- - - - This effected the slave population that went way up from just a few thousand to a few hundred thousand.
        
        This also had a huge impact on the amount of water gone just to grow the cotton to make socks and other things.
- - - - This vastly increased mills productivity and,along with the Flying Shuttle, helped force further industrialization of the textile industry in the United Kingdom.
        
        By the time of Hargreaves's death in 1778, there were around 20,000 Spinning Jennys across the UK.
- - - - By 1783 he managed to obtain a patent for grooved rollers that would allow him to produce iron bars more quickly than the old method of hammering.
        
        His puddling process would take the iron industry by storm and over the following 20-years, British iron production quadrupled!
- - - - Arguably the most important development of the Industrial Revolution, the steam engine facilitated major advancements in the fields of mining, manufacturing, agriculture and transportation.
        
        in the first century A.D., a Greek inventor named Hero of Alexandria designed the world's first aeolipile, or primitive steam turbine. Heron's aeolipile consisted of a hollow sphere, mounted on a pair of tubes. Heated from below by fire, the tubes transported steam to the sphere, where it was released through another series of tubes projecting from the sphere's equator.
- - - - The Mule managed to produce a strong, fine and soft yarn that could be used in many kinds of textiles.
        
        It was, however, best suited for the production of muslins. The Mule was devised by Samuel Crompton in 1775 who was a too poor to actually patent his invention and so sold it to a Bolton manufacturer. The very first Mules were hand-operated but by the 1790s larger versions were driven by steam engines. Thes larger machines had as many as 400 spindles.
- - - - 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.
        
        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.
- - - - Further refinement of his design would ultimately allow the machine to spin 100's of strands at one time.
        
        The spinning machine would go on to be installed in mills around Derbyshire and Lancashire where they were powered by waterwheels hence they were called water frames. Arkwright's machines alleviated the need for highly skills operators adding significant cost savings to mills that installed them.
- - - - After its development, gas lighting became the method of street lighting across the United States and Europe. These would eventually be replaced with low-pressure sodium or high-pressure mercury lighting in the 1930s.
