3  Before the IR, there were 3 sources of power:  Muscle, wind, water  Each had + and - :  Muscle: works anywhere, but expensive and tires easily  Wind: free, but undependable  Water: constant output, but must be on a river  “If only we could combine the advantages and minimize the costs, think of how much work we could get done…”

5  The first artificially powered engine  Could run 24hr/d  Useable anywhere  Needed a constant supply of fuel (usually coal)  Credited to James Watt, 1775  First used in mining, then textiles, transportation  Kicks off the Industrial Revolution  Biggest change for humans since the Agricultural Rev

12 Factory Production ) Concentrates production in one place [materials, labor]. ) Located near sources of power [rather than labor or markets]. ) Owning requires a lot of capital investment [factory, machines, etc]
