(Thomas) The Miner's Friend; Or, An Engine to Raise Water by Fire Produced by Steffen Haugk "The Miner's Friend; Or, An Engine to Raise Water by Fire" by Thomas Savery is a scientific publication written in the early 18th century. This book focuses on the innovative steam engine designed for the purpose of raising water, particularly in mining operations. The treatise not only describes the workings of the engine but also addresses its applications and advantages over existing methods of water removal in mines. In the book, Savery presents a detailed examination of his steam engine, outlining its design, functionality, and efficiency in raising water from mines. He describes how the engine works by heating water to create steam, which then drives the water upward through a system of pipes. Savery makes a case for the economic benefits of his invention, arguing that it can significantly reduce labor costs associated with traditional water-raising methods. Throughout the text, he engages in a dialogue with a miner, addressing common objections and demonstrating the practicality and reliability of his engine. Through this exchange, Savery aims to convince miners of the advantages of adopting his invention in their operations, emphasizing not only the immediate benefits but also the long-term potential for increased productivity in mining.
