Excerpt: Denis Papin (22 August 1647 - c. 1712) was a French-born physicist, mathematician and inventor, best known for his pioneering invention of the steam digester, the forerunner of the steam engine and of the pressure cooker. Born in Chitenay, (Loir-et-Cher, Centre Région), Papin attended a Jesuit school there, and from 1661 attended University at Angers, from which he graduated with a medical degree in 1669. In 1673, while working with Christiaan Huygens and Gottfried Leibniz in Paris, he became interested in using a vacuum to generate motive power. Denis Papin's steam digester (1679) A "Papin" cooking pot, late 18th centuryPapin first visited London in 1675, and worked with Robert Boyle from 1676 to 1679, publishing an account of his work in Continuation of New Experiments (1680). During this period, Papin invented the steam digester, a type of pressure cooker with a safety valve. He first addressed the Royal Society in 1679 on the subject of his digester, and remained mostly in London until about 1687, when he left to take up an academic post in Germany. The first piston steam engine, 1690As a Huguenot, Papin found himself greatly affected by the increasing restrictions placed on Protestants by Louis XIV of France and by the King's ultimate revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. In Germany he was able to live with fellow Huguenot exiles from France. In 1689, Papin suggested that a force pump or bellows could maintain the pressure and fresh air inside a diving bell.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Isaac Newton (4 janvier 1643 G - 31 mars 1727 G, ou 25 décembre 1642 J - 20 mars 1727 J) est un philosophe, mathématicien, physicien, alchimiste et astronome anglais. Figure emblématique des sciences, il est surtout reconnu pour sa théorie de la gravitation universelle et la création, en concurrence avec Leibniz, du calcul infinitésimal. En optique, il a développé une théorie de la couleur basée sur l'observation selon laquelle un prisme décompose la lumière blanche en un spectre visible. Il a aussi inventé le télescope à réflexion composé d'un miroir primaire concave appelé télescope de Newton. En mécanique, il a établi les trois lois universelles du mouvement qui sont en fait des principes à la base de la grande théorie de Newton concernant le mouvement des corps, théorie que l'on nomme aujourd'hui Mécanique newtonienne ou encore Mécanique classique. En mathématiques, Newton partage avec Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz la découverte du calcul infinitésimal. Il est aussi connu pour la généralisation du théorème du binôme et l'invention dite de la méthode de Newton permettant de trouver des approximations d'un zéro (ou racine) d'une fonction d'une variable réelle à valeurs réelles. Newton a montré que le mouvement des objets sur Terre et des corps célestes sont gouvernés par les mêmes lois naturelles ; en se basant sur les lois de Kepler sur le mouvement des planètes, il dé...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...
