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

Gasoline refinement

Joseph Monier (1849)

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

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

Eiffel Tower (1889)

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

First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago) 1883

William Murdock's cool thing he did (1792)

Eli Whitney (1793)'s cotton gin

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

Hiram Maxim's machine gun (1884)

Singer's first practical sewing machine (1851)

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

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

First ancestor of the computer

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

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

Joseph Monier (1849) Reinforced Concrete

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

James Watt's efficient steam engine (1765)

First transatlantic cable completed

Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent

Eiffel Tower (1889) For the World Exposition in Paris

From Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

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.

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

Richard Arkwright's water frame (1769) More efficient thread spinning

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

First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago)

Large suspension bridge, "triumph of engineering."

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838) Early form of photography

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

James Brindley (1761)'s Bridgewater Canal

Made communicating across long distances much easier, but such conversations still had to be done in public, etc.,

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

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

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

Charles Babbage (1834)'s analytic engine First ancestor of the computer

Thomas Alva Edison's phonograph (1877) This is a record player. Useful for music, instructions, etc.,

Allowed for more sewing, including at-home

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

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.

Hiram Maxim's machine gun (1884) Mass slaughter is now possible, begins mechanization of warfare. Unfortunately, as some predicted, his machine gun did not prevent war — people still fought, despite these monsters being on the battlefield.

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.

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)

Made generators and electrical engines possible
