What powered transport before the steam engine?
Before steam engines came into use, travel on land was mostly powered by horse. On water, it was mostly powered by wind.
What came after steam engines?
Gas engine
A technological invention that came before computers?
The plow, steam engine, movable print, the cotton gin, etc.
Was the horse the main trasport before the steam engines?
yes they came before steam engines
Where did the idea of a steam train come from?
the steam engine came from the greeks and then the europeans made it for trasportation.
Did trains come before cars?
the steam train came before the car
Which invention came last automobile telegraph telescope or steam engine?
Automobile
What 2 things do you have today due to the steam engine?
The electric grid (power supply) is one thing mainly dependent on steam engines (turbines), more than 90% of the worlds electric generators use steam turbines to generate electricity (nuclear power plants generate steam to power the turbines). Because of that, anything that uses electricity came into being, such that, we could claim we have computers as a result of the industrial technology created, because of the steam engine.
Was the steam engine part of the renaissance?
No. The steam engine came along during the industrial revolution and drove most of the mills and their machinery. It was the primary driving force behind industrialization.
What came first science or technology?
Science came first, as it involves the study of the natural world and the principles that govern it. Technology, on the other hand, is the application of scientific knowledge to solve specific problems or meet human needs.
Which comes first history or science?
If we define science as the observation of nature, then science came first. If we define science as the body of organised knowledge, then technology came first. It depends on what you perceive each concept to mean.
Can you give Essay about steam engine?
What is a Steam Engine and how has it developed through the ages? A steam engine is a device that converts the potential energy that exists as pressure in steam, and converts that to mechanical force. Early examples were the steam locomotive trains, and steamships that relied on these steam engines for movement. The Industrial Revolution came about primarily because of the steam engine. The thirty seconds or so required to develop pressure made steam less favoured for automobiles, which are generally powered by internal combustion engines. The first steam device was invented by Hero of Alexandria, a Greek, before 300BC, but never utilized as anything other than a toy. While designs had been created by various people in the meanwhile, the first practical steam engine was patented by James Watt, a Scottish inventor, in 1769. Steam engines are of various types but most are reciprocal piston or turbine devices. The strength of the steam engine for modern purposes is in its ability to convert raw heat into mechanical work. Unlike the internal combustion engine, the steam engine is not particular about the source of heat. Also, modern steam engines burn fuel cleanly and efficiently, with relatively little pollution.
