Synopsis

Excerpt from Diesel: The Modern Power

Early in history men began to think of mechanical means of obtaining power. It is related that in 130 rc. Hero built the first steam engine. However, over nine teen centuries were to pass before James Watt made the steam engine a practical means of doing work. From Watt''s time on, the develop ment of the steam engine and its utilization were extremely rapid. On rails, on water, and in industry it was almost supreme for a hundred years. Steam engines are at their best when large units are needed. But they are still not as efficient as internal combustion engines. Portable steam plants are difficult to build small enough for uses where weight and space are factors.
