Una d\u00e9cada antes de la Revoluci\u00f3n Americana, el fabricante de instrumentos de Glasgow James Watt recibi\u00f3 el encargo de reparar una m\u00e1quina de vapor de Newcomen. R\u00e1pidamente se dio cuenta de que el dise\u00f1o pod\u00eda mejorarse a\u00f1adiendo un serpent\u00edn condensador externo, que aumentaba enormemente la eficiencia t\u00e9rmica. La m\u00e1quina de vapor de Watt pronto se generaliz\u00f3 en la miner\u00eda, la industria textil y otras industrias. Surgieron molinos y f\u00e1bricas, los trabajadores se trasladaron a las ciudades y la sociedad agraria del mundo se transform\u00f3 gradualmente en una sociedad mecanizada. La Primera Revoluci\u00f3n Industrial hab\u00eda comenzado.<\/p>\n
Sin embargo, el crecimiento industrial se vio pronto obstaculizado por la escasez de acero barato. Una vez m\u00e1s, un simple invento -la introducci\u00f3n de aire comprimido en un horno lleno de arrabio fundido- lo cambi\u00f3 todo. El inventor ingl\u00e9s Sir Henry Bessemer patent\u00f3 su nuevo proceso en 1856 y empez\u00f3 a utilizarlo para producir acero mucho m\u00e1s r\u00e1pidamente y por una fracci\u00f3n del coste de los m\u00e9todos de la competencia. El uso creciente de la electricidad y el desarrollo por Henry Ford de m\u00e9todos de producci\u00f3n en cadena a principios del siglo XX impulsaron a\u00fan m\u00e1s esta segunda fase de la revoluci\u00f3n industrial, allanando el camino para nuestra sociedad industrial moderna.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
