THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES , INVENTIONS TO IMPROVE LIFE

  • Seeder

    Seeder
    The Englishman Jethro Tull, a true pioneer of scientific agriculture, designed this planter 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. In addition, the seed was buried at a greater depth, thus removing the danger of losses due to birds or the wind.
  • Mercury thermometer

    Mercury thermometer
    The creator of the mercury thermometer is Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit. Around the year 1714, it was Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit who created the mercury bulb thermometer, formed by a glass capillary of uniform diameter connected by its end with a mercury-filled vial. The assembly is sealed and when the temperature increases, the mercury expands and rises through the capillary.
  • Lightning conductor

    Lightning conductor
    A lightning rod is an instrument whose objective is to attract an ionized ray from the air to conduct the discharge towards the ground, in such a way that it does not cause damage to people or buildings. It was invented in 1753 by Benjamin Franklin. The first model is known as Franklin lightning conductor, in homage for this person the inventor. Today we continue to use it but a more modern model, this invention at that time prevented lightning from falling in important areas.
  • Aerostatic balloon

    Aerostatic balloon
    The creator of the aerostatic balloon is the montgolfier sisters. Hot air balloons were called montgolfiere or mongolfiera. Joseph Montgolfier, Pilâtre de Rozier and four other adventurers staged the second manned flight on January 19, 1784, with a 13,000 cubic meter balloon, traveling a short journey. They take just under half an hour they traveled about 13 kilometers and reached more than 900 meters high.
  • Mechanical loom

    Mechanical loom
    The creator of the mechanical loom is Edmund Cartwright. In this moment is a important for the created a new clothes. A power loom is a mechanized loom system driven by a drive shaft. The mechanical loom was the result of the evolution of the manual loom, using a mechanical unit to connect and synchronize all the mechanisms.
    The first power looms had a collective power supply from hydraulic energy.
  • Sewing machine

    Sewing machine
    The inventor of the sewing machine is a thomas saint The first prototype sewing machine was patented in 1790. Saint's machine, which was designed to sew leather and fabric, used a single thread and formed a chain stitch. It is used to create clothes nowadays it is still used but more modern models. Its movement was derived from the rotation of a crank on an axis, which in turn activated the cams that produced all the actions of the machine. But this machine don't have a pass for the prototipe.
  • The turbine gas

    The turbine gas
    The created of the turbine gas is a John Barber. A gas turbine is a turbine engine whose working fluid is a gas. As the compressibility of gases cannot be neglected, gas turbines are thermal turbomachines. Gas turbines are commonly spoken of separately from turbines since, although they work with substances in the gaseous state, their design characteristics are different, and, when in these terms we speak of gases, a possible phase change is not expected. When it comes to vapors, yes.
  • Pencil

    Pencil
    The conté pencil is a drawing instrument made from pressed graphite or charcoal powder mixed on a wax or clay base. It was invented in 1795 by the Frenchman Nicolas-Jacques Conté, who had the idea of ​​combining graphite with clay to cope with the shortage of English graphite produced by the naval blockade of France by the British navy during the Napoleonic Wars. Conté pencils had the advantage of being inexpensive to manufacture and easy to produce with varying degrees of hardness.
  • Hydraulics press

    Hydraulics press
    The creator of the hydraulics press is Joseph Bramah. This press allows great pressure to be applied to shape metallic materials, applying Pascal's principle. It consists of two parallel tubes of different diameter, filled with fluid and closed by two pistons. A reduced force applied to the small one is transmitted through the fluid and is transformed into a greater one on the large piston. In 1795 he was granted a patent for his hydraulic press, which is still known today as the Bramah press.
  • Vaccine of the smallpox.

    Vaccine of the smallpox.
    On May 14, 1796, Edward Jenner took material from a cowpox pustular lesion caused by the cowpox virus, obtained from the hand of milker Sarah Nelmes and inoculated it into the arm of James Phipps, an 8-year-old boy, son from the Jenner family gardener. Two months later, he inoculated material from a lesion from a patient with smallpox and showed that James did not contract the disease, stating that he had been immune this s a important advance.
