2 GH THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES , INVENTIONS TO IMPROVE LIFE AT THE 18TH CENTURY
-
The seed drill
-Inventor: Jethro Tull
-He was a British agronomist.
-Is a machine for planting plats or cereals.
-Is a machine that has got seeds of something into it and when the wheel moves they start falling seeds to the land and then a plant grows.
-Is for putting seeds in the grown in a more easily way.
-The consequences that it had this machin were to plant the seeds of cereal or anything in a more comfortable way and to spend less time doing it. -
The piano
-Inventor: Bartolomeo Cristofori.
-Was an Italian musician who dedicated himself to the construction of musical instruments.
-The piano is a musical instrument.
-The piano produces its sound by bringing the movements os the fingers to hammers that will strike strings.
-The piano is widely used in music to accompany the voice in choirs, lieder and melodies.
-The consequences that this had was a new way for distracting people. -
The submarine
-Inventor: David Bushnell.
-It was an American inventor who invented the submarine and the torpedos.
-A submarine is a vessel or a ship capable of navigating on the surface of the water or under the water.
-It goes up and down to the bottom of the sea thanks to its buoyancy tanks, to be able to submerge, the tanks are filled with water.
-They are used to examine the bottom of the sea and for wars.
-The consequences that this had were that in wars no one saw them. -
The chemical bleaching
-Inventor: Claude Berthollet
-He was a chemister.
-They are different substances that are used as desinfectant.
-They work by changing the double bonds of a chromophore into single bonds. This alters the optical properties of the molecule, making it colorless.
-Is used for desinfecting anything we want.
-The consequences that this had was that the hygiene improved a lot and they stoped taking so many diseases. -
The torsion balance
-Inventor:Charles Augustus Coulomb
-He was a phycis and a french enginner.
-It is a balance that is used to measure the electric and the magnetic attraction.
-Used to measure the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface.
-It consists essentially of two small masses at different elevations that are supported at opposite ends of a beam.
-The consequences that this had is that they started knowing more things and scientifically they discovered new things. -
The steamboat
-Inventor: John Fitch.
-He was a watchmaker, brassmaker, and blacksmith who built the first steamboat.
-It's a ship powered by steam machines.
-They have a hollow metal tube in the shape of a serpentine and a sail, with it the water that is inside the metal tube heated and turns into steam and with that the ship moves.
-It's used to transport passengers or merchandise.
-The consequences were that people started travelling so much faster and merchandise also. -
The guillotine
-Inventor: Dr. Joseph Ignace Guillotin
-He was a French doctor and deputy.
-It's a instrument for inflicting capital punishment by decapitation.
-It consist in a woodem frame an angled blade that runs along grooves. After the executioner raises the weighed blade with a rope, the condemned is placed on a platform with his or her head in a round wooden frame called a lunette.
-It was for inflicting capital punishment by decapitacion.
-The consequences were that a lot of people died. -
The ball bearings.
-Inventor: Welshmen Philip Vaughan
-He was a Welsh inventor.
-Ball bearings are small metal balls placed between the moving parts of a machine to make the parts move smoothly.
-Bearings reduce friction by providing smooth metal balls or rollers, and a smooth inner and metal surface for the balls to roll against.
-Is for serving 3 main functions while it facilitates motion: it carries loads, reduces friction and positions moving machine parts.
-Consequences were that machines worked better. -
The preserving jar of food
-Inventor: Francois Appert
-He was a confectioner master and a frech cooker.
- It's a method of preserving that involves applying heat to food in a closed-glass canning jar and removing air from the jar to create a seal.
-You should introcuded the foos into the jar and then you must closet and that will be how it works.
-Is for stoping the spoilage, thus making it shelf-stable.
-The consecuences were that food was preserved better and for a long time. -
The lithography
-Inventor: Aloys Senefelder
-He was a german inventor.
-The process of printing from a flat surface treated so as to repel the ink except where it is required for printing.
-A printing process based on the fact that grease and water don’t mix. The image is applied to a grained surface using a greasy medium: such as a special greasy.
-It's for showing us more about the whole of art.
-The consecuences that this had were that a new type of art was created for showing to the society.
