Industrial Revolution Inventors duel

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

Eiffel Tower (1889) For the World Exposition in Paris

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

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)

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

Robert Fulton (1807)'s Clermont

Allowed for barges to carry coal from Worsely to Manchester

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

Allowed for more sewing, including at-home

According to wikipedia:

Gasoline refinement

Cathode rays discovered 1858

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838) Early form of photography

Made generators and electrical engines possible

John Kay (1733)'s flying shuttle

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

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

Hiram Maxim's machine gun (1884)

Joseph Monier (1849)

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

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

Eli Whitney (1793)'s cotton gin

Henry Bessemir's steel converter (1854)

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.

Jethro Tull (1708)'s mechanical seed drill

Thomas Alva Edison's phonograph (1877)

Richard Arkwright's water frame (1769)

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

Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883)

From Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

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

Charles Babbage (1834)'s analytic engine

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

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

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

Tremendously helped with making weaving easier, used in the putting-out industry at first.

Alfred Nobel's dynamite (1867)

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

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.

Liverpool and Manchester Railway (1830)

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.

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

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

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

Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine

Automated thread spinning

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

1858

Early form of photography

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

Cathode rays discovered 1858

Alexander Graham Bell's telephone (1876)

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

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.

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

Eiffel Tower (1889) For the World Exposition in Paris

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

Made generators and electrical engines possible

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