Starting in the 19 th century a huge number of mining engines were patented: the Englishman Richard Trevithick invented a rotating steam-driven drill; this was then followed by a piston drill that worked along the same principle as a steam engine.
Mining has been a vital part of the world's economy since the 1600s. In this era before machines were invented to take a lot of the risk out of the process – mines were dug …
From the iconic minecart of the American Gold Rush to the unfathomably big Bagger 288, and the classic 797 to today's cutting edge unmanned and electric vehicles, Molly Lempriere traces the evolution of mining machines through time
The history of mining is rich and complicated. Mining has led to great advancements for society, but the dangers of mining have also resulted in the deaths of many workers. As technology continues to advance, however, mining techniques become even more accurate and efficient.
History. Archaeological discoveries indicate that mining was conducted in prehistoric times. Apparently, the first mineral used was flint, which, because of its conchoidal fracturing pattern, could be broken into sharp-edged pieces that …
The history of mining technology started with using simple tools for extraction. These included digging by hand or using stone tools. While these were the only methods of mining at the time, the process was slow and highly inefficient as it …
While a book could be written on the history of drilling and the various types of drills that were invented, this brief analysis tells the story of drilling from the first borehole that was placed into rock for blasting to the start of today's modern drilling systems.
From the iconic minecart of the American Gold Rush to the unfathomably big Bagger 288, and the classic 797 to today's cutting edge unmanned and electric vehicles, we trace the evolution of mining machines through time.
Mining began to truly evolve with Roman innovations, including aqueducts, according to Ancient History. This architectural invention was used to power mill machines, together creating a prototype for the on-site materials …
The history of mining technology started with using simple tools for extraction. These included digging by hand or using stone tools. While these were the only methods of mining at the time, the process was slow and highly inefficient as it took so long.
The history of mining is rich and complicated. Mining has led to great advancements for society, but the dangers of mining have also resulted in the deaths of many workers. As technology continues to advance, however, …
My new book entitled Gold, Steel & Ice: A History of Mining Machines in Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (2015) helps to document the ways in which machines made "gravel mining" possible during the heyday …
My new book entitled Gold, Steel & Ice: A History of Mining Machines in Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve (2015) helps to document the ways in which machines made "gravel mining" possible during the heyday of gold production in the Far North.

Mining has been a vital part of the world's economy since the 1600s. In this era before machines were invented to take a lot of the risk out of the process – mines were dug and excavated by hand (with a little help from dynamite).
