Invention of the Spinning Jenny
The spinning jenny was made by James Hargreaves. It allowed for 8 threads of cotton to be spun at once by just spinning a wheel, instead of just one by hand. This number later increased to 80 as technology advanced. -
Invention of the Water Frame
This machine was invented by Richard Arkwright. It was a cotton spinning machine that could spin nearly 100 strands of cotton with very little manual labour. It used a water wheel (powered by moving water) to spin it. -
Invention of the Spinning Mule
the spinning mule was made by Samuel Compton This Innovation was made by the example of the spinning jenny and the water frame. It used these ideas and made them better. This innovation changed the industry from making only a hundred or so strands to thousands. -
Invention of the Steam Engine
The steam engine was invented by James Watt. It used steam from burned coal to produce usable energy. -
Invention of the steam boat
Robert Fulton helped invent the Steam Boat. It used James Watt's steam engine to move propellers in the water to move a boat forward. This made it to where boats wouldn't require manual labour or wind to move forward -
Invention of the Puffing devil
Richard Trevithick created the Puffing Devil. Although it came before the Steam Locomotive, this engine used a very small, but dangerous steam engine. It was basically the first "car" because it could go across terrain without rails. -
Invention of the Steam Locomotive
the steam locomotive was invented by George Stephenson. It used James Watt's steam engine to move a system of cars on tracks from one place to another. -
Innovation of Cost Efficient Steele
Henry Bessemer made steel more cost efficient. Before, steel took a lot of work and costed a lot of money. -
discovery of Pasteurization

Invention of the Electric Light
Thomas Edison is given credit for making the Electric Light a reality. Before, Kerosene lamps and candles were used to light homes at night, if there was any light. After the invention of the light, it made light a lot more accessible. The electric light also gave off more light to the surrounding area than kerosene or candles. -
Innovation of Electricity
Nikola Tesla is credited with making electricity better with the creation of the Alternating Current (AC), whose predecessor was Edison's Direct Current (DC)
