Industrial Revolution Inventors duel

According to wikipedia:

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838) Early form of photography

Joseph Monier (1849) Reinforced Concrete

Cathode rays discovered

Jethro Tull (1708)'s mechanical seed drill

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

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

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

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

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

More efficient thread spinning

Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine

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)

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

For the World Exposition in Paris

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.

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

Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883)

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

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

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

Hiram Maxim's machine gun (1884)

First transatlantic cable completed 1858

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

1883

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.

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

Thomas Edison (1879)

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

John Kay (1733)'s flying shuttle

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

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

James Hargreaves (1765)'s spinning jenny

Robert Trevithick (1801)'s steam locomotive demonstration

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

Revolutionized the production of steel

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

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

Large suspension bridge, "triumph of engineering."

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

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

For the World Exposition in Paris

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

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

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

Joseph Monier (1849) Reinforced Concrete

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838) Early form of photography

First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago)

Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine

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

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.

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

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.

Made generators and electrical engines possible

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

1858

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

First ancestor of the computer

First transatlantic cable completed 1858
