Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins by introducing the simple machines of antiquity: the lever, the inclined plane, the wedge, screw, and pulley. The author demonstrates the evolution of these concepts through the development of water pumps, steam engines, and automobiles. The book places the reader in the workshop of James Watt, where they'll witness the invention of the steam engine. They'll then travel through time to the development of the Diesel engine by observing the author's explanations and diagrams. The author takes a deep dive into the concepts of steam and other heat engines, demonstrating the physics behind them. The book concludes with an exploration of how steam is used in the engines of ships, trains, and even automobiles. The insights of this book will appeal to anyone interested in the history and mechanics of machinery, from students to engineers and inventors.
