic growth.

  • History of the Automobile
    HISTORY OF THE AUTOMOBILE Worked by: Lara Mateus nº17 10º2 Laura Correia nº18 10º2 Leg1: the first car. THE EARLY HISTORY The early history of the automobile can be divided into a number of eras, based on the prevalent means of propulsion. Later periods were defined by trends in exterior styling, size, and utility preferences. In 1769 the first steam powered auto-mobile capable of human transportation was built by Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot. In 1807, François Isaac de Rivaz designed the first car powered by an internal combustion engine fueled by hydrogen. In 1886 the first petrol or gasoline powered automobile the Benz Patent-Motorwagen was invented by Karl Benz.This is also considered to be the first "production" vehicle as Benz made several identical copies. FERDINAND VERBIEST Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China, built the first steam-powered vehicle around 1672 as a toy for the Chinese Emperor. It was of small enough scale that it could not carry a driver but it was, quite possibly the first working steam-powered vehicle. Leg2: Ferdinand Verbiest NICOLAS-JOSEPH CUGNOT Steam-powered self-propelled vehicles large enough to transport people and cargo were first devised in the late 18th century. Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot demonstrated his fardier à vapeur ("steam dray"), an experimental steam-driven artillery tractor, in 1770 and 1771. As Cugnot's design proved to be impractical, his invention was not developed in his native France. The center of innovation shifted to Great Britain. NICOLAS-JOSEPH CUGNOT By 1784, William Murdoch had built a working model of a steam carriage in Redruth.

(Please fill in any blank spaces as you read) Have you ever observed steam, also known as water vapor? For centuries, people have observed steam and how it moves. Describe steam on the line below. Does it rise or fall?____________________________________________________________ Steam is _______ and it ___________. When lots of steam moves into a pipe, it creates pressure that can be used to move things. Inventors discovered about 300 years ago that they could use steam to power machines. These machines have transformed human life. Steam is used today to help power ships and to spin large turbines that generate electricity for millions of people throughout the world. The steam engine was one of the most important inventions of the Industrial Revolution that occurred about from about 1760 to 1840. The Industrial Revolution was a time when machine technology rapidly changed society. Steam engines were used to power train locomotives, steamboats, machines in factories, equipment in mines, and even automobiles before other kinds of engines were invented. Boiling water in a tea kettle produces A steamboat uses a steam engine to steam. Steam can power a steam engine. turn a paddlewheel to move the boat.

  • Steam Engine Use and Development
    STEAM ENGINE USE AND DEVELOPMENT A diagram of Cameron's aero-steam engine, from an 1876 dictionary The first industrial applications of the vacuum engines were in the pumping of water from deep mineshafts. The Newcomen steam engine [[12]] operated by admitting steam to the operating chamber, closing the valve, and then admitting a spray of cold water. The water vapor condenses to a much smaller volume of water, creating a vacuum in the chamber. Atmospheric pressure, operating on the opposite side of a piston, pushes the piston to the bottom of the chamber. In mineshaft pumps, the piston was connected to an operating rod that descended the shaft to a pump chamber. The oscillations of the operating rod are transferred to a pump piston that moves the water, through check valves, to the top of the shaft. The first significant improvement, 60 years later, was creation of a separate condensing chamber with a valve between the operating chamber and the condensing chamber. This improvement was invented on Glasgow Green, Scotland by James Watt[[13]] and subsequently developed by him in Birmingham, England, to produce the Watt steam engine [[14]] with greatly increased efficiency. The next improvement was the replacement of manually operated valves with valves operated by the engine itself. In 1802 William Symington built the "first practical steamboat", and in 1807 Robert Fulton used the Watt steam engine to power the first commercially successful steamboat. Such early vacuum, or condensing, engines are severely limited in their efficiency but are relatively safe since the steam is at very low pressure and structural failure of the engine will be by inward collapse rather than an outward explosion.

In comparison with other counties, Cornwall was characterized by a relative high price for coal which was imported from Wales by sea.2 It is not surprising then that, due to their superior fuel efficiency, Watt engines were immediately regarded as a particularly attractive proposition by Cornish mining entrepreneurs (commonly termed ‘adventurers’ in the local parlance).3 Under a typical agreement between Boulton and Watt and the Cornish mining entre- preneurs, the two partners would provide the drawings and supervise the works of erection of the engine; they would also supply some particularly important components of the engine (such as some of the valves). These expenditures would have been charged to the mine adventurers at cost (i.e. not including any profit for Boulton and Watt). In addition, the mine adventurer had to buy the other components of the engine not directly supplied by the Published by & (c) The Newcomen Society two partners and to build the engine house.
