Newcomen atmospheric engine
used to pump the water out This made it so they can mine deeper and reach more of the minerals that were key to the industrialisation of Britain. -
Spinning jenny
hand powered multi spindle spinning machine invented by James Hargreaves around 1764 It significantly increased the speed and efficiency of spinning yarn a key development during the Industrial Revolution -
Spinning frame
it was made for spinning thread or yarn from fibres such as wool or cotton in a mechanized way. It was developed in 18th-century Britain by Richard Arkwright and John Kay. -
Watt steam engine
invention that improved upon earlier steam engines by using a separate condenser to increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption This innovation made steam engines more practical and cost-effective for various industries, driving the Industrial Revolution -
Watt steam engine
steam engine designs particularly the Newcomen engine by incorporating a separate condenser This innovation increased efficiency and reduced fuel consumption making it a key engine of the Industrial Revolution -
Water frame
water powered spinning machine invented by Richard Arkwright in the late 18th century It revolutionized the textile industry by enabling the mass production of strong cotton yarn -
Flying shuttle
the Industrial Revolution, developed by John Kay in 1733. It revolutionized weaving by allowing one weaver to pass the weft (crosswise) thread through the warp (lengthwise) threads much faster and with greater ease than before. This led to increased production and efficiency in the textile industry -
Spinning mule
crucial machine in the Industrial Revolution, revolutionizing the textile industry by enabling the production of finer and more uniform yarn than previous methods. It combined features of earlier inventions like the spinning jenny and water frame, allowing one person to operate many spindles simultaneously -
Steam engine
converts thermal energy of steam into mechanical work using the force generated by steam pressure to push a piston back and forth -
Cotton gin
machine that separates cotton fibres from their seeds, making the process much faster and more efficient than manual separation It was invented in the late 18th century by Eli Whitney and revolutionized cotton production -
Steam locomotive
self propelled vehicle that uses steam power to move itself and other vehicles along tracks It works by burning fuel to heat water in a boiler creating steam which then expands and drives pistons connected to the wheels -
Sewing machine
His machine used a curved, eye-pointed needle and a shuttle to create a lockstitch, a significant step toward the modern sewing machine. Hunt did not patent his machine and later lost interest in it preventing widespread adoption of his design -
Electrical telegraph
electrical signals over wires to transmit messages, primarily used from the 1840s to the late 20th century. It significantly impacted various aspects of society, including news delivery, business operations, and law enforcement -
Bessemer process
method for producing steel from molten pig iron by blowing air through the molten iron in a converter This process removes impurities primarily excess carbon, through oxidation, leading to a lower carbon steel that is stronger and lighter
