Why NO mention of Richard Trevithick the real inventor of the true steam engine. James What was a great researcher and modifier of the atmospheric engine. He advanced the efficiency of the atmospheric engine in leaps and bounds BUT he did argue against high pressure steam. Richard Trevithick was an innovator and pushed for High pressure steam.
The great english civil engineer John Smeaton was the Great Improver of the Newcomen Atmospheric Pump at the time of James Watt. James Watt was the Inventer of the Steam powered Pump and shorty after, the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Powered Engine. Not Trevithick. There's nothing Atmospheric about Watt's Pumps and Engines. @Centuries2024
Bloomfield Colliery Near Dudley 1776: ' Birmingham, March 11th. On Friday last a Steam Engine constructed upon Mr Watt's new principles, was set to work at Bloomfield Colliery, Dudley. From the first moment of it's setting to work it made about 14 or 15 strokes per minute, and emptied the engine pit (which is about 90 feet deep, and stood 57 feet high in water) in less than an hour. This engine is applied to the working of a pump 14 inches and a half diameter, which is capable of doing to the depth 300 feet, or even 360 if wanted, with one fourth of the fuel that a common engine would require to produce the fame quantity of power. The cylinder is 50 inches diameter, and the lenth of the stroke is seven feet. These engines are not worked by the pressure of the atmosphere. Their principles are very different from all others.
Somerset, Calley Savery, Newcomen and Smeaton all built Atmospheric Pumps. Smeaton thought nobody could build a better Pump than him. He was in direct competition with Watt, but he lost out to Watt's newly Invented Steam Powered Pump, soon to become newly invented Steam Powered Engine. The first TRUE Steam Engine, which by the way kicked off the Industrial Revolution.Sorry, but it wasn't Trevithick. There's nothing Atmospheric about Watt's Steam Pumps and Engines.
Very good documentary. Thank you!
thank you from the bottom of my heart, it's motivating.
Impressive. Great job!
thanks
wow great stuff! keep making these , thank you!
Thank you. We'll keep going.

history remembers Watt as he was the one who improved the engine and was able to adapt to the market.
