Abstract: This chapter reviews methods of coal extraction, with a focus on advances in technology. The two main methods of coal mining – underground and surface mining – are first described. The following sections cover advances in coal mining machinery and systems, with extensive discussion of the role of robotics and automation.

Experimentation led to some other advances in metallurgical methods during the 18th century. For example, a certain type of furnace that separated the coal and kept it from contaminating the metal, and a process of "puddling" or stirring the molten iron, both made it possible to produce larger amounts of wrought iron.
