  • steam engine

    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

    The spinning frame is an Industrial Revolution invention for spinning thread or yarn from fibres such as wool or cotton in a mechanized way. by Richard Arkwright and John Kay
  • 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.
  • powerloom

    A power loom is a mechanized loom, and was one of the key developments in the industrialization of weaving during the early Industrial Revolution. The first power loom was designed and patented in 1785 by Edmund Cartwright.
  • cotton gin

    Eli Whitney was an American inventor, widely known for inventing the cotton gin in 1793, one of the key inventions of the Industrial Revolution that shaped the economy of the Antebellum South.[1]
  • sewing machine

    Elias Howe invented the first sewing machine used to sew fabric and materials together using thread
  • electrical telegraph

    "Samuel Morse independently developed and patented a recording electric telegraph in 1837. Morse's assistant Alfred Vail developed an instrument that was called the register for recording the received messages."
  • internal combustion engine

    An internal combustion engine is a heat engine in which the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit, George Brayton invented the first commercial liquid-fueled internal combustion engine in 1872.
  • phonograph

    Thomas Edison in New Jersey in 1877. The phonograph was a device that could record and play sounds.
  • lightbulb

    thomas edison created the first light bulb, it only lit up for atleast 9 hours or something until it burnt out
  • automobile

    In 1885, German mechanical engineer Karl Benz designed and built the world's first practical automobile to be powered by an internal-combustion engine.
  • radio

    inventor Guglielmo Marconi (pictured at right) became known across the world as the most successful inventor in applying radio waves to human communication in the 1890s. In 1895 he sent a wireless Morse Code message to a source more than a kilometer away.
