James Watt
While attempting to improve the steam engine, he invented the separate condenser, his first and greatest invention. Although he wasn't the original inventor, he improved the steam engine in his invention used to lessen the consumption of steam and fuel in fire engines.

Utilitarianism is ethical theories that promote actions that maximize happiness and well-being for the affected individuals -
George Stephenson
George was a self made mechanical engineer and is known today as "Father of the railways" As he built the first railway line. He later built several locomotives and also gained fame from his mine safety lamp. One of his inventions the “steam blast,” was popular as exhaust steam was redirected up the chimney, pulling air after it and increasing the draft. -
Interchangeable parts
Eli Whitney was the first person to use interchangeable parts, he used them to assemble muskets in the first years of the 19th century, which made mass production easier, and cheaper. This invention made it so parts from one invention could be used for others. Parts were easier to get after this invention was developed. -
Mutual-aid societies
Mutual-aid societies were made for people to help each other without regard to nationalism, ethnicity, religion, class, or any of the false divisions, and focus specifically on that common principles. This was the early beginning of welfare today. Daniel Defoe was known for the growth and development of friendly communities -
Communism

Believed everything should be publicly owned. Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels were known for developing this idea. -
Charles Darwin
Charles was a scientist and naturalist that impacted science and the way we think about our world with his theory of evolution. He set aboard the HMS beagle on which he wrote a diary of all the things he saw that was later published. His theory of evolution by natural selection is what the evolutionary theory is built upon. -
dynamo
This invention led directly to the first major industrial uses of electricity such as furnaces. The dynamo was the first electrical generator capable of delivering power for industry.Michael Faraday is the inventor known for developing the dynamo. -
Thomas Edison
Over Thomas's life he acquired a record of 1,093 patents. Edison was also the driving force behind some great inventions such as: The phonograph, incandescent light bulb and one of the earliest motion picture cameras. Edison was also a successful manufacturer and businessman making him one of the most famous men in the world by the time he was in his 30's. -

airplane
the Wright brothers achieved the first powered, sustained and controlled airplane flight, and later he invented and flew the first fully practical airplane .The brothers were the first to demonstrate that man powered flight could be achieved. Their invention was based on observations of birds. -
Automobile
Henry ford was a certified machinist and created several automobile like projects until eventually the first Model t was made. Ford realized he needed to make the automobiles faster for people to buy them so he created the assembly line to create a mass production. Henry tried to try create an automobile company twice, and both times failed that is until the third try when ford motor company was made. -
Assembly line
Henry ford installed the first assembly line for the mass production of the automobile he also invented. The assembly line made it so mass productions of things could be done easier and faster. With the use of the assembly line, there was a continuous flow production of inventions and supplies.
