What else can I help you with?
What do they use for a power source in factories?
Electricity
What power source did the first factories run on?
Water
What is the main source of power in American factories today?
Electricty
What was one important power source for factories in 18th century England?
water
What power sources were used during the industrial rev?
At first water power was the primary power source. Factories were built on the banks of rivers, and huge water wheels driven by the flow of the river would power the factory. Then the invention of the steam engine made it possible to build factories almost anywhere, and steam engines replaced water wheels as the primary power source in factories.
How did the development of the steam engine most affect the location of factories?
Factories could be built away from rivers using this alternative source of power.
What source of power did the first English factories use?
The first English factories primarily used water power as their main source of energy. This was particularly common in the textile industry, where water mills harnessed the flow of rivers to drive machinery. As the Industrial Revolution progressed, factories began to adopt steam power, which allowed for greater flexibility in location and increased production capabilities.
What was the first form of energy for factories?
The first form of energy used in factories was primarily water power, harnessed through water wheels. This method was prevalent during the early industrial period, particularly in textile manufacturing. As the Industrial Revolution progressed, steam power became the dominant energy source, utilizing steam engines to drive machinery and significantly increase production capabilities.
The power delivered at the output shaft of source of power -is known as?
the actual power
What mostly allowed manufacturers to build their factories away from rivers?
Steam energy allowed factories to move away from rivers.
Why were early factories built near rivers?
Because they provided water power to run the machinery and a place to dump their waste
Were early American factories located near water?
Yes....the pure power of water was needed to pollute our air and earth.
