John Kay invented the Flying Shuttle
It was one of the key developments in the industrialization of weaving. It was a loom that weaves the width of a person's out stretched arms. Advantage - it aloud a single weaver to weave wider fabrics and make clothing a lot faster. Advantage - it aloud a single weaver to weave wider fabrics and make clothing a lot faster and replaced weavers risking unemployment. -
James Hargreaves invented the spinning jenny
Multi spindle spinning. The machine used eight spindles onto which the thread was spun from a corresponding set of ravings.Advantages - eight spindles increased to 80 spinning spindles.Disadvantages - more efficient than the spinning wheels
low yarn strength;high tendency to snarl. -
Richard Arkwright invented the water frame
It was used when cloth was only made by hand. The machine made thousands of cotton threads all at once.Advantages - Made a strong, tough yarn and it was quicker than weaving
Disadvantages - Made coarse yarn not as fine of a yarn as the Spinning Jenny's -
James Watt invented the Watt steam engine
The Watt steam engine was the first type of steam engine to make use of a separate condenser.
Advantages - It was a vacuum or "atmospheric" engine using steam at a pressure just above atmospheric
Disadvantages - because of its big boiler and furnace a steam engine is huge, heavy and clumsy
The steam engine helped us create trains. -
Samual Crompton invented the spinning mule
50,000,000 mule spindles. The spinning mule spins textile fibers into yarn by an intermittent process.Advantages - high delivery speeds;low yarn production costs. Disadvantages - low yarn strength;high tendency to snarl; -
Richard Fulton invented the steam boat
A boat that is propelled primarily by steam power, typically driving propellers or paddle wheels.
Advantages - boats were able to go through rivers against the current and get
Disadvantages - they cost a lot of money to maintain
Steamboats have turned into different types of boats over time. -
George stephenson And Richard Trevithik invented the steam locomotive
A cylinder and piston, rather like a bicycle pump but much bigger. Steam from the boiler is piped into the cylinder, causing the piston to move first one way then the other. Advantages - A steam engine could be located anywhere. Used at anytime. Disadvantages - A steam engine does not start at once. A steam engine is unsafe to use.
The steam locomotive has turned into different trains. -
Henry Bessemmer invented manufacturing steel
Manufacturing steel helps us build different types of buildings.
advantages - help building be steady
disadvantages - it was difficult to make
It has turned into different types of steel -
Louis Pasteur invened pasteurization
process that kills microbes in foods and drinks.
Advantages - kills microbes and makes food and drinks safer
Disadvantages - The heating process destroys the nutrients and also changes the flavor. -
Thomas Edison invented the Phonograph
The Phonograph is a mechanical recording and reproduction of sound.
Advantages - records sound
Disadvantages - Dirt in the groove on the disk will cause unwanted noise and the disks are very delicate.
The phonograph has turned into the record player. -
Nikola Tesla invented the alternating current.
A war was leveled ever-after between the vision of Edison and the vision of Tesla for how electricity would be produced and distributed.
Advantages - AC voltages can be readily transformed to higher or lower voltage levels
Disadvantages - any electrical equipment which needs direct current cannot run on it.
Alternating current helps us explain how electricity works today.
