- The first modern Battery by Volta
Volta's initial invention literally sparked a great amount of scientific excitement around the world which would lead to the eventual development of the field of electrochemistry.
The first rechargeable battery was invented in 1859 by the French physician Gaston Plante. Later advancements would lead to the Nickel-Cadmium battery being developed in 1899 by Waldemar Junger.
With the seeds and fibers separated more efficiently it became much easier for farmers to use the fibres to make cotton goods like linen. They could also simultaneously separate seeds for more crop growth or the production of cottonseed oil.
James innovation of adding a separate condenser significantly improved steam engine efficiency, especially latent heat losses. His new engine would prove very popular and would wind up installed in mines and factories across the world.

6.Typewriter
There were earlier machines similar in purpose, a notable example being Henry Mill's 1714 patent, but it appears to have never been capitalized upon.
This lack of efficiency improvement over handwriting ultimately sealed Burt's machine's doom. Both he and its promoter John D. Sheldon never found a buyer for the patent.
