Industrial Revolution timeline

  • Flying Shuttle

    The flying shuttle was one of the key developments in the industrialization of weaving during the early Industrial Revolution. It allowed a single weaver to weave much wider fabrics, and it could be mechanized, allowing for automatic machine looms.
  • Spinning Jenny

    The spinning jenny is a multi-spindle spinning frame. It reduce the amount of work needed to make cloth, with a worker who can eight or more spools at once.
  • Spinning Frame

    A spinning frame was used to spin thread or yarn from fibres such as as cotton or wool. It was able to spin thread and yarn faster than before. It provided more yarn for factories ,because yarn supplies were become less common.
  • Spinning Mule

    The spinning mule is a machine used for spinning cotton and other fabrics. They were used extensively from the late 18th century to the early 20th century.
  • Steam Engine

    James Watt's steam engine was the first one to take advantage of separate condenser. It was a vacuum or "atmospheric" engine using steam at a pressure just above atmospheric to create a partial vacuum beneath the piston. The difference between the pressure above and below the pistol drove the the pistol down the cylinder.
  • Steam Locomotive by Richard Trevithicks

    The steam locomotive used a high-pressure engine. In 1804 it took place in the worlds first locomotive-hailed railway as it hauled a train.
  • Steam Boat

    The steam boat is power mostly by steam power. In 1807 it made the 300 mile trip from New York to Albany and back in 62 hours. This invention made it easier to make trips by water.
  • Pasteurization

    Pasteurization is heat processing a liquid or a food to kill pathogenic bacteria to make the food safe to eat. The use of pasteurization to kill pathogenic bacteria has helped reduce the transmission of diseases, such as typhoid fever, tuberculosis, scarlet fever, polio, and dysentery.
  • Steam Locomotive By George Stephenson

    Stephenson's steam locomotive was an improvement on Richard Trevithicks. His steam locomotive could travel at 39 miles per hour, which is faster than Trevithicks.
  • Steel Making

    Henry Bessemer is known for his invitations in steel making. Steel was stronger than iron. This made steel a better material for building tall buildings.
  • Electric Light bulb

    The electric light bulb was invented by Thomas Edison. It made lighting easier. It also meant that people didn't need oil lamps anymore.
  • Telsa Coil

    The Tesla Coil was invented by Nikola Tesla. It is used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating-current electricity.
