Видеолекция. Великий русский изобретатель Иван Ползунов
The 18th century is the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. The steam engine was one of the main engines of that era. It could drill granite mountains and work day and night. The home of the Industrial Revolution is England, but Russia had its masters as well. One of them is Ivan Ivanovich Polzunov, the inventor of the first two-cylinder steam engine in the world. His invention is really significant. Although historians often simplify it and say: “Polzunov is the first inventor of the steam engine”. Any British would say that they installed a steam engine in every mine but Polzunov surpassed modern heating engineers and was undoubtedly the first person who created the steam engine in Russia. Moreover, not only did he create the machine but also the way of production which did not depend on the natural water reserve.
