Specialist Notes

Rare and valuable scientific edition, of the first text that accurately describes the pressure cooker , indicating its benefits in cooking food. Starting from the experience of the pressure cooker, Papin built his first steam engine & nbsp; in 1707. & nbsp; His main interest was physics. In 1687, he provides a first theory of a machine operating by means of the reciprocating motion of a piston. This machine was based on the model of the atmospheric machines of those times.
