Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a deep dive into the history of steam engines used for maritime purposes. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of using salt water as a means of generating steam power for marine engines. Key concerns include the density and chemical impact of salt water on boilers and engines and the necessity to blow off super-salted water. The author introduces the invention of a condenser that can supply marine engines with fresh water to replace the use of salt water. This invention significantly increases the power of steam engines, reduces the cost of repairs, eliminates the need for copper in construction, extends the lifespan of iron boilers, lowers fuel consumption, and obviates the formation of scale. The book also includes testimonials from engineers and ship captains who have successfully used the condenser, highlighting its effectiveness and the substantial benefits it offers to the maritime industry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the origins of the British peerage system, showing how it developed in tandem with but always dependent on the Crown. The author argues that it was the Crown's need for supportâ"first against the Church, then against a rebellious aristocracyâ"which led to the rise of the peerage. The Crown granted land and titles in exchange for the support of powerful noblemen who served as advisors, allies, and soldiers. Then, as the power of the peerage grew, the Crown created new titles of nobility to counterbalance the power of the greatest nobles. This led in time to the elaborate hierarchy of titles, dukedoms, marquesses, earls, etc., with which we are familiar today. The book also explores the relationship between the peerage and the common people in England and the evolution of its role and perception over time. The author's deep research offers a rich context for understanding an institution that for centuries formed the backbone of British society.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces an invention with the potential to revolutionize marine steam navigation by introducing an entirely new means of supplying fresh water to steam engines on ships. While the necessity of fresh water for steam engines on ships has long been understood, the author presents evidence that his new invention is the first to fully meet the need for a reliable, efficient, and economical system. The author argues that this invention is a major advancement over previous attempts to solve this problem, and presents testimonials from engineers and ship owners attesting to its success. The book includes a detailed discussion of the invention's operation, its advantages over existing methods, and its potential impact on the future of marine steam navigation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
