Product Information

Excerpt from Rudimentary Treatise on the Power of Water: As Applied to Drive Flour Mills, and to Give Motion to Turbines and Other Hydrostatic Engines Some of the most pleasant days of the author's early life were passed on a small, but picturesque estate belonging to his family, on which were three corn mills - one driven by wind, and two by water. To his youthful associations with these and their tenants may in part be owing his attachment to mechanical pursuits. Subsequently his father was induced, as an investment, to build, on other property, a flour-mill driven by steam, to which, during its erection, he was a daily visitor. In after life his professional employment as a civil engineer frequently involved the construction of waterwheels, many of them on a large scale, for drainage and irrigation, and for motive power, besides hydraulic works of various kinds. Few persons have had occasion to use the steam-engine more extensively, and he is fully sensible of its great value and importance as a prime mover for machinery; yet he has often felt that water-power has been unduly superseded or neglected when it might have been usefully employed; there are many places where fuel is scarce, where water abounds, and where mechanical power is wanted, but much expense cant be afforded; and if motive power be used at all, it must be obtained at light cost.
