直到18世纪,动力的主要来源仍然是水、风和马匹。蒸汽机的出现改变了一切,过去的生活不复存在。第一台蒸汽机仅用于从矿井中抽水;但在1782年,一位苏格兰的工程师詹姆斯·瓦特制造了一种新机器,并很快将它用于驱动机械。随后,理查德·特莱威狄产生了一个伟大的想法:使用蒸汽机产生的动力在铁路上牵引机车。正如他们所说,这一切创造了历史。 Until the eighteenth century, the main source of power was still water, wind and horses. The appearance of a steam engine changed everything, and past life no longer exists. The first steam engine was only used to pump water from the mine; but in 1782, a Scottish engineer, James Watt, made a new machine and quickly used it to power the machine. Subsequently, Richard Trevese produced a great idea: using locomotives to power locomotives on railroads. As they say, all this creates history.
