James Watt Steam Engine
James Watt invented the steam engine in 1775. The Steam Engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. An advantage was that the steam engine could work through the agency of heat. A disadvantage was that it was huge and heavy. Its still used today in trains -
John Kay Flying Shuttle
John Kay invented the Flying Shuttle in 1733. The flying shuttle was one of the key developments in the industrialization of weaving during the early Industrial Revolution. One advantage was that It allowed a single weaver to weave much wider fabrics, and it could be mechanized, allowing for automatic machine looms. One disadvantage was that it did not require as many workers so less jobs were available.The Flying shuttle led to mechanical machines in which we use today. -
James Hargreaves Spinning Jenny
James Hargreaves invented the Spinning Jenny in 1764.The spinning jenny is a multi-spindle spinning frame. It was used for spinning wool or cotton. One of the advantages was high delivery speeds and you didn't have to rewind as much.One of the disadvantages were that there was low yarn strength and there was difficulty of keeping spinning conditions constant. Similar wheels are used today -
Richard Arkwright Spinning Frame
Richard Arkwright invented the Spinning Frame in 1769. The spinning frame was also known as the water frame. It was the first textile machine designed to be powered by water.One advantage was that it had high speeds. One disadvantage was that it produced weaker thread suitable only for weft (filling yarn). It is no longer used. -
Samuel Compton Spinning Mule
Samuel Compton invented the spinning mule in 1779. The spinning Mule permitted large-scale manufacture of high-quality thread for the textile industry. One of the advantages was that the machine made it possible for a single operator to work more than 1,000 spindles.One disadvantage was that the thread it produces was coarse and not very strong. It helped led to how we make clothes today. -
Richard Trevithick Steam Locomotive
created the steam locomotive in 1802. It used coal or wood for a train to function. An advantage of this was that you can get places faster. A disadvantage was that the steam engine had a long way to go before it became useful. It is now like trains today. -
Robert Fulton Steam Boat
Robert Fulton invented the steam boat in 1803. It was a type of rail way locomotive that was powered by the steam engine. it allowed travelers to go upstream and downstream. it allowed travelers to go upstream and downstream. And a bad thing was that it caused pollution -
George Stephenson Steam Locomotive
George Stephenson helped improve the first steam locomotive -
Henry Bessemer Steel
he created steel and it was used for many things.The good thing about steel was that it was inexpensive and a bad thing was that Steel cannot be mold in any direction you want,It can only be used in forms in which sections originally exists. It is still used today -
Louis Pasteur
Louis Pasteur invented Pasteurization. Louis Pasteur invented this in 1864. Pasteurization was where bacteria is destroyed by heating beverages and then allowing them to cool.One advantage was that it kills harmful bacteria and pathogens. One disadvantage was that it killed the some of the good nutrients and it changed the flavor. It is still used today -
Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb in 1879.It affects our lives everyday. One bad thing would be that it doesn't last forever and a good thing would be that we could now see. It is still used today -
Nikola Telsa
Nikola Telsa invented the remote control in 1898. The remote control was used to control something else using buttons remotes make some thing easier to control. A disadvantage was that if an object is blocking the remote it won’t work. the advantage was that you wouldn’t have to really get up you can use it up to a certain distance. It is still used today
