The story is summarized as follows:
The motivation behind Watt’s invention of steam machinery was not, as most people say, seeing the steam coming out of the kettle and raising the lid to emit a glowing light. The sound of the sound triggered something as simple as his invention of the steam engine. The reason why he was able to complete the invention of the steam engine was after thirty years of painstaking research.
The invention of the steam engine changed human life and the civilization of the world. Things that were done by people's labor in the past, or machines that were turned by the power of oxen, horses, waterwheels, windmills, etc., were all replaced by steam engines. Modern mechanical civilization came about with the steam engine, so Watt was a great benefactor of modern civilization.
The invention of the steam engine was not accomplished by Watt alone. He has a best friend named Bolton, a great businessman, and a loyal disciple, Matt. These two people have always been inseparable to help him, so Watt was able to complete such a great invention.
The steam engine has a great historical role. It has promoted the development of the machinery industry and even society, solved the most critical problems in the production of large machines, and promoted unprecedented progress in transportation.
The thermodynamics established with its development and Watt's improved steam engine mechanics laid the foundation for the development of steam turbines and internal combustion engines; the steam turbine inherited the characteristics of the steam engine using steam as the working fluid, and the use of a condenser With the advantage of reducing exhaust steam pressure, the disadvantages of reciprocating motion and intermittent steam intake are abandoned; the internal combustion engine inherits the basic structure and transmission form of the steam engine, and adopts the method of directly inputting fuel into the cylinder for combustion, forming a much higher thermal efficiency. cycle.
Part of the reason for the industrial revolution was the improvement of the steam engine (Watt did not invent the steam engine, he just improved it), and the emergence of the steam locomotive was also due to the improvement of the steam engine and the needs of future generations. Britain encouraged inventions, and when the population increased and the production speed needed to increase, some people began to work hard to improve the production equipment at that time. Watt was one of them. Watt's improvement of the steam engine led to a series of technological revolutions, from manual labor to power machines. Production shifts.
So the improvement of steam engines is definitely one of the reasons for the industrial revolution. A steam locomotive is a railway locomotive that uses a steam engine as its power source. Therefore, without the improvement of the steam engine, the birth of this means of transportation would not have been possible.
