Industrial Revolution Inventors duel

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

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

Eli Whitney (1793)'s cotton gin

Samuel F. B. Morse's telegraph and Morse Code (1837)

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

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

Automated thread spinning

James Watt's efficient steam engine (1765)

Charles Babbage (1834)'s analytic engine

Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883)

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

Robert Fulton (1807)'s Clermont

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

Eiffel Tower (1889)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cathode rays discovered 1858

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

James Brindley (1761)'s Bridgewater Canal

Michael Faraday (1831)'s discovery of electromagnetic currents Made generators and electrical engines possible

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.

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

Robert Trevithick (1801)'s steam locomotive demonstration

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

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

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838)

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

First ancestor of the computer

Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine 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.

First transatlantic cable completed 1858

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)

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.

Hiram Maxim's machine gun (1884)

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

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.

Allowed for more sewing, including at-home

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

Automated thread spinning

Cathode rays discovered 1858

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

Early form of photography

This would allow for long-distance communication

Thomas Edison (1879)

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

Joseph Monier (1849)

Eiffel Tower (1889) For the World Exposition in Paris

James Watt's efficient steam engine (1765) Like fifty years later, they finally came out with a steam engine with a condensing chamber, making it more efficient. Also a pretty big deal.

Michael Faraday (1831)'s discovery of electromagnetic currents

Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent

From Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

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

Revolutionized the production of steel

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

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

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.
