The Steam Digester (1 Jan 1679 Jahr – 1 Jan 1679 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

This was the year that the steam digester was developed, built by Denis Papin, a French physicist. This was the predecessor to the pressure cooker and the steam engine, and it was capable of successfully utilizing steam to boil water for the purposes of cooking all kinds of foods and softening bones to use for fertilizer. As such, this contraption inspired the two aforementioned inventions that went on to revolutionize machinery as a whole. It also had a very important mechanism: a safety valve that would open to release pressure if it built up too much and would not close until the pressure within was low enough to allow it to.
