Excerpt from L'Électricité Comme Force Motrice
La force motrice est la base de la plupart des grandes industries, et dès les premiers âges du monde on s'est occupé d'en rechercher des sources économiques et fé condes. Longtemps cette force a été demandée à l'énergie musculaire de l'homme et des animaux, mais on acom pris qu'on pouvait mieux utiliser cette dernière, et on a recherché si les éléments de la nature ne pouvaient la fournir dans de bien meilleures conditions d'économie et de puissance. Les effets de la pesanteur, les mouvements des cours d'eau, les agitations de l'air furent d'abord mis à contribution, et on combina des machines capables de transformer ces actions naturelles en un mouvement circulaire susceptible d'être transformé à son tour de mille manières différentes pour s'appliquer aux divers besoins de l'industrie. Mais on n'a pas toujours à sa dis position nu cours d'eau, l'action du vent est trop capri.
