James Watt did not invent the steam train. The steam train was developed by George Stephenson in 1814. James Watt did, however, pioneer improvements to the steam engine, which eventually led to the development of steam-powered locomotives.
the steam engine came from the greeks and then the europeans made it for trasportation.
1830sPeter Cooper only improved upon the train idea from Great Britian and brought it to the US. He made a small example locomotive called Tom Thumb. By the 1860s, about 30,000 miles of railroad was in the US.
Sunlight + solar panel = free energy.
The mechnical idea behind a Steam engine is very simple: Take a Tea Pot and seal it up. Conect an outlet pipe to a Cylinder with a Piston in it. Boil the water The steam will propel the Piston down the cylinder Conect the piston to a crank, say on a Locomotive wheel (Very Small Locomotive if we are using my tea pot) Create a valve system that will allow thew steam in when the piston is ready to push the crank and allow the steam out when the piston is ready to travel back to the start point. Bingo Bango the Steam age has arrived
We don't know who came up with the idea, but the first commercially-successful steam engine was developed and built by Robert Fulton. Steam-powered machines were known to the ancient Greeks, but they did not harness the power in noticeably useful ways. Yes, Zbw is correct about the greeks, but modern steam power is derived from James Watt seeing a kettle boil on the fire & recognising power which could be harnessed.... or is that apocryphal ?
The idea of a car evolved from the need for efficient transportation. Early inventors like Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot experimented with steam-powered vehicles in the 18th century, while later developments in the 19th century, such as the internal combustion engine, paved the way for gasoline-powered cars. The combination of innovation in engineering, the desire for personal mobility, and the industrial revolution's technological advancements ultimately led to the creation of the modern automobile.
The first steam-powered boat was a paddle steamer built in France but the idea was not developed any further. Similar boats were made in 1785 in Philadelphia and in Scotland. But, commercially viable steamboats were not made until the beginning of the 19th century.
Peter Cooper's idea proved that it was possible to harness steam power for transportation, as demonstrated by his construction of the first American steam locomotive, the Tom Thumb, in 1830. This innovation showcased the potential of railroads to revolutionize travel and commerce, significantly impacting the growth of the American economy. Cooper's work laid the foundation for the expansion of the railway system, highlighting the importance of technological advancements in industrial progress.
One of the first was Charles Parsons' ship Turbinia, built in 1894. Its inventor took it to the British Royal Navy's annual Spithead Review, and disrupted the proceedings by steaming up and down at high speed, outrunning the Navy vessels ordered to intercept it.After that the idea was taken up by the Navy and the first steam-turbine-powered destroyers were launched in 1899.
As an idea to be strived for. The first working loco was built and operated in 1804.
Ummm, I dunno...maybe try something along the lines of ASKING said female?That seems like a novel idea to me.
