Hi everyone, my name is Elena Klein.
- 00:04 - 00:05
Today,
- 00:05 - 00:08
I will be presenting the importance of the steam engine
- 00:08 - 00:12
and how this made a major impact on european industrialization.
- 00:12 - 00:16
So the first point I want to touch on is
- 00:16 - 00:19
the background in the history of why this all started,
- 00:19 - 00:20
where it all began
- 00:20 - 00:25
and then I will transition to the development process and the positive
- 00:25 - 00:30
and negative effects of the steam engine and what that all entailed
- 00:30 - 00:32
then to conclude this presentation,
- 00:32 - 00:35
I will speak on the importance of the use of this power energy source and
- 00:35 - 00:40
how um it led to live a sustainable society in which we live today.
- 00:41 - 00:46
First, a little background on the same engine um, it was first developed by Thomas,
- 00:46 - 00:51
knew come in, which is that happened 1712 and later by James Watt.
- 00:51 - 00:53
The steam engine had become the most
- 00:53 - 00:57
popular invention used during european industrialization.
- 00:58 - 01:02
Uh Steam power was used as a primary source of energy in which industries
- 01:02 - 01:05
used to increase in manufacturing and output
- 01:05 - 01:08
um and decrease shipping time and costs.
- 01:09 - 01:13
Although this historic energy source would be driving force of innovation,
- 01:13 - 01:18
um invention and urbanization for the next century.
- 01:18 - 01:20
Many people during this time frame,
- 01:20 - 01:25
so only the benefits in the use of this invention and did not take into account or
- 01:25 - 01:28
consideration of the negative consequences which would have
- 01:28 - 01:31
long term effects on the environment in society.
- 01:32 - 01:34
During the first industrial revolution,
- 01:34 - 01:37
the use of the steam power would allow the
- 01:37 - 01:41
growth in european society in manufacturing but would also
- 01:41 - 01:45
lead to unintended consequences of pollution from factories running
- 01:45 - 01:49
off steam power and the search for yet cheaper,
- 01:49 - 01:51
more efficient and fuel source.
- 01:51 - 01:54
Although there were negative impacts, there were also positive outcomes,
- 01:55 - 01:56
positive outcomes,
- 01:56 - 01:58
which meant that there was an increase in
- 01:58 - 02:00
manufacturing in an increase in production rate,
- 02:00 - 02:05
businesses were booming while societies were almost falling apart.
- 02:05 - 02:08
The reason being is because families would struggle, they would make ends meet,
- 02:08 - 02:12
would be forced to relocate and seek for new job opportunities
- 02:12 - 02:14
um since their businesses cannot compete with the
- 02:14 - 02:17
supply and demand that the companies that we're facing
- 02:17 - 02:19
um or that the steam engines had
- 02:20 - 02:22
steam engines were used for all sorts of things,
- 02:22 - 02:24
from being using the cotton spinning
- 02:24 - 02:27
industry to using the transportation purposes,
- 02:27 - 02:30
uh, for trades all across the world.
- 02:30 - 02:34
Some even used it for travel purposes, but when they were first invented,
- 02:34 - 02:39
they were used to raise power in water wheels to help drain out those minds.
- 02:39 - 02:43
This was when the first person by the name of James watt came in,
- 02:43 - 02:46
what wanted to create a steam engine that was more affordable,
- 02:46 - 02:50
but yet more fuel efficient than one new cummins invented
- 02:50 - 02:53
because not everyone could afford it as a steam engine,
- 02:53 - 02:56
even though it was caused the leading growth of the industry,
- 02:56 - 02:59
it didn't stop for the pricing to go in up.
- 02:59 - 03:01
That means that steam engines are what
- 03:01 - 03:04
drove Britain and european societies to become
- 03:04 - 03:09
more successful than ever successful in ways that we've never seen or heard before
- 03:10 - 03:14
with the use of this technology, societies would not be where they're at today.
- 03:14 - 03:15
Without it,
- 03:15 - 03:17
this technology has brought many obstacles,
- 03:17 - 03:19
but also has proven to be one of
- 03:19 - 03:23
the greatest overall successes in european industrialization.
- 03:23 - 03:24
Air.
- 03:24 - 03:28
Thank you so much, and that is my presentation.
- 03:29 - 03:29
Take care.
