About this listen

It is easy to see the Franklin stove as just an invention to improve the lives of colonial Americans. The stove, like many of Franklin's inventions, went through a series of improvements as he explored the science of heat convection and thermal dynamics. Other changes and considerations came about as Franklin changed the fuel from wood to coal. This is just one aspect of the impact of Franklin's stove on the 18th-century world. Join Professor Robert Allison and Professor Joyce Chaplin as they explore the world which brought about Franklin's invention and how that invention changed the lives of his countrymen.
