Industrial Revolution Inventors duel

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

1858

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

Early form of photography

Joseph Monier (1849)

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

James Watt's efficient steam engine (1765)

Revolutionized the production of steel

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

Thomas Alva Edison's phonograph (1877)

First steam-powered mill (1779)

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)

Useful for, like, ship distress calls. Say, for example, the one the Titanic sent out.

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.

Gasoline refinement

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

First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago)

First transatlantic cable completed 1858

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.

cars go vroom

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

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

James Hargreaves (1765)'s spinning jenny

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

Jethro Tull (1708)'s mechanical seed drill

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

Eli Whitney (1793)'s cotton gin

Charles Babbage (1834)'s analytic engine

Alfred Nobel's dynamite (1867)

For the World Exposition in Paris

Alfred Nobel's dynamite (1867)

Gasoline refinement

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.

Cathode rays discovered 1858

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

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

From Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

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

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

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

Charles Babbage (1834)'s analytic engine

James Hargreaves (1765)'s spinning jenny

Revolutionized the production of steel

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

First transatlantic cable completed 1858

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)

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

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

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

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

James Brindley (1761)'s Bridgewater Canal

1883

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.

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

Singer's first practical sewing machine (1851)

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.

More efficient thread spinning

Reinforced Concrete
