FORGING MOTION

Have you ever thought about how our world would be if Thomas Savery hadn’t had that stroke of genius in 1698 and created the world’s 1st Steam Engine? What if James Wyatt hadn’t made the improvements he did, that forever immortalized him in the annals of history? How different would our world be if such pioneers hadn’t existed or their great inventions were laughed at and forgotten about? What if these engines were never developed?

All automobiles may seem trivial and taken for granted but at their core lays the engine. A marvel of engineering on whose back civilization now stands. It comes in different sizes and capabilities, but each engine does the same. It generates energy from fuel to power what its connected to. During your exploration, you will discover breakthroughs along with pioneering scientists who took risks in their fields. From Thomas Savery to James Wyatt, from Rudolf Diesel to Nikolaus August Otto, from Richard Trevithick to George Stephenson.

You will discover when the tree of history of engines branches out. An airplane engine is different from that of a car or a ship or a train and you will find when that difference came about, what makes it different and by whose hands did it come about?
