steam engine
Thomas Newcomen, the steam engine was mostly used to pump water from mines. Steam engines largely relied on coal as a source of fuel and could generate far more power than humans or animals. As steam engines became more and more efficient, they were made to power trains and ships. because of this, it became more advanced now we got cars, planes and other engine related things. -
flying shuttle
The Flying Shuttle was invented by John Kay in 1733. He was seeking for a new kind of shuttle that would speed up the relatively slow pace of hand weaving. The role of the shuttle is to insert the weft between the warp threads on the loom. -
spinning jenny
James Hargreaves invented the spinning jenny in 1767, allowed more threads and yarns to be produced by fewer spinners. -
spinning frame

water frame
water frame, In textile manufacture, a spinning machine powered by water that produced a cotton yarn suitable for warp (lengthwise threads). Patented in 1769 by Richard Arkwright, it represented an improvement on James Hargreaves's spinning jenny, which produced weaker thread suitable only for weft (filling yarn) -
the spinning mule
The spinning mule was invented by Samuel Crompton in 1779. It revolutionised textile production by vastly increasing the amount of cotton that could be spun at any one time. -
