British innovation in transport

Throughout the years, British inventors have made a significant contribution to transport, and this continues
to this day. From tractors to trains, the steam engine was a popular way of powering all kinds of machinery
during the industrial revolution. In 1765, the steam engine was developed (by the Scotsman James Watt and
his contemporaries) to greatly improve its efficiency. This had a huge impact on industry in Britain and
throughout the world, and later, in 1928, Britain pioneered another type of engine. The jet engine was invented
by Frank Whittle –the man who some people say ‘shrank the world’ by enabling people to travel by
aircraft.Before cars, cycling was a preferred method of getting around. The Penny Farthing bicycle was
invented in 1871 by James Starley, and was very popular in Victorian times. It was named after the ‘penny’
(a large coin) and the ‘farthing’ (a smaller coin) because the front wheel was much bigger than the back wheel,
and therefore the bicycle represented the two coins in appearance. Riding a bike became a more comfortable
experience when the pneumatic tyre was invented in 1885. Since then, pneumatic tyres have become
ubiquitous and are now used on all modern bikes –including motorbikes. Unlike environmentally friendly
bicycles, however, motorbikes produce pollutants which some people believe are responsible for global
warming.

In 2005, the hydrogen fuel cell motorbike was designed to address this problem. Although the current price
for this kind of motorbike is very high, they will become more affordable as demand for them increases, and
scientists predict that, in the future, all major car manufacturers will be mass-producing hydrogen fuel
vehicles.Londoners, and visitors to the capital city, are likely to be very familiar with ‘The Tube’, which carries
more than one billion passengers every year. The subway train was invented in 1865 and London was the first
city to have an underground railway system. Countries throughout the world soon replicated the idea and there
are now approximately 160 similar systems in operation internationally. In the future, transport may be taken
to a much greater extreme and, in the same way that Frank Whittle shrank the world with the jet engine,
spacecraft looks set to shrink the universe. The idea of space travel was invented in 2009 and people have
already bought tickets for the British company Virginspace flights, which are scheduled for 2013.

Liberty. They remember voices of the Chinese people asking for freedom and democracy. And they remember
the repression of the Chinese government in 1989. It would be a big mistake to create a new memory like that
