Industrial Revolutions By Lillie and Mattie Del Rio and Morgan

Invented the Flying Shuttle in 1733 - born in England, July of 1704.
His father owned a woolen manufacturer and was put in charge of it at a young age He created a key invention to modern society, his product was duplicated, so he never earned money for it, then eventually died in France living in poverty Advantage - the flying shuttle was a key advantage to the weaving industry, produced wool faster Ex- the flying shuttle led to modern ways of making clothes

spinning jenny in 1764 - an English inventor, one of the three credited for “merchandising spinning” he was illiterate and worked most of his life. Has 13 children. The spinning jenny sped up the process of threading Advantages - yarn did not break often
Disadvantage - the yarn was not very strong Ex - the Spinning Jenny helped industrialize spinning

Scottish inventor, a chemist and a mechanical engineer. Created and adapted his own steam engine, he partnered with Matthew Boulton, who helped him share his invention to the world. The watt steam engine made him a very wealthy man, until he passed in August of 1819 Advantage - no high pressure
Disadvantage - steam engines were often far too big to be portable
Ex - The steam engine played a major role in transportation through railway and water, led to modern transportation

Arkwright was an entrepreneur & an inventor, he based his creation off of a spinning machine. The Arkwright Water Frame spun 128 threads at once, & since it was water powered, the yarn came out harder & was more durable. Advantage- made spinning yarn faster & made the yarn more durable
Disadvantage- had to be located close to water for it to work. Ex- This invention lead to factories that use hydroelectricity which is now apart of many people’s everyday lives

The Invention was a hybrid between the Spinning Jenny & the Arkwright water frame, why it’s called a “Mule”. It spun textile threads the carriages held up to 1,320 spindles and could be 150 feet long.
Adv.- spun a lot faster than normal
Dis adv. - yarn would be weaker and since it worked so fast, there would be more imperfections than regular Impact on Today- modern machines are based off of the Spinning Mule, it helped people find a way to start mass producing yarn in faster ways.

Locomotive- first passenger built vehicle that ran off of steam. The machine used “strong steam” caused to overheat. Adv.- this machine caused him to build the first steam locomotive to ever run along train tracks. Dis adv- The Puffing Devil was highly unsafe & proved that too much high-pressured steam could be fatal, & caused more pollution. Impact on today- the Puffing Devil was short-lived, invented the world’s first steam railway, also today’s trains & other steam-powered inventions.

Robert Fulton is a largely known american inventor who is famous for making a “commercially successful steamboat” and went on to invent many more things for other countries Advantage - was not the first steamboat, but was very successful and led to more models of a safer steamboat Disadvantage - Steamboats did not last long, and later on steam engines became more popular Ex - Robert Fulton’s steamboat adapted into safer steamboats for water that are still used today.

Invented the Steam Locomotive (train)

famous English inventor who is best known for creating a steel making process that revolutionized the steel production industry, making steel quicker, faster productions and cheap. He was able to financially fund his own inventions and made many profit from them Advantage - made steel easier to get to
Disadvantage - small percentages of nitrogen in the steel

The Pasteurizer was made to invent wine & beer from souring. He then developed it to keeping all foods fresh
.
Advantage- Kept many people from being sick & Foods fresh for long amounts of time Disadvantage- Causes many foods to now be manufactured, which to some isn’t as good as fresh food. Impact on today- The process has been developed a lot since 1864, since it is cause for manufacturing, many people work in factories today to manufacture these said foods, giving many people jobs.

Edison was home schooled by his mother and had hearing issues at a young age, which was caused by scarlet fever. Edison invented a series of vital mechanisms, but is most known for creating the long lasting light bulb Advantage - gave light using electricity, no longer had to use candles and gas lamps
Disadvantage - electricity was not cheap Ex- Thomas Edison’s light bulb invention is still used to this day, aside from some adaptations to the light bulb.

Serbian-american who grew up in the Austrian empire and later on immigrated to America where he became a “naturalized citizen” and after working for Edison Machine works during a short period of time, he set up labs with funding help from his lab partners. Advantages - created large amounts of power generation
Disadvantages - was expensive, caused telecommunication problems Examples - Nikola Tesla’s inventions and findings on AC has helped provide energy to households, still used today.
