Industrial Revolution Inventors duel

Crompton's "mule" + Spinning jenny and water frame fully automated weaving process. Yeah.

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.

James Watt's efficient steam engine (1765)

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

Richard Arkwright's water frame (1769)

Robert Trevithick (1801)'s steam locomotive demonstration

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

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

Lit his home using coal gas. Also, he was James Watt's assistant.

Helped plant crops

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

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

First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago)

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.

Charles Babbage (1834)'s analytic engine

Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883)

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

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

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

Cathode rays discovered 1858

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

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

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

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

For the World Exposition in Paris

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

Robert Fulton (1807)'s Clermont 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.

First transatlantic cable completed 1858

According to wikipedia:

Joseph Monier (1849) Reinforced Concrete

James Brindley (1761)'s Bridgewater Canal

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

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

Eli Whitney (1793)'s cotton gin

Began the first regular commercial rail service

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

Under the Thames

Crompton's "mule" + Spinning jenny and water frame fully automated weaving process. Yeah.

1858

Joseph Monier (1849)

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838)

Eiffel Tower (1889) For the World Exposition in Paris

First ancestor of the computer

First transatlantic cable completed 1858

More efficient thread spinning

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

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

Cartwright's power loom (1787)

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

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

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

This would allow for long-distance communication

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

Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine

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

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.

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)

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