Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull invented the Seed Drill. its purpose was to sow seeds efficiently. Tull did this by creating a machine that could plant seeds in three different rows in a single push, holes for the seeds would be dug and then the seeds would be dropped in with proper spacing, then the holes would be covered up. -
Thomas Newcomen
Thomas Newcomen created the Newcomen atmospheric engine. Newcomen became aware of the high cost of using the power of horses to pump water out of the Cornish tin mines. In Newcomen’s engine the intensity of pressure was not limited by the pressure of the steam, atmospheric pressure pushed the piston down after the condensation of steam had created a vacuum in the cylinder. -
John Kay
The Flying shuttle allowed a single weaver to weave much wider fabrics, and it could be mechanized, allowing for automatic machine looms. -
James Hargreaves
The spinning jenny is a multi-spindle spinning frame, -
Richard Arkwright
A water frame is a water-powered spinning frame designed for the production of cotton thread. It was able to spin 128 threads at a time, which was an easier and faster method than ever before. The spinning frame was for spinning thread or yarn from fibers such as wool or cotton in a mechanized way. -
James Watt
Watt's linkage is a type of mechanical linkage in which the central moving point of the linkage is constrained to travel on an approximation to a straight line.
watts steam engine was a vacuum or "atmospheric" engine using steam at a pressure just above atmospheric to create a partial vacuum beneath the piston. -
Samuel Crompton
The spinning mule is a machine used to spin cotton and other fibers -
Edmund Cartwright
A power loom is a mechanized loom
the wool combing machine was used to arrange and lay parallel by length the fibers of wool, prior to further treatment. -
Eli Whitney
Interchangeable parts are parts that are identical. They are made so that they are nearly identical that they will fit into any assembly of the same type. each part can replace another, without any a problem
A cotton gin is a machine that quickly and easily separates cotton fibers from their seeds, enabling much greater productivity than manual cotton separation.
Milling machine uses rotary cutters to remove material from a workpiece by placing the cutter into it at a certain direction. -
Alessandro Volta
An electric battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections provided to power electrical devices. -
Robert Fulton
Robert Fulton is best know for developing the first successful steamboat and the world's first steam warship. He made the North River Steamboat, also known as the Clermont. Began using it to carry passengers between New York City and up the Hudson River to the state capital Albany. -
George Stephenson
A steam locomotive is a type of railway locomotive that produces its pulling power through a steam engine.
Stephenson's Rocket was an early steam locomotive of 0-2-2 wheel arrangement
The Geordie lamp was a safety lamp for use in inflammable atmospheres, invented by George Stephenson in 1815 as a miner's lamp to prevent explosions due to firedamp in coal mines.
