Excerpt from Railway Locomotion and Steam Navigation: Their Principles and Practice
Her graceful figure excited the admiration of the multitude, and amongst the crowds who flocked to her decks I made a cursory inspection of the engine, in order to see by what inconceptible pro gross of mechanical ingenuity the power of the machine, as described, could be compressed into the small compass of 375 horses.

Excerpt from Railway Locomotion and Steam Navigation: Their Principles and Practice
Some months since it was comtemplated by influential parties in New South Wales to establish a railway from Sydney to Goulburne, the distance, as the crow flies, being about one hundred miles. A provisional committee was appointed to ascertain the probable income and expenditure, and engineers were invited to communicate with them, as to the practicability of the project and the best mode of carrying it into effect.
Although thirty-two years had passed since I relinquished that profession, I was induced to commence an examination of the principles of steam conveyance on railways, the result of which was laid before the committee in different papers, and forms the matter of the following pages, in so far as they relate to that subject.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a passionate and deeply insightful exploration of the science of locomotion, specifically focusing on the mechanics of railways and steam navigation. Published in an era when these technologies were rapidly changing the world, the author challenges the prevailing scientific theories of his day, particularly those of Dr. Hutton, a prominent mathematician and physicist. The author argues that the established understanding of force and resistance in fluids, as well as the impact of falling bodies, is fundamentally flawed and proposes his own alternative theories. He presents his arguments in a clear and accessible style, drawing on practical experience, real-world examples, and rigorous mathematical reasoning. The book delves into the complexities of designing efficient and safe railways and steamships, challenging conventional wisdom and highlighting the importance of accurate scientific knowledge in the development of these crucial technologies. Ultimately, this book is a powerful call for a reassessment of accepted scientific truths, and a reminder of the vital role of accurate understanding in engineering progress. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332065776_0
