Inventions of Market Revolution
The Cotton Gin
They could simultaneously separate seeds for more crop growth or the production of cottonseed oil.
Cotton seeds needed to be removed from fibers by hand.
The Cotton Gin enabled many more farmers to consider cotton as their main crop
The first modern Battery by Volta
The first true modern electric battery
This world-first was the brainchild of one Alessandro Volta with the development of his voltaic pile.
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 factory opened by Lombe
Lombe's factory used water power to help the factory mass produce silk products.
The factory was built on an island on the River Derwent in the English county of Derby.
The idea for the factory came to Lombe after he had toured Italy looking at silk throwing machines.
The Modern Roads
Good quality roads
Many British roads were poorly maintained and poor quality.
John McAdam would eventually develop a new road-building technique that would revolutionize road construction forever.
The Bessemer process that changed steel
World's first inexpensive process for mass production of steel from molten pig iron.
The ability to mass-produce high-quality steel and iron allowed a literal boom in the use of them in many other aspects of the revolution.
Iron and steel suddenly became essential materials and would be used to make almost everything from appliances to tools, machines, ships, buildings, and infrastructure.
The Locomotive revolution
The invention of the steam engine would eventually lead to a revolution in transportation around the globe.
Previously the industry relied on man- and animal-powered wagons and carts.
This would be the first of many railways and locomotives that would revolutionize the way business and private citizens transport their goods and themselves around.
The Power Loom
The invention of the Power Loom effectively increased the output of a worker by over a factor of 40.
