What are eight machines invented during the industrail revolution (1775-1899)?

I need help i have no time to look it up, Please include: Year, Invention, And Inventor Thanks.

Here’s 10……….you choose

The Spinning jenny was a machine that could spin threads of wool. It was invented by James Hargreaves in 1770 and initially could spin 8 threads at once. Hargreaves developed this machine to the extent that it could spin 120 threads at any one time. These machines were small enough to fit into cottages and rapidly increased production (by hand a person can only spin one thread at a time).

Richard Arkwright patented the Water Frame in 1769. It had been designed by Thomas highs on his behalf. The Water frame was a large wheel that was turned by running water. This was then harnessed to turn cogs inside a factory which then made the machinery work. This invention led to the building of a number of factories and is regarded by some as being the catalyst of the Industrial Revolution.

The first steam powered devices were pumps. The first practical one being developed by Thomas Newcomen. This steam powered pump was used to not only pump water from mines but also to blow air into furnaces, and for pumping drinking water into towns.

James Watt’s development of the steam engine led to a large number of further developments. using steam to create energy meant that this new form of powering a machine could be used anywhere, rather than just next to a stream/ river as with the Water Frame. The steam engine is best associated with the invention of trains but also was used to power machinery in factories, to power lifts in mines and for many other purposes.

In 1801 Richard Trevithick developed a steam powered carriage that carried passengers on roads, he developed this idea further and in 1804 created the first locomotive to run on rails (ie the first train). He then demonstrated an Updated Version of his locomotive in london in 1808.

Trevithicks’ ideas were developed by the George Stephenson. Stephenson was an engineer in the mining industry and had responsibility for the steam engines that pulled waggons up from the pit face. He rapidly developed these engines and built a locomotive in 1814. he then was appointed chief engineer of the first ‘railway’ between Stockton and Darlington and later built the famous ‘Rocket’ which ran on the Manchester to Liverpool line which opened in 1830.

William Fothergill Cooke and Charles Wheatstone patented their first needle electric telegraph in 1837.

Joseph Bramah invented a flushing water closet as early as 1783

In 1786 Matthew Boulton applied steam power to coining machines. So successful was the process that as well as his supplying the home market, he produced coins for foreign governments as well.

In 1733 John Kay patented his flying shuttle that dramatically increased the speed of this process. Kay placed shuttle boxes at each side of the loom connected by a long board, known as a shuttle race. By means of cords attached to a picking peg, a single weaver, using one hand, could cause the shuttle to be knocked back and forth across the loom from one shuttle box to the other. A weaver using Kay’s flying shuttle could produce much wider cloth at faster speeds than before.

A Closer Look at Commercial Popcorn Machines

What is it about popcorn that everyone seems to like it so much? Its a light airy snack that actually gives a sense of substance in the mouth as it is eaten. The truth is however, that a person can munch on this toasty delicious snack all day and actually consume very few calories. Also, there is just something special and almost magical about the way that it appears with a pop from a plain and simple and unremarkable kernel of corn.

A Brilliant Invention

It was at the Worlds Columbian Exposition, in the year 1893, that an inventor by the name of Charles Cretors introduced the public to its first commercial popcorn machine. It was a resounding success and the rest is history. Perhaps it is also the pure convenience for the vendor, as well as the customer that a popcorn machine offers, that has helped to broaden their popularity so universally.

Newer Easier to Use and Maintain Commercial Machines

For generations, commercial popcorn machines were big bulky and expensive and also tended to require a fair amount of maintenance. This is why, for the most part they were only used at theaters and carnivals where a worker could tend to its maintenance requirements. Todays choices in commercial popcorn machines however, have undergone a number of technological upgrades and now they are easier to use then ever.

Clever Classic Design Styles

This is the main reason behind the recent trend in people buying and bringing commercial popcorn machines into their homes and small businesses. It turns out, that they make a great addition to a TV room, home theater or patio. This in turn, has led to the design and introduction of numerous classically designed, four legged amusement park style popcorn machines for the home or office.

The Perfect Fund Raiser

Also, community civic groups everywhere are recognizing the  money generating potential of a commercial popcorn machine at their community oriented fund raising events. They simply plug their machine in, load it up and as soon as the people in attendance see and smell it, they line up to fill their bag and drop a dollar in the donation slot.
