SUMMARY:'Inspired By British Inventions: Joseph von Baader's Innovations' by Michael Eckert
DESCRIPTION:ON LINE event only – please visit this Zoom link: 82824786912 shortly before the meeting \nJoseph von Baader’s (1763-1835) Technological Innovations in Bavaria From Hydraulic Machinery to Gas Light \nThe speaker will be joining us on-line from Munich. \nBavaria offered little incentives for the new industrial age around 1800. Yet – due to the activities of the entrepreneurial scientist Joseph von Baader – the Industrial Revolution became manifest in Bavaria at least marginally in the form of hydraulic machinery\, steam engines\, gas light and other novel technologies. Baader’s innovations were inspired by extended sojourns in Great Britain where he had visited James Watt‘s steam engines\, John Wilkinson‘s iron works and other industrial sites. \nUnlike the breeding grounds of the Industrial Revolution in England and Scotland\, however\, the Bavarian sites and circumstances for the realization of new technological inventions were unusual. Baader used the transformation of the Nymphenburg castle park in Munich from the Baroque into the then fashionable English landscape garden as an opportunity to install new pumps for powerful fountain jets. The castle park also served him as a proving ground for the demonstration of other new technologies (transportation systems\, steam engines and gas light). \nThis presentation will illustrate Baader’s activities by authentic documents\, drawings\, photographs and videos. The fountains at Nymphenburg are still driven by Baader’s hydraulic machinery which can be observed in operation at the original site. \nAbout the Speaker\nMichael Eckert currently works at the Forschungsinstitut Deutsches Museum where he undertakes research into Quantum Physics\, Theoretical Physics and Fluid Dynamics. His current project is on the history of turbulence.
