Cartwrights engine
Cartwrights engine. Historical artwork of Cartwrights alcohol engine that was patented in 1797. Edmund Cartwright (1743-1823) was an English inventor and clergyman. He patented a power loom for weaving cloth in 1785 and a wool combing machine in 1789. This engine used alcohol vapour instead of steam to drive the piston (centre), which turned the wheel.

This print showcases the remarkable Cartwrights engine, a groundbreaking invention that revolutionized the industrial landscape of the 18th century. Created by Edmund Cartwright, an ingenious English inventor and clergyman, this historical artwork captures his patented alcohol engine from 1797. Edmund Cartwright's name is synonymous with innovation as he had previously patented a power loom for weaving cloth in 1785 and a wool combing machine in 1789. However, it was his alcohol engine that truly showcased his technological prowess. Unlike traditional steam engines of the time, Cartwright's engine harnessed the power of alcohol vapor to drive its piston at its core. This innovative approach not only demonstrated his engineering brilliance but also highlighted his commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring alternative sources of energy. Published in "History and progress of the steam engine" in England during 1830, this monochromatic illustration serves as a testament to both Cartwright's ingenuity and the rapid advancements witnessed during this era. It offers us a glimpse into an age where industry thrived on scientific breakthroughs. As we admire this piece of artistry today, let us appreciate how Edmund Cartwright's pioneering spirit paved the way for future generations of inventors who continue to shape our world through their relentless pursuit of progress.
