THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES , INVENTIONS TO IMPROVE LIFE

SMALLPOX VACCINE (vacuna contra la viruela)

1798 BCE

On May 17, 1749, Edward Jenner was born, who would achieve world fame as the inventor of the smallpox vaccine and whose controversial research in this field was destined to change the history of medicine forever.
The cowpox was inoculated in one of them and after 10 days a few grains came out that exhaled the so-called vaccine fluid. This was collected and inoculated into another child. And so the chain remained.

HYDRAULIC PRESS (prensa hidráulica)

1796 BCE

In 1795 he was granted a patent for his hydraulic press, which is still known today as the Bramah press. Bramah was a prolific inventor, holding 18 patents for his designs.
A hydraulic press is used to multiply forces. It allows us that by applying small forces, we obtain large forces. It is used for both pressing and heavy lifting. This system is used in hydraulic brakes.

Pencil (lápiz)

1795 BCE

French inventor Nicolas-Jacques Conté invented the modern pencil as we know it today in 1794.
The pencil has an ancestor that was the stylus, which was a metal stick that the Romans used to scratch papyrus. In ancient times pencils were wrapped in animal skins. In the eighteenth century the wooden pencil was invented by the Italians.
The earliest form of pencil that we know today was found in the mid-17th century in Cumbria, England, when a huge deposit of graphite was found.

GAS TURBINE (turbina de gas)

1791 BCE

john barber was the creator of the gas turbine in 1790 Barber's turbine consisted of burning gas obtained from wood, coal, oil or other substances, heated in a retort or producer, where the gases were transported to a receiver and cooled.
It is a rotary internal combustion thermal engine, where from the energy provided by a fuel, mechanical energy is produced and a significant amount of heat is generated in the form of hot gases with a high percentage of oxygen.

STEAMBOAD (barco de vapor)

1787 BCE

In 1787 John Fitch sailed the first prototype steamboat down the Delaware River. But it was not until 1807 that Robert Fulton carried out the construction and commercialization of the first steamboat in history.
The main function of the steam ship was the increase in efficiency thanks to the power of the steam engine to not only load more merchandise and passengers, but also to transport them at a higher speed.

AIR BALLOON (globo aerostático)

1783 BCE

Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier, the inventors of the hot air balloon. On June 4, 1783, they held their first public demonstration of their invention.
The Robert brothers raised a different model of balloon, with hot air and a gas discovered a few years ago, hydrogen. This balloon traveled about 20km and landed about 45 minutes later.
History of hot air balloons. The balloons were, in their time, the most significant inventions of flying devices of the human being.

LIGHTNING ROD (pararrayos)

1752 BCE

The lightning rod is a founding milestone. Benjamin Franklin's idea made it possible to attract lightning to points where they would not generate danger. Humanity ceased to be afraid of storms.
A lightning rod is an external terminal installed on a building or structure that aims to attract lightning to have a controlled impact point and prevent it from hitting an unwanted area or causing damage to people.

MERCURY THERMOMETER (termómetro de mercurio)

1714 BCE

In 1714, physical use Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer that allowed higher temperatures to be measured and its widespread use because mercury is a liquid metal that responded very quickly and reliably to changes in temperature.
Fahrenheit invented the spirit thermometer in 1709, and the mercury thermometer in 1714. In 1724, the standard temperature scale named after him was introduced Fahrenheit scale, which was used to accurately record changes in temperature

STEAM ENGIE (motor de vapor)

1705 BCE

In 1705 the inventor Thomas Newcomen patented a model of a steam engine to pump the water that seeped into mining operations.
The steam engine is a device for converting thermal energy from the heat produced by a fuel into mechanical work. For example, the chemical energy of wood, coal, or oil, or the nuclear energy of uranium, can be converted into heat.
The widespread development of engines and machines revolutionized the mass production of consumer goods, construction, and transportation.

SEEDER (sembradora)

1701 BCE

Jethro Tull seeder. The Englishman Jethro Tull, a true pioneer of scientific agriculture, designed this seeder in the early years of the 18th century. This ingenuity made it possible to cultivate more quickly, placing the seed in rows and thereby facilitating other agricultural tasks such as harvesting.
The Agricultural Revolution, managed to increase productivity in the field and produce different types of food. The collaboration between Industry and agriculture.
