Innovations/ Inventions Timeline Project

  • Steam engine

    Steam engine
    Thomas Savery first invented a steam powered engine. First made in France.This impacted the mid 1800's in america by making life easier for manufaturing reasons but bad for worker's who were replaced by the steam machines. Inventions that were based on the steam engine are most of the electronical devices that we use today. For example a toaster is realied on power sorce such as electricity just like a steam engine relys on steam to work.
  • Steamboat

    Steamboat
    John Fitch invented the steamboat. First, sailed on the shores of the deleware river. This invention made transport easily on river paths due to stronger force than paddles. This invention is still used today by a motor which instead of steam runs on gas.
  • Steel Plow

    John Deere invented the Steel Plow. It was invented in Illinois . The steel plow made it easier to break the soil of the midwest of America. The steel plow made it possible to break down the rough soil and to plant food inside it. Today the Steel Plow has been upgraded to the a machine instead of an animal breaking the soil attached with more than one Plow inside the machine.
