Scientific Innovations

Less would know that new insights into physics & chemistry encouraged technological innovations and helped to drive the Industrial Revolution, which first arrived in Great Britain towards the end of eighteenth century, initiated by the introduction of coke based iron smelting. Earlier for centuries iron had been smelted using charcoal, derived from wood. The appetite for iron in the seventeenth century had been so voracious that Britain was heavily deforested. Charcoal came as a rescue for whatever forests were remaining by then, it gradually replaced coke and was derived from coal rather than wood. 

As they say that need is the mother of invention, now steam engine was invented for the mining of coal as it pumped out flooded water from the coal mines.
