Steam Engines: The Miracle of Water

We take for granted that ships can carry us and our products across the seas. But while “Setting Sail” once literally meant billowing clouds of canvas, the Industrial Revolution transformed it into the simple problem of boiling water. Steam power changed everything, from how we powered our factories and propelled our ships, to a whole new method of transportation that conquered even our planet’s dryest
and highest lands. This class explores the evolution of steam power, the ingenuity needed to maximize its potential and the transition from pistons to turbines – and from fossil fuels to nuclear power - that keeps steam relevant today.
