John Kay'S Flying Shuttle
Neatly and compactly store a holder that carries the thread of the weft yarn while weaving with a loom. It decreased the need of labor at homes, increased textiles, clothes are made faster, easier, and cheaper, but people who worked at their homes lost their jobs. To this day we still use this invention along with other more modern tools. -
James Hargreaves's Spinning jenny
An invention with many spindles on a spinning frame that decreased the speed needed to weave string to make yarn.Although cloth workers were losing their jobs as soon as these inventions came to the light. They are still used today in the hobby industry. -
Richard Arkwright's Water Frame
This machine created cotton thread using water power that although it needed to be placed on the sidelines with water, it was the first water powered machine of its time. It is no longer in use, but has led to the factories we use today that use water power to run. -
Samuel Compton's Spinning Mule
The spinning mule higher number of fibers needed in yarn cross-section and lower yarn strength, but had a smooth appearance and no wrapping fibers. The spinning mule was a combination with the spinning jenny's moving carriage and the rollers of the water frame. It spun textile fibers into yarn. Although there were upgrades to the device, it is still used to this day. -
James Watt's steam engine
Although the steam engine was dangerous, it could be used without any restriction to needing to be placed near a water source. The steam engine contains a chamber filled with water that heats up to produce steam. The steam passes from the boiler into a pipe causing a piston to move. Steam engines are still used today in many other mechanics we use every day. -
Richard Trevithick's Steam Locomotive
Although we do not use these exact models of locomotives, we use similar models to travel on land and transport supplies like they did in the 18th century with fast speeds. Coal was mined to be burnt to create steam. This powered the large locomotives, but in the mines people were mistreated, children were in dangerous conditions, and the coal entered their lungs. -
Robert Fulton's Steam Boat
They allowed people to travel anywhere by water at an astonishing 5 miles an hour, but the Steam Boats(as said at https://steamboatsarecool.weebly.com/proscons.html) would build up pressure and explode. The steam boat allowed supplies, goods, and passengers to travel throughout the sea to trade with other countries or travel around the world. -
George Stephenson: Steam Locomotive
The steam locomotive was unable to drive on roads or wooden tracks due to its weight. On the other hand, it allowed goods, materials, and people to travel long distances at shorter times than by foot or horseback. The locomotive used burnt coal to provide steam necessary to power the machine that could travel anywhere on land. Locomotives like these have been modified and are still in use in today's society. -
Henry Bessemer's inexpensive manufactured steel
Steel created taller and sturdier buildings at cheaper prices. These long beams were used to create buildings, railroads, etc, but miners were forced to mine iron ore. Mining conditions led to short life spans and treacherous injuries on the job for employers knew they would be easily replaced. -
Louis Pasteur's pasteurization
By cooking food at 280 degrees you will kill organisms that will cause sickness. Before pasteurization, millions of people a year were killed from these "germs". On the other hand it will also destroy beneficial bacteria and to this day we still use it to protect us from the harmful bacteria we face every day. -
Thomas Edison's light bulb
The light bulb used electricity to provide light, but by doing so workers were forced to work longer hours of dangerous working conditions. We still use light bulbs today as they allow us to see in the dark and they provided slightly safer working conditions for those who were working in the 18th century. -
Nikola Tesla's Tesla Coil
It is used to produce low-current, high frequency alternating-current electricity, high-voltage, but they need a high-voltage power source and are very dangerous to handle. Tesla coils use circuits to produce electrical lightning. We still use these coils to produce electrical lightning, create sound, etc.
