It's actual existing history. Plenty of Englishmen were playing around with steam power in various forms, but it was Robert Fulton who first built a working steam engine that was reliable enough to rely on as an engine for a boat. It was a design that was adapted to every manner of purpose afterwards. Fulton turned steam power from an experimental plaything for rich dudes into something that could be used to improve everybody's standard of living. You fag.
Here are the names of some of the first inventors of the steam engine and those who improved designs. Thomas Savery, Thomas Newcomen, James Watt, Richard Trevithick, John Smeaton. All British, it seems like you americans still can't go over the fact that everything that made you great came from the British. You're proving the ignorant american stereotype right again
Again, you seem to be stuck with this idea of who "invented" shit. Designs on paper and experimental prototypes notwithstanding, PRACTICAL COMMERCIAL steam power is derived from Fulton's work. I have pointed this out multiple times, that I am talking about actual industrial processes that changed human life forever, not who "invented" the original concepts.
America is the place that turned dreams into reality, and that really chaps your hide, because you're not American. i understand why you'd be jealous of us, I truly do. Your envy is quite pleasurable to behold.
Fulton was born in British America, educated by the British and decided to try and make a steam boat after watching the Charlotte Dundas steamboat sail in Scotland, which is considered the second successful steamboat. Your argument is falling apart. Is it just the british you hate or all the filthy goyim? What's next did the jewish Dodge Brothers invent the first car?
Except it was already used in boats in Britain, locomotives too. And he used James Watts engine design. Funny in a thread about what America gave to the world the one thing you pick is this. Out of all the things you could have picked. Lol
Except it was already used in boats in Britain, locomotives too.
Fulton's COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL steamboat: 1807 Everybody else up to that point: Experimental trials, designs on paper that never went anywhere, a few mildly successful tests.
