Is it true that Using new steam-driven machines northern factory owners needed fewer workers?

Yes, to an extent. Upon the invention of the steam engine many steam powered machines were developed; these machines could perform the same tasks as many men. Whilst the machines needed to be operated and maintained by people, they required less people than would be needed for the manual labour.


Why did industrial revolution occurred?

The industrial revolution of the 18th century was when manufacturing went from hand production to machine production and conditions were improved for the workers. Some innovations included mechanical spinning wheels, the ability to roll iron rather than hand hammer the iron, and using steam to power machines.


Contribution of arturo alcaraz?

Arturo Alcaraz is the one who powered an electric light bulb using steam-powered electricity (geothermal energy) near the town of Tiwi in the Philippines which gave him the title, "Father of Geothermal Energy of the Philippines"


What did steam power increase the need for during the Industrial Revolution?

coal and iron coal was found out to be used for machines instead of using water and if you used water you had to have a factory by a river so cola was the answer iron was used to make the machine but poeple converted it into steel and cheaper and stronger metal


Is Hawaii the only state that grows coffee?

Hawaii is the only state in the USA that has significant coffee production. Coffee is grown in small quantities in a few other states. Coffee has been grown as far north as Iceland, using greenhouses heated by volcanic steam.

How is electricity produced using nuclear reactors?

water is heated up by nuclear fission and turned into steam, that steam then turns massive turbines which generate electricity.


Is steam energy?

Steam energy is a form of thermal energy that is harnessed by using steam to power turbines that generate electricity. It is commonly used in power plants that rely on steam as a source of energy to produce electricity.


What are useful and non-useful energy transfers in the production of electricity using coal?

Useful energy transfers in the production of electricity using coal occur when heat from burning coal is used to generate steam, which drives turbines to produce electricity. Non-useful energy transfers include heat lost through exhaust gases and in the cooling process of the power plant, which reduce the overall efficiency of the energy conversion process.


What are the steps taken to produce electricity using fossil fuels?

Fossil fuel (coal) is burnt in furnaces. The heat produced turns water into steam. The steam is fed through steam turbine generators. It is these generators that produce electricity. This electricity is fed onto the national grid.


How do you get electricity from burning oil?

Electricity can be generated from burning oil by using the heat produced to boil water and create steam. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity. This process is known as thermal power generation.

How steam generates electricity?

Steam generates electricity by spinning turbines located within electromagnetic fields. The steam can be generated by heating water using many types of fuels, such as coal, gas, and oil, or through the heat generated from controlled nuclear reactions.
