James Watt and the steam engine
James Wattt invented the steam engine in 1712 , the steam engine was a new way to travel across land , The steam engine had low efficiency because of the limitations of the external combustion engine , today the steam engine is now updated to the train. -
Jhon Kay and the flying shuttle
Jhon Kay invented the flying shuttle in 1733 , it was able to let a single weaver weave a wider fabrics , it was great because it could be mechanized for automatic machine looms , flying shuttles would fly out of the machines causing multiple injuries , they have created better looms for weaving today and are less dangerous -
James Hargreaves and the spinning jenny
James Hargreaves invented the spinning jenny in 1764 , it was a multi spindle frame for weaving , it was one of the best weaving machines created during that time , it had eight threads and you had to use it by hand leading to its downfall when better weaving machines were invented , today we have better looms so its more efficient -
Richard Arkwright and the water frame
Richard Arkwright invented the water frame in 1769 , a water frame was a good way to create cotton without manually having to do it , you didn't have to manually do it because it was powered by water , it didn't create the best yarn , today we have water wheels that power multiple mechanics. -
Samuel Crompton and the spinning mule
Samuel Crompton invented the spinning mule in 1779 , the spinning mule was used to spin cotton and other fibers , it was an easy way to create material without having to do it manually , it was difficult to keep it spinning sometimes , today our spinning frames use air to spin really fast unlike back than. -
George Stephenson and the steam locomotive
George Stephenson invented the steam locomotive in 1781 , the steam locomotive was just like a steam engine it transported people and things , it is way more advanced then the steam engine , it had the same problem with external combustion engine , today its trains and other mobiles that travel on rails -
Richard Trevithick and the steam locomotive
Richard Trevithick invented the steam engine in 1803 , it was the same as a steam engine it carried around people and things , it was more advanced then a steam engine , it had the same problem with the external combustion engine as the steam engine , today the steam locomotive is the train or any other mobile that travels on rails -
Robert Fulton and the The steamboat
Robert Fulton invented the steamboat in 1807 , The steamboat was like a steam engine but instead it was in water , it was one of the first effective ways to travel across water , it had a drag in the water so it was slow , today we have better boats that can actually go faster -
Louis Pastear and pasteurization
Louis Pasteur created the Pasteurization process in 1822 , pasteurization is the process of heating food so you kill any bacteria that my on or in it , pasteurization prevents people from getting sick because of any germs in the food , pasteurization doesn't necessarily work on everything and you can ruin some foods because of the heat , today the pasteurization process is still used today but more safe -
Henry Bessemer and steel production
Henry Bessemer created a new way of producing steel in 1856 , in his method you would have to melt it and then use a method called oxidization , the oxidization process would remove all in impurities in the iron , this process didn't remove sulphur or phosphorus which are harmful , today are steel making process is way more advanced and efficient then back then -
Thomas Edison and the phonograph
Thomas Edison created the phonograph in 1877 , the phonograph is a machine that records sound like music and voices , it was the very first phonograph created and could record all types of sounds , the discs used were very delicate and if dirty made a unpleasant noise , today we use radios and jukeboxes to record sound and listen to them -
Nikola Tesla and the Tesla coil
Nikola Tesla invented the tesla coil in 1891 , the tesla coil produced high voltage bolts in between power sources , it was a great invention to get all different kinds of power , its inefficient you cant get to far away or the power wont work so it doesn't work far distant , today to get power we have batteries and chargers
