This series is informative and interesting; helps me understand how we got where we are today.

The is an excellent video documentary on the Industrial Revolution and the United Kingdom. I learned a lot from the presentation by the expert presenters. The Industrial Revolution was only one part of the Enlightenment occurring in Great Britain. English society was moving forward during this time. The English society, the English people, and the way the English people viewed the world had changed. Thank you.

The British never talked about the source of finance that made the industrial revolution possible. Also, who provided the market, as the industrial revolution was not self-sustaining. The answer was India, particularly Bengal, which the British want to hide. Bengal was occupied, in practice, by the British, in 1757. Industrial Revolution started in 1760.

India was not initially a market for British manufactured goods but a source of raw cotton, silk and spices. The industrial revolution was inevitable in Britain given its socio-economic structure and liberties.

This three part series was a great tool to use for my secondary research to apply to my future KZitem comments about how England was affected by population growth during the 1800s during its initial struggle towards the fight for Economic Freedom. During this innovative century you can tell mankind is truly determined to survive for more than just answers regarding evolution. Technology and Industry are a pretty big deal for our species survival. It's very evident from the information presented in this documentary!! Thanks for posting in regards to the Fair Use Copyright Law.

James Watt's invention of the world's first practical Steam Engine, in Scotland.

In Britain from 1800 to1900. 20,000 Waterwheels decreased in number. Windmills decreased in number. The Englishman Thomas Newcomen's 1,500 Atmospheric Pumps disappeared. The Scotsman James Watt's 500 Steam Engines and their descendants increased in number to 10,000,000 !!! For every SINGLE Waterwheel in 1800 there were now 500 James Watt type Steam Engines and their descendants in 1900 !!! The Power output of the whole country increased by 500 times, and so, Production capacity !!! In one human lifetime. And you don't need a flowing river of water for each one either! This WAS the Industrial Revolution, it was a Power Revolution and it was kicked off by only one single Invention, James Watt's Invention of the world's first PRACTICAL Steam Powered Engine in Scotland. It was nothing to do with efficiency, it was all due to the dumping of Newcomen's Atmospheric Power and Arkwright's Water-Power for Steam Power. Take away James Watt's Steam Power and you don't get an Industrial Revolution.

2) To add on the full point HOW AND WHY THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION STARTED AND IN BRITAIN NOT ELSEWHERE, the machinery with which to make a "complex automated process occur at a level abundant to supply the equivalent in profit to a factory as it is to a national GDP growth such as spinning and weaving cloth fabric required a special addition to machinery BEYOND MERE AUTOMATION AND COMPLEXITY OF TIMING AND MOVEMENT PRECISION as wooden waggonways and wooden bearings shows that hardwood and soft malleable metals can achieve for very short periods AND I MEAN can be very short periods of use. "Friction" , "torsion strains" on drive shafts and "ware efficiency" relating a TBO requirement is what actually stopped the Industrial revolution occurring until hardened/toughened metal bearings and higher tensile metal drive shafts, with SLIPPER BEARINGS and SLIPPER BUSH-BEARINGS ALSO LUBRICATED REGULARLY - WERE ENABLED TO THROUGHPUT the immense power without breaking and continue without requiring stopping too often for maintenance of bearings from the massive side-thrust as the drive train transferred power to a huge number of machines working in unison and time with each together from a giant water wheel. The metal ball bearing and metal rails greatly increased the already efficient method of horse drawn trains called "waggonways"(wooden railways). (AUTOMATION AND COMPLEXITY OF TIMING AND MOVEMENT PRECISION machines have been existent for millennia for some form of production work but LIMITED BY POWER THROUGHPUT AND TBO REQUIREMENT). To commit a final truth here, the steam engine was a very late comer indeed as it was effectively ONLY A PUMP until the mid early 19th century when Boulton and Watt expanded on the true inventors of the stationary engine whom had also realised the steam engines potential as "factory power" by modifying the drive output to beat in a "rotary motion" to drive a power wheel alike a water wheel. NOTE: The reason most and near all factories have BELTS and WHEELS well into the late 20th century (and present day in many) is THE REQUIREMENT FOR "GEARS" and CHEAP DRIVE TRANSFERS OVER THOSE GEAR WHEELS - EASILY UNDERSTOOD FOR REPAIR OR LOCAL- OR IN-HOUSE CONSTRUCTION. It overcomes the metallurgical problem of hardened steel or iron for gearing that also requires regular lubrication and very often per day, that was not properly understood at the beginning of the industrial revolution, unfortunately as you would know from today's machinery there is little difference to the complexity of modern metal gear cogs construction and a gear cog for a 19th century factory hence too the time and cost to obtain and replace and to store , a large economic risk ! *This proves to suffice the point FRICTION AND DRIVE SHAFT THROUGHPUT STRAINS on hundreds of robotic machines using only a small quantity of power each with timed parts REQUIRES AN IMMENSELY STRONG MAIN POWER DELIVERY DRIVE SHAFT FOR TORSION AND SIDE-THRUST FRICTION because of PTO to all the the machines. Ultimately the first half of the FACTORY , URBANISATION and INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION was over when the steam engine first began prominence as a factory power source. OVERCOMING FRICTION AND BEING ABLE TO HARNESS MASSIVE horse power THROUGHPUT ON A DRIVE TRAIN AND EFFICIENTLY IN TBO TERMS ALLOWING PREDICTABLE REPLACEMENT COSTING AND MANAGEMENT was the actual reason for the start of the Industrial Revolution, something hardwood was not quite able to do WITH BEING ABLE TO GUARANTEE RELIABLE EFFECTIVE WORKERS AND RESUPPLY BY TRAINEES !
