Industrial Revolution Inventions

As the name suggests the industrial revolution, played a major role in modernization of the world. The era of whole-scale industrial liberalization has played a significant role in the scientific advancement of the world. This advancement changed mankind within a time span of just 3 centuries. It all began with the advancement of the liberal thoughts of mankind after the Renaissance, which eventually led to the industrial revolution inventions. Timeline of these inventions span over the 18th and 19th centuries. Often the entire time period is divided into the first industrial revolution and second industrial revolution. The inventions of the industrial revolution have been discussed in the following paragraphs.

Inventions of the Industrial Revolution

If we go on to make a list of industrial revolution inventions, then it is bound to be mammoth. Hence to make matters simpler, a description of three industrial revolution inventions that actually started off the race for riches through industrial processes has been included. In some cases more than one person can be credited to be the person behind the invention and the promotion of technology. So here goes.

    * Steam Engine: Issac Newton proved the many laws of motion and energy and people pondered for a long time over two enslave motion and energy. James Watt was successful in making the steam engine that would successfully operate mine pumps and then the rail roads. Another notable promoter of the steam engine was Thomas Newcomen.
    * Iron Founding: As the ever booming industry needed several parts and machines, the forgers and iron men came up with iron fondling machines. Coke replaced charcoal in smelting and potting, stamping and puddling processes replaced come older conventions. Henry Cort is credited to be the inventor of the famous puddling furnace.
    * Textiles: The textile industry was a very well paying and important industry of the European economy. Water Frame of Richard Arkwright, James Hargreaves's Spinning Jenny and Samuel Crompton's Spinning Mule are 3 important inventions of the textile sectors.

Apart from the aforementioned inventions, there are some landmark industrial revolution inventions that changed the world. Such inventions have been divided according to the continents.

Industrial Revolution Inventions in Europe

If we consider the investors from Europe, then we have James Watt and Thomas Newcomen who worked on the steam engine. Then we have Henry Cort who worked in the field of iron founding. Turning to the field of communications we have Samuel Thomas von Sömmerring, a German scientists who built one of the first electronic telegraphs in 1809. If travel much further through a few decades then we have Cyrus West Field, headed Atlantic Telegraph Company which laid the first telegraph cable across the Atlantic. Turning to electricity, Nikola Tesla is a name that must be certainly mentioned, whose contribution in early 20th century to commercial electricity powered the industry. Alexander Graham Bell should not be forgotten as he is the father of communications. A very very, important invention was the diesel engine of Rudolf Diesel. Francois Isaac de Rivaz, a Swiss scientist designed one of the earliest internal combustion engines in 1807. The father of modern science awards, the Nobel Prize, Sir Alfred Nobel, a Swedish scientist invented the Dynamite in 1867.

Moving on across the Atlantic…

Industrial Revolution Inventions in America

It was not just the Europeans who contributed their inventions. There are some substantial number of landmark inventions of the industrial revolutions, that were contributed by American inventors. Eli Whitney, Jr. a pioneer in textile developments, invented the cotton gin in 1793. Robert Fulton a pioneer of naval transport, invented the steam boat and the first submarine. Samuel Morse pioneered the communication sector with Bell when he invented the single wire telegraph and the, still in use, Morse code. Elias Howe gave tailors and housewives a great comfort with his effective sewing machine. Out of all other inventions, this one is probably the most complex one and also the smallest, by the virtue of size. The design of sewing machine was further promoted by Isaac Singer. Scientific legend, Thomas Edison was the inventor of 3 technologies, bulb, phonograph and motion picture camera. Wright brothers who gave man wings, will always carry the credit of flight. Henry Ford is a must mention because of his assembly line technique, which drives the speed of industry even today.

These industrial revolution inventions have shaped the world in which we live today. There many names and inventions that should have been mentioned, the world owes a lot to them.
