Trial Run of First Successful Steamboat
Numéro d’image : 11632088
| James Watt's improvements to steam engines led to attempts to use them in boats,particularly in France. In 1783,The Marquis Claude Jouffroy,demonstrated the first successful steamboat,the Pyroscaphe,on the River Saone at Lyon. Its engine,built in Lyon to a design by Jouffroy,was basically a Newcomen engine,though he was aware of Watt's technical advances. It had two paddle wheels driven by a horizontal,parallel-motion,double-acting steam engine. The boat was able to progress upstream but the engine failed after fifteen minutes of operation. Though Jouffroy had demonstrated the viability of his steamboat,the Academy of Science was not convinced and denied him the resources to enable him to develop steam navigation on rivers. Steamboat development moved abroad to Scotland and America. Commercially successful steamers would not be developed for another 20 years | |
