Industrial Revolution Inventors duel

First transatlantic cable completed 1858

John Kay (1733)'s flying shuttle Tremendously helped with making weaving easier, used in the putting-out industry at first.

Cartwright's power loom (1787)

Michael Faraday (1831)'s discovery of electromagnetic currents

Alexander Graham Bell's telephone (1876) Made communicating across long distances much easier, but such conversations still had to be done in public, etc.,

Eiffel Tower (1889) For the World Exposition in Paris

First ancestor of the computer

Henry Bessemir's steel converter (1854)

Thomas Edison (1879) Invented the incandescent lamp. Though he was, in general, prone to rude tendencies.

Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine

James Hargreaves (1765)'s spinning jenny Automated thread spinning

First steam-powered mill (1779) Crompton's "mule" + Spinning jenny and water frame fully automated weaving process. Yeah.

Liverpool and Manchester Railway (1830) Began the first regular commercial rail service

Gasoline refinement

William Murdock's cool thing he did (1792) Lit his home using coal gas. Also, he was James Watt's assistant.

Joseph Monier (1849) Reinforced Concrete

Robert Trevithick (1801)'s steam locomotive demonstration

The first successful steamboat. Like the locomotive, made trade so, so much better. For example, now the US could leverage its advantage in having the Mississippi river.

James Brindley (1761)'s Bridgewater Canal Allowed for barges to carry coal from Worsely to Manchester

This is a record player. Useful for music, instructions, etc.,

Cathode rays discovered

From Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883) Large suspension bridge, "triumph of engineering."

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838)

Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent Useful for, like, ship distress calls. Say, for example, the one the Titanic sent out.

Singer's first practical sewing machine (1851)

1883

Jethro Tull (1708)'s mechanical seed drill Helped plant crops

Karl Benz's internal-combustion automobile engine (1885) cars go vroom

Alfred Nobel's dynamite (1867) First high explosive that could be safely handled. Useful for mining and clearing areas for infrastructure.

Jethro Tull (1708)'s mechanical seed drill Helped plant crops

John Kay (1733)'s flying shuttle Tremendously helped with making weaving easier, used in the putting-out industry at first.

Alexander Graham Bell's telephone (1876)

Early form of photography

Gasoline refinement First occurred in 1850. Gasoline is an important fuel source.

Eli Whitney (1793)'s cotton gin This separated the useful raw cotton from its seeds, making the cotton industry much more profitable. It had mixed effects — remember how a lot of cotton was farmed using slave labor.

Singer's first practical sewing machine (1851) Allowed for more sewing, including at-home

Robert Trevithick (1801)'s steam locomotive demonstration George Stephenson's Rocket, 1829, would lead to great railroad infrastructure, which helped with city planning, made moving to the city easier, and made trade and large-scale commerce much better. For example, now placing factories in population centers made more sense. (I barely understand why myself, but okay)

First steam-powered mill (1779) Crompton's "mule" + Spinning jenny and water frame fully automated weaving process. Yeah.

Cartwright's power loom (1787) According to wikipedia:

Karl Benz's internal-combustion automobile engine (1885)

Cathode rays discovered 1858

First commercially successful (though kind of clumsy) steam engine, used to pump water out of coal mines. Big deal, since we've just unlocked a new power source.

Began the first regular commercial rail service

Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883) Large suspension bridge, "triumph of engineering."

Reinforced Concrete

Robert Fulton (1807)'s Clermont

Gugliemo Marconi (1901) transatlantic radio message From Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

William Murdock's cool thing he did (1792) Lit his home using coal gas. Also, he was James Watt's assistant.

Samuel F. B. Morse's telegraph and Morse Code (1837) This would allow for long-distance communication

Henry Bessemir's steel converter (1854) Revolutionized the production of steel

First transatlantic cable completed

For the World Exposition in Paris

Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent Useful for, like, ship distress calls. Say, for example, the one the Titanic sent out.

James Hargreaves (1765)'s spinning jenny Automated thread spinning

Marc Brunel's first underwater tunnel (1826-1842)

1883

This is a record player. Useful for music, instructions, etc.,

First high explosive that could be safely handled. Useful for mining and clearing areas for infrastructure.
