2 GH THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES , INVENTIONS TO IMPROVE LIFE AT THE 18TH CENTURY

  • The seed drill

    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

    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 consequences that this had was a new way for distracting people.
  • The submarine

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    -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.

    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

    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

    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.
