The Industrial Revolution was a series of economic and social changes, was a profound transformation of work style and way of thinking that resulted in changes in the structure of society, led to major consequences. Began in England in the eighteenth century, and then spread to other countries such as France, Germany, USA, Belgium, and more delay, Russia and Spain.

The technological revolution was an impressive increase in productivity. It also caused a significant depletion in the standard of living of the working class. Moreover, wages were steadily decreasing while increasing prices indiscriminately staples, so that the purchasing power of family labor was significantly reduced.

The Industrial Revolution is a product of the exploitation of resources from the exploitation of the colonies that dominated European countries, in turn; this accumulation was a consequence of trade that had generated extraordinary development and the capitalist commodity, which soon became industrial capitalism that is no longer based only on trade but also in industrial production.

The force of air compressed, blown, picked up by the mills seems to Jules Verne, the solution chosen by the companies of the twentieth century to be "the driving force at home."

The railway; Jules Verne traces the history of the railway: built in 1913 at the expense of the state and based on a system introduced in the previous century by the engineer Joanne "This system consisted of two separate path one to go back the other (which seems obvious now) was adopted, "says Jules Verne" after much study and discussion”. Through the application of new propellants, convoys (through many overpasses) were very light (the explanation too) And they took place every ten minutes telling minutes each carrying thousand passengers in their cars and fast comfortably arranged. Riverside houses did not suffer either steam or smoke, for the simple reason that there was no locomotive."

Jules Verne describes in detail the operation. compressed air Ch II: "The trains were walking with the aid of compressed air, according to the system advocated by William Jobard, famous Belgian engineer of 19th vector A tube of 20 cm in diameter entire length of the track it closes a disc of soft iron under the action of air compressed disk is driven at high speed driving the first car ...
