What are typical features of the Roman city?
And where can one still find evidence of the Roman city in Germany today?
Nipple piercings / Origin and tradition? Which cultures adorned themselves with them?
Where does nipple piercing come from, what tradition does it stem from, and which tribes/peoples wore it? (e.g., indigenous peoples, Mayans, Vikings, ancient Egypt, etc.) I'm interested in the historical background, among which peoples and tribes it was common and considered a beauty ideal, and all that…
Origin of the nobility?
ByDegnr
How and when did the first kings/nobles emerge who stood out from the rest of society? After all, nobody wants to be someone's subject, so how did the first monarchs manage to set themselves apart from the others?
The steam power could be used 24 hours a day, all other energies were always dependent on the respective conditions. Wind and enough water, too much of it has been harmful.
Today wind power, converted into electrical energy and intermediately stored is advantageous. You can always use this energy from the socket as part of the energy mix anywhere. Even better hydropower plant, which is constantly available, is also used to store energy (water in the reservoir pump).
Anno did not have the electrical network. There was direct use of wind power in the windmill. And from hydroelectric power station on the river.
Now hydroelectric power station was designed so that it was permanently available, there was only wind when it was windy.
There was always steam when you had a certain amount of water and heating material available. Also in the deepest mining tunnel. Also in the industrial hall far from river. And you could quickly get a 2. Construction of a machine or a larger one, with hydroelectric power plant and wind power meant the conversion of the entire plant.
Muscle power is also available everywhere. But the amount of it, well, with animals… 50 horses need more space than just a strong steam engine.
And 250 people first. Except that they want to be paid. For slavery you are less, this was the reason why Romans had no special need to take care of such machines. But also as a paid job, then 250 people have to enter the pedals so that a machine has power…. Or 50 horses in circles, what to do…
The work of the craftsman for industrialisation. But the actual breakthrough was in mining – water from cleats pumping. No space, but much power and energy needed.
Hydropower takes place only in the sea or in the river while wind is in the sky. Steam is the combination of both together with heat and consequently also three times as strong.
Muscle power has nothing to do with steam and should never be called in the same set.
Steam machines are scalable: if you need the double amount of energy, you simply set a second steam machine next to it. With water, wind and muscle power, this is only very limited and usually with smears.
