The Industrial Revolution-a Useful Abstraction In the past years, there have been more and more voices that claim, to rephrase Coleman (1983), that the Industrial Revolution is "a concept too many." 2 The feeling is that the term is either too vague to be of any use at all or that it produces false connotations of abrupt change comparable in its suddenness to the French Revolution. The main int...

Strong synergies between ultralight mass, ultralow drag, and hybrid-electric drive can produce attractive designs for superefficient cars (and many other vehicles). A realistic near-term 4–5-passenger “hypercar”—curb mass 585 kg (advanced-polymer-composite monocoque), CDA 0.36 m, r0 0.0062, fuel-to-shaft ηav 0.385, fuel-to-wheels ηav 0.29, accessory load 250 Wav—can achieve average fuel economy...

This paper uses the adoption and invention of the spinning jenny as a test case to understand why the industrial revolution occurred in Britain in the eighteenth century rather than in France or India. It is shown that wages were much higher relative to capital prices in Britain than in other countries. Calculation of the profitability of adopting the spinning jenny shows that it was profitable...

The first Industrial Revolution and most technological developments preceding it had little or no scientific base. It created a chemical industry with no chemistry, an iron industry without metallurgy, power machinery without thermodynamics. Engineering, medical technology, and agriculture until 1850 were pragmatic bodies of applied knowledge in which things were know to work, but rarely was it...
