Spinning jenny
James Hargreaves invents the spinning jenny, automating weaving the warp (in the weaving of cloth). -
Tunneling Sheild
Marc Brunel invents a tunnelling shield, making subaqueous tunnelling possible. They can now make subways and underground transport a reality -
Electro-Magnetic Current
Electro-Magnetic Current, making generators and electric engines possible. -
Monier develops reinforced concrete.
Monier develops reinforced concrete. This meant he could make tall towers, with a strong base and strong structure. He can also line tunnels. Concrete is now one of the most used materials in the world. -
petrol (gasoline) refining first used
Petrol was first refined, to make fuel and many other things such asphalt base and many other types of fuel. Fuel is burned in internal combustion engines to provide power for cars and boats.

The Invention of the telephone
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. Alexander and Elish Gray both rushed to the patent office within hours of each other. Alexander got there first. The was a big court case and Alexander came out on top. -
Induction of electric motors
An induction or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor needed to produce torque is induced by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. An induction motor therefore does not require mechanical commutation, separate-excitation or self-excitation for all or part of the energy transferred from stator to rotor, as in universal, DC and large synchronous motors. An induction motor's rotor can be either wound type or squirrel -
Diesel Engine
When diesel was only 14, he wrote a letter to his parents, saying he wanted to become an engineer. He knew that 90% of fuel was wasted in steam engines and he wanted to make better efficiency rates. He also started the use of vegetable oils as fuel. -
First Aeroplane
Orville and wilbur wright created the first aeroplane. It only flew for a few seconds but its design inspired other aeroplane designs that created the modern day aeroplane.
