Spinning Frame
The Spinning Frame was patented in 1768 by Richard Arkwright and was a mechanical and automatic textile machine that produced stronger threads for yarn. -
Spinning Jenny
The Spinning Jenny was revolutionary to the art of spinning cotton being able to spin 8 threads at once using it's 8 spindles to do the work of 8 people at one time. -
Puddling
Puddling was invented by Henry Cort and was patented in 1784. Puddling is the process for making wrought iron on a large scale which was good for business and in some ways cheaper. -
Power Loom
The Power Loom was patented in 1785 and was a mechanical loom that was powered by steam and reduced the need for human supervision which was more cost and time effective. -
Cotton Gin
The Cotton Gin was patented in 1794 and was created to make it easier and more time effective to separate cotton seeds from cotton which was very painful for African slaves. The cotton gin uses a combination of a wire screen and small wire hooks to pull the cotton through, while brushes continuously removed the loose cotton lint to prevent jams -
Volta Battery
The Volta battery created by Alessandro Volta invented in 1800 consists of discs of two different metals, such as copper and zinc, separated by cardboard soaked in brine and .was a simple and reliable source of current which made it easier for scientist to study electricity better than before and promoted the development of new technology powered by electricity instead of using steam power. -
Stethoscope
Rene Théophile Hyacinthe Laënnec invented the Stethoscope and patented it in 1816. The Stethoscope helped to investigate the sounds made by the heart and lungs to determine diagnostics by doctors and was a huge medical breakthrough. -
Steam Locomotive
The Steam Locomotive was invented by Thomas Savery and was patented in !822. It was more cost and power effective seeing that it used steam instead of coal and was a breakthrough for the transportation industry. -
Internal Combustion Engine
In 1872 George Brayton invented the Internal Combustion Engine which became a huge breakthrough for the transportation industry and is still used in today's cars. The Internal Combustion Engine used combustion and the products of combustion to serve or the working fluids of the engine and was a huge step up from the steam engine. -
Portland Cement
Portland cement which was invented by Joseph Aspdin and eventually patented in 1824 had a revolutionary impact on the construction industry making building more cost effect and time efficient than ever, -
Spinning Mule
The Spinning Mule became a essential part of the textile industry. The Mule spun textile fibers into yarn in a process that was much faster, easier and more profitable. -
Gas Lighting
William Murdoch the inventor of gaslighting discovered that you could use the flammability of gas for a light source which became a huge breakthrough for the lighting industry when it was patented in 1834. -
Electrical Relay
The Electrical Relay was a previous version of the telephone that used a magnetic needle dipped in mercury contact with an electrical current running through the coils to transmit messages back and forth using morse course. -
Sextant
The Sextant was invented by John Campbell and later patented in 1856 and was had a large impact on the navigational field.helping to measure the angle between 2 astronomical instruments for the purpose of celestial navigation. -
Bessemer process
The Bessemer process invented by Sir Henry Bessemer helped to mass-produce steel from molten pig iron by taking away the impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron which was a huge breakthrough for the steel industry.
