Flying Shuttle
Invented by John Kay
1733The Flying Shuttle was crucial
to the textile industry of the
industrial revolution as it allowed
workers to spool higher amounts
and/of wider fabrics later on
allowing and prompting machines to be automated.
It would have an impact since it was the main influence
to James Hargreeves for his Spinning Jenny in 1764.
Multiple workers would be required to operate the Flying Shuttle
due to its unnaturally
heavyweight and impractical operation.
The flying shuttle was used with the Spinning Jenny
and repSpinning Jenny
Invented by James Hargreeves
1764The Spinning Jenny was an invention
that allowed one worker to
simultaneously spin 8 spools
of yarn or cotton. This allowed mass
production of usable materials which
helped contribute to the rise in factory use
and efficiency which also affected urbanisation
rates due to the increase in usable
product needed more workers. Due to its help in
the rise in production and jobs its credited to be one
of the main inventions that started the industrial revolution.Spinning Mule
Invented by Samual Crompton
1779self spinning mule
Invented by Samual Crompton
1824The Spinning Mule was a modified version of the spinning jenny
which relied upon a
water wheel on a neighbouring river to turn the handle so the worker
could have two to turn the wheel.
Although the efficiency of factories
increased it made it so to get the water-powered spinning mule you would have to
be located next to a flowing water source.The Self Spinning Mule was the last iteration of the Spinning Jerry during the industrial revolution
which allowed the machine to be powered by a steam engine. This meant that the Self Spinning Mule could
be more efficient being built from 8 spools at once to up to 120. The Self Spinning Mule paired with the Flying
Shuttle allowed little personnel to run the machine only having to replace the thread and move the spun
spools out of the machine. The steam engine also allowed
for factories to be built anySteam Engine
Invented by James Watt
1712The steam engine was an engine that used pressurised
steam to move pistons to turn a flywheel into rotational
energy. The Steam engine is referred to as an external
combustion engine' due to the fuel being separated from
the force that creates mechanical energy (Steam). Although the steam engines first
model was inefficient, through later iterations it became more
efficient and became the ideal power source for factories
during the industrial revolution. Even more importantly it's practically non stop roSeed Drill
Invented by Jethro Tull
1701The Seed Drill was invented to help stabilise Britains food supply
due to the uncertainty of crop success in across the British colony.
The Seed Drill had the desired seeds put on top of the wheelbarrow
like machine which would be wheeled along the farmr's fields where it
would dig and plant seed across fields at rates never seen beforeCotton Gin
Invented by Eli Whitney
1793 (patented in 1794)Cotton gin (meaning cotton engine) was invented to help
the cotton industry by helping farmers separate the cotton fibres from
the seed. higher quality cotton is than separated from lower quality thread
to be used for textiles such as clothing while the lower quality thread will
be turned into calico. The seeds after being separated from the cotton
can still be planted again to produce more cotton. The cotton gin also
revolutionised Americas cotton industry and indirectly led to
increasing the numberbibliography
