WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -But, the invention of Watt’s rotary steam engine changed everything. Textile factories no longer had to be built right next to a river. However large buildings were required for the new large steam engines, spinning mules, and power looms. In 1790, Arkwright used steam power to run his spinning mule factory.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first commercial steam-powered device was a water pump, developed in 1698 by Thomas Savery. It used condensing steam to create a vacuum which raised water from below and then used steam pressure to raise it higher.

Detailed explanation-3: -The coal, iron and steel industries mutually stimulated each other during the revolution. There was an obvious need for coal to power steam engines, but these engines also allowed for deeper mines and greater coal production, making the fuel cheaper and steam cheaper, thus producing more demand for coal.

Detailed explanation-4: -In 1769, James Watt built a good steam engine. The steam engines were being used to run machines in factories instead of water power. Now factories could be built farther away from water sources.
