Excerpt: ... rest, as was the case in the atmospheric engine, all the valves were thrown open and steam was blown through the engine to expel air from the cylinder, pipes, and condenser, and fill every part with steam. The equilibrium-valve was then closed, the steam and 1 See letter from Watt to Smeaton in 1778, in Farey on the Steam Engine, p. 329, note. exhaust valves being left open. The injection water being admitted into the condenser, the steam in the cylinder was destroyed, and a vacuum produced under the piston, whereupon the steam from the boiler, pressing upon its upper side, carried it to the bottom of the stroke. The steam and exhaust valves were then closed, and the equilibrium-valve was opened, thus allowing the steam to press equally on the upper and under sides of the piston; and the weight of the pump-rods, meeting with no resistance, carried the piston back to the top of the cylinder, the steam that was above it passing to its under side in the meanwhile. The equilibrium-valve was then closed, leaving the engine ready for another stroke, which ensued immediately upon the steam and exhaust valves being again opened. The steam was thus employed twice over, first above, and afterwards under, the piston, as is still the case in the Cornish pumping engine and other single-acting engines at the present day. CHAPTER XIII. Watt's Double-acting Engine, Or Engine Of RevoLution, FOR DRIVING MILL-WORK OF ALL KINDS. Reference has already been made to the attempts on the part of Watt to produce continuous motion round an axis, by means of an engine of the steamwheel class. In this he was unsuccessful. He was fully alive to the boundless field which existed for the application of an engine capable of producing a regular rotatory motion. It had...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nine remarkable men produced inventions that changed the world. The printing press, the telephone, powered flight, recording and others have made the modern world what it is. But who were the men who had these ideas and made reality of them? As David Angus shows, they were very different quiet, boisterous, confident, withdrawn but all had a moment of vision allied to single-minded determination to battle through numerous prototypes and produced something that really worked. It is a fascinating account for younger listeners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life and Legend of James Wattoffers a deeper understanding of the work and character of the great eighteenth-century engineer. Stripping away layers of legend built over generations, David Philip Miller finds behind the heroic engineer a conflicted man often diffident about his achievements but also ruthless in protecting his inventions and ideas, and determined in pursuit of money and fame. A skilled and creative engineer, Watt was also a compulsive experimentalist drawn to natural philosophical inquiry, and a chemistry of heat underlay much of his work, including his steam engineering. But Watt pursued the business of natural philosophy in a way characteristic of his roots in the Scottish “improving” tradition that was in tension with Enlightenment sensibilities. As Miller demonstrates, Watt’s accomplishments relied heavily on collaborations, not always acknowledged, with business partners, employees, philosophical friends, and, not least, his wives, children, and wider family. The legend created in his later years and “afterlife” claimed too much of nineteenth-century technology for Watt, but that legend was, and remains, a powerful cultural force.
