Steamship- Jonathan HUll
a tug boat for port use that used Savory's Engine to power a water wheel. this was a fundamental steamship that tugged a larger manual (sail & ore) ship. -
Submarine David Bushnell
The first military submarine was the Turtle a hand-powered acorn-shaped device designed by the American to accommodate a single person. It was the first verified submarine capable of independent underwater operation and movement, and the first to use screws for propulsion. It was important because it was a basis for other submarines and eventually the nuclear submarines that gave immense power to America. -
Joseph and Jacques Montgolfier - Hot Air Balloon
The brothers, were inventors of the first hot air balloon. They used the smoke from a fire to blow hot air into a silk bag. The silk bag was attached to a basket. The hot air then rose and allowed the balloon to be lighter-than-air. the first flight was with a chicken but the brothers made it possible for humans to drift in the air. -
early train wagon- William Jessup
1789, Englishman, William Jessup designed the first wagons with flanged wheels. The flange was a groove that allowed the wheels to better grip the rail, this was an important design that carried over to later locomotives. -
Richard Trevithick- tramline locomotive
a steam-powered vehicle to replace the horse-drawn carts on the tramways. Richard Trevithick built that vehicle, the first steam engine tramway locomotive. On February 22, 1804, the locomotive hauled a load of 10 tons of iron, 70 men and five extra wagons the 9 miles between the ironworks at Pen-y-Darron in the town of Merthyr Tydfil, Wales to the bottom of the valley called Abercynnon. It took about two hours. But it was better for roads than railways. -
steamboat - Robert Fulton's
In 1807, he launched the Clermont, a paddle-wheel boat that soon proved capable of transporting passengers and cargo miles up and down stream. This invention was good for transporting passengers and supplies.and influenced more boat designs in europe. -
The Walking Machine- Baron von Davis
invented a walking machine that would help him get around the royal gardens faster: two same-size in-line wheels, the front one steerable, mounted in a frame which you straddled. It was short lived as you had to glide walk on a well-kept pathway or flat surface. However, it helped the evolution of the bicycle. -
Marc Brunel - tunnelling shield
Thus making subaqueous tunneling possible. This means that there were other options than bridges for longer distances. This was good for the progression of inter-sea traveling. -
Francis Pettit Smith- the propeller
this invention can enhance other inventions and be used in boats and planes designs. it is good for making boats alot more efficient -
Human Glider- George Cayley
Sir George Cayley is considered the father of aerodynamics. Cayley experimented with wing design, distinguished between lift and drag, formulated the concepts of vertical tail surfaces, steering rudders, rear elevators, and air screws. The significance of the glider was that it was the first time man could fly and control where he went.
