Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book proposes a new, cost-effective method for propelling canal boats, one that eliminates the need for horses or expensive steam engines along the canal banks. The author, an experienced engineer, draws on the success of steam-powered locomotive engines used on railroads, adapting their principles to create a system for canals. By employing a steam-powered "locomotive boat," which both moves itself and tows other canal boats, the author demonstrates how it can move a significant amount of freight at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. This revolutionary approach promises to revolutionize the canal industry and transportation of goods by water, making it more economical and efficient than ever before. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
