• Industrial Revolution I INTRODUCTION Industrial Revolution, widespread replacement of manual labor by machines that began in Britain in the 18th century and is still continuing in some parts of the world.

  The most important advance in iron production occurred in 1784 when Englishman Henry Cort invented new techniques for rolling raw iron, a finishing process thatshapes iron into the desired size and form. These advances in metalworking were an important part of industrialization. They enabled iron, which was relativelyinexpensive and abundant, to be used in many new ways, such as building heavy machinery. Iron was well suited for heavy machinery because of its strength anddurability. Because of t...

  Edison e Eastman con una cámaraThomas Edison (derecha) trabajando con George Eastman en una cámara cinematográfica. Además de inventar la bombilla, elfonógrafo y el generador eléctrico, Edison desarrolló la tecnología cinematográfica y sincronizó películas con sonido grabado,realizando las primeras películas del cine sonoro.Culver Pictures Hasta 1890, los científicos estaban interesados principalmente en el desarrollo de la fotografía más que en el de la cinematografía. Esto cambió cuando el ant...

• Turbine.

  steam turbine has supplanted the reciprocating engine as a prime mover in large electricity-generating plants and is also used as a means of jet propulsion. Steam turbines are used in the generation of nuclear power and in nuclear ship propulsion. They operate with fuel-fired boilers for power generation. In cogenerationapplications requiring both process heat (heat used in an industrial process) and electricity, steam is raised at high pressure in the boiler and extracted from the turbineat th...

• Steam Engine.

  wear caused by this pressure, steam-engine valves are frequently made in a cylindrical form entirely enclosing the piston, so that the pressure is equal all around thevalve and friction is minimized. The development of this type of valve is attributed to the American inventor and manufacturer George Henry Corliss. In other types ofslide valves, the moving portion of the valve is designed so that steam does not press directly on the back of the valve. The linkage between the piston of the engine...

• Thomas Edison.

  While Edison was working on the electric light, he made a scientific discovery that would become important to future generations. Edison noticed that particles of carbonfrom the filament blackened the insides of his light bulbs. This effect was caused by the emission of electrons from the filament, although Edison made the discoverybefore he and other scientists knew the electron existed. Not until 1897 did British physicist J. J. Thomson prove that the blackening observed by Edison was caused b...

• Máquina de vapor - ciencia y tecnologia.

  Trevithick utilizó este modelo de máquina de vapor para mover la primera locomotora de tren de todos los tiempos. Tanto Trevithick como Evans desarrollaron tambiéncarruajes con motor para carretera. Por esta época el ingeniero e inventor británico Arthur Woolf desarrolló las primeras máquinas de vapor compuestas. En estas máquinas se utiliza vapor a alta presión en uncilindro y cuando se ha expandido y perdido presión es conducido a otro cilindro donde se expande aún más. Los primeros motores de...

• Helicopter.

  naturally flaps down so as to increase lift. Flapping allows the differences in lift caused by uneven rotor tip speed to cancel out, producing a stable ride. Many helicoptersuse mechanical hinges with lubricated bearings, but some use flexible straps made of a composite material in order to reduce the required maintenance. Helicopters require different amounts of lift and thrust at different times during flight, because the aerodynamic forces acting on them change during hovering andacceleration...

• REMEMBER UNCLE AUGUST, THE UNHAPPY INVENTOR de Georg Grosz

  REMEMBER UNCLE AUGUST, THE UNHAPPY INVENTOR 1919 Peintre allemand Biographie '2:; Georg Grosz, né à Berlin en 1893, reçut sa formation artistique à un tournant histo­ rique de la culture mondiale. Dès le com­ mencement de son parcours artistique, il montre beaucoup d'intérêt pour le gra­ phisme. Mais la personnalité artistique de Grosz fut surtout influencée par l'expérience de l'expressionnisme allemand et marquée à jamais par les guerres qui b...
