Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of literature by John Ericsson, inventor of the caloric engine. Caloric engines were invented before steam engines but fell out of favor due to technological limitations. Ericsson sought to solve these problems, and his perfected caloric engines could now be used to power printing presses, hoisting machinery, and water pumps. This new technology made steam power accessible to small operations that could not afford steam engines. Many of Ericsson's letters included in this book are personal testimonials from early adopters, demonstrating the effectiveness and economic viability of the caloric engine. 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 9781334182563_0
