  • 1400 BCE

    Fire

    Fire
    The Homo erectus discovered it more than 1.4 million years ago. Fire is a set of incandescent particles or molecules of combustible matter, capable of emitting heat and light.
  • 400 BCE

    Magnet

    Magnet
    It was invented by Thales de Milato to attract iron objects. The magnet is a body or device with significant magnetism, such that it attracts magnets or ferromagnetic metals.
  • 1200

    Gunpowder

    Gunpowder
    It was invented by the Chinese around 1200. Gunpowder is a deflagrant mixture used mainly to propel projectiles in firearms, and for acoustic and visual purposes in pyrotechnic displays.

  • Electricity

    Electricity
    Benjamin Franklin began his experiments on electricity. Electricity is the set of physical phenomena related to the presence and flow of electrical charges.

  • Stack

    Stack
    Alessandro Volta invented it to obtain electrical energy. Is a device consisting of two or more electrochemical cells with external connectors, cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical current .

  • Gasoline

    Gasoline
    It was invented by Edwin Drake to be used as fuel. It is a product obtained from petroleum by distillation.

  • Lightbulb

    Lightbulb
    It was invented by Thomas Edison, after purchasing the patent from Woodward and Evans. The light bulb is a source that produces artificial light.

  • Solar panels

    Solar panels
    Charles Fritts invented it in 1883, they invented it to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. It is a rectangular structure with a basic transformation unit that is the solar cell and measures approx. 10 cm square. A panel joins several of these cells on a plate, which are covered with a plastic called EVA.

  • Urban wind turbines

    Urban wind turbines
    Charles Francis Brush invented it, he invented it to exchange momentum with the wind. A wind turbine or wind turbine is a turbine powered by wind energy. It is a turbomachine that exchanges momentum with the wind, turning a rotor.

  • Smart thermostat

    Smart thermostat
    Tonny Fadell and Matt Rogers invented it, they invented it to control temperature
    Smart thermostats are Wi-fi thermostats that can be used with home automation and are responsible for controlling the temperature of a home.

  • Nuclear fision

    Nuclear fision
    it was invented by Lisa Meitner.Fission is the division of a nucleus into lighter nuclei, plus some byproducts such as free neutrons, photons and other fragments of the nucleus such as alpha and beta particles, as well as a large amount of energy.

  • Microwave

    Microwave
    It was invented by Percy Spencer when he was researching how to improve the performance of radar. The microwave oven is an appliance used in the kitchen to cook or heat food that works by generating electromagnetic waves at the frequency of radiation.

  • Tidal current generators

    Tidal current generators
    They were created by Julio De La Cruz Blázquez. Tidal current generators, also called TSGs, use the kinetic energy of constantly moving water. In this case, the turbine propellers rotate, transferring the tidal energy to a generator that transforms it into electricity.
