Discovery of Helium extraction
In 1915 Sir John Cunnungham Mclennan had a theory about Helium gas extraction. He said it could be extracted from air. The England Army began to be interested in this theory and provided Mclennan the resources needed to confirm this theory. After he successfully confirmed this theory, he began to help build plants during the war for the Army. But the Army didn't use it. -
The Creation of the Sonar
In 1915, The first Sonar was created. The sonar is a method of locating objects through the reflection of Sound waves. This is mainly found in Ships and Submarines. It was created by Constantin Chilowsky and Paul Langevin in France during WWI, with the collaboration of the Canadian R.W. BOYLE. It was made in the early days for detecting dangerous items underwater such as icebergs, and for measuring water depths. -
Lewis Light Machine Gun
AT the beginning of World War 1, Canadians entered battle using 4 Colt Machine Guns. Which was a great gun, but it wasn't meant to be carried around anywhere and it also got jammed often. After that they decided to use the Vicker Machine gun which was more reliable but had the same issues. This gun was easier to carry and rarely got jammed.Soon the Canadians were provided with this gun which helped them a lot throughout the war. -
The Ontario Hydro Queenston-Chippawa power generator
The Ontario Hydro Queenston-Chippawa power generator was a 4 year long project which was first predicted to be very useful and provide a lot of electricity to a lot of cities which was very useful to blacksmiths, miners. factories and other cities. -
The discovery of insulin
For many many years, doctors and scientists had struggled to find cures for diabetes but were stuck. Gladly in 1921, The University of Toronto began to approach the problem with multiple angles. By 1922, with the help of Dr. Fredrick Banting discover the use of insulin. -
The Variable Pitch Propeller
In 1922, Canadian architect Wallace Turnbull made the primary variable propeller. It was one of his best developments and was acceptable to such an extent that the administration gave some enthusiasm for it and began testing it at camp Broden. Tragically it was wrecked in a fire at camp Broden yet was later changed to the Propeller in 1925. after 2 years the canadian flying corps effectively tried it and offered it to 15 assembling organizations -
The Snowmobile
In 1922 Joseph Bombardier who had been known for playing with mechanics, began messing with a portage motor and some wood and built the main snowmobile. At the time he was 15 and his father made him dismantle it on the grounds that there was an open propeller and it might have genuinely harmed Joseph. -
Battery-Less Radio
Edward was the main individual to develop a battery-less radio. His objective was to develop a radio that ran off of the family power current. Due to the little power it required it was a hit and was sold all over canada. -
Snowblower
Arthur Sicard a canadian creator was attempting to make a machine that helped ranchers get snow off their fields in a simple and brisk manner. He began his work in 1894. It took him 31 years to make this machine lastly he uncovered it in Montreal. The first snowblower was a totally different machine, it was practically a truck with a scooper and a snow tossing chute.

Canada's railroad framework was truly outstanding and they weren't finished with it. The development of the Hudson Bays railroad was done and authoritatively opened in 1929. It was worked to give admittance to another saltwater port. -
Continuity and Change
he development of the Ontario Hydros Queenston-Chippawa Hydroelectric force generator is an extraordinary case of cause and result. Building the generator had great results, for example, giving power and capacity to metropolitan territories and industrial facilities. It had some terrible outcomes too, for example, pulverizing part of the climate in the region. The development of the extension of the railroad was the reason to a ton of good outcomes,. -
