Industrial Revolution Inventors duel

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

Hiram Maxim's machine gun (1884)

According to wikipedia:

Reinforced Concrete

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.

Gasoline refinement

Thomas Newcomen (1712)'s steam engine

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

First ancestor of the computer

William Murdock's cool thing he did (1792)

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.

First skyscraper (10 stories tall) (in Chicago)

Thomas Edison (1879)

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

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

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

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

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

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838) Early form of photography

Gugliemo Marconi (1896)'s wireless telegraph patent

cars go vroom

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

Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883)

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

Eiffel Tower (1889) For the World Exposition in Paris

James Hargreaves (1765)'s spinning jenny

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

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

1858

Robert Fulton (1807)'s Clermont

William Murdock's cool thing he did (1792)

More efficient thread spinning

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

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

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

Hiram Maxim's machine gun (1884)

Liverpool and Manchester Railway (1830)

Eiffel Tower (1889) For the World Exposition in Paris

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

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

First transatlantic cable completed 1858

Brooklyn Bridge opened (1883)

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

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

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

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

Cathode rays discovered

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.

Alexander Graham Bell's telephone (1876)

Eli Whitney (1793)'s cotton gin

According to wikipedia:

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

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

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

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

Daguerre's daguerrotype (1838) Early form of photography

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.

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

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.
