Industrial Revolution Begins
Intro
The Industrial Revolution Changed WHERE and HOW people lived
TOP TEN INVENTIONS OF ALL TIME
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Chapter 5 and 6
• Industrial Revolution: A period of increased output of goods made by machines and new inventions. (It will change where an how and where people will live!)
• Where did it take place? • ENGLAND
• When? • 1750-1850
• WHY? • Because . . .
Because . . . • 1. Good resources (coal and water)
• 2. Great Britain has a great location
• 3. Great Britain has money
• 4. Great Britain has a population of workers.
• 5. Great Britain can produce enough food to sustain its population.
Inventions in the Industrial AgeTextiles
Steam Power
Steel/Iron
Electricity
Textile Industry• Textile Industry is the most
important industry in Britain in the 1700‘s.
• Most work is done at home.
• Work was usually combined with farming.
• Merchants who traveled on packhorses bought cloth from local farmers.
What led to the advancement of the British textile industry?
INVENTIONS that increased production and the creation of factories.
Why was the development of railroads important to industrialization?
They allowed factory owners to ship raw materials and products quickly over land , not just by water.
Part I: What was life like before the Industrial Revolution?
Eli Whitney Cotton Gin
• Separated the seeds from the cotton
– Previously done by hand
• Invented by Eli Whitney in 1793
Flying Shuttle
• In 1733 John Kay patented his flying shuttle.
• It dramatically increased the speed of weaving.
• It could produce a much wider cloth
Spinning Jenny
• James Hargreaves built the Spinning-Jenny in 1764.
• It used eight spindles to create eight threads at once
• Could only make thin thread
Water Frame
• Connected the water to the machinery via a wheel.
• Powered by a water wheel
• Built by Richard Arkwright
Spinning Mule
• In 1779 Samuel Crompton will combine the features of the
• Spinning Jenny and the water frame calling it the spinning mule.
Power Loom
• Edmund Cartwright invents the power loom.
• This machine was run by water.
Industrial Revolution
Part II Steam Power
• Steam power (steam engine) eventually replaced water power.
• First steam engines used to pump water from coal mines (1705)
• Later used to power textile factories
• Finally to power locomotives and ships
James Watt
• James Watt 1763 improved Newcomen’s Steam engine
– His engine could be used for turning wheels of textile machines
James Watt Steam Engine
Nuclear Model for Steam Power
Richard Trevithick•1804 Richard made an engine that was small but powerful that will lead to the invention of the first Railroad.
The Rocket: George Stevenson
• In 1829 Built the Rocket• Much faster locomotive
(30 MPH)– More powerful than 80
horses– It ran 27 miles.
Transportation• Canals- man-made
waterways used for transporting materials
– Good for heavy products (coal, iron)
– Slow, costly to build
Industrial RevolutionPart II
Result of Transportation Improvements
• Factory owners could transport raw materials quickly and cheaply
• Caused iron and steel industry to grow quickly
• Cost of products dropped
• Jobs working for railroads
• People could move more rapidly
Part III Henry Bessemer invents the Bessemer Process 1856 STEEL!
Internal Combustion Engine
Horseless Carriage• In 1769, the first self-propelled road vehicle it
was a steam-powered model.• Internal combustion engine (Nikolas Otto )
– Powered by gasoline, diesel, or kerosene
– Used by Daimler to make the first practical automobile 1886- sold in 1892 –KARL BENZ
Automobiles and Ocean Liners`
• HENRY FORD VIDEO
Henry Ford pioneered the ASSEMBLY LINE1818 first STEAM SHIP / 1870 first OCEAN LINER
1903 Wright Brothers: Wilbur and Orville Wright and the
Kitty Hawk (pg. 200)
First flight ever, this is real footage.
PART IV ELECTRICITY
THE BIG 3! GAME CHANGERS
• THOMAS EDISON: (p.199)
THE BIG 3! GAME CHANGERS
• ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL:
THE BIG 3! GAME CHANGERS
• GUGLIELMO MARCONI: (p.201)
Which invention is most important?
Problems in Factories• Working hours (12-16)• Accidents• Pollution• Unclean Food• Abuse
THE END
1. Name ONE new ideas came about as a result of the Industrial Revolution? 2. One good question about what we
learned today.
Industrial Revolution and Beyond
Factories
• First factories were powered by water (rivers)
• 1790 there were 150 water-powered cotton spinning factories in Britain.
• Later steam engine was used
Lets talk about Cotton/WoolFour Stages of Making Cloth
1. Cleaning-separating the seeds and debris from the cotton fibers
2. Carding-fibers are disentangled and laid straight (parallel)
3. Spinning-process of spinning short fibers together to make thread or yarn
4. Weaving-interlacing the thread or yarn together to make cloth
DAY 2: Intro Questions• What was the Industrial Revolution? Machines and new inventions
• Where did it happen first and why? England: Location, rivers, capital, coal, technology
• What effects did it have on life in Great Britain? It changed WHERE and HOW people lived
• What new ideas came about as a result of the Industrial Revolution? That is what we will learn today!
