A-Z Book of Inventions from the Industrial Revolution By: Al Yolles Automated sugar refining Automated sugar refining was created by Norbert Rillieux. Rilliex created sugar as we know it today. He created a safer and much more efficient way of processing sugar in 1843. Battery The battery was invented by Alessandro Volta. It was made of multiple zinc and silver plates stacked on each other‚ with a wire connected to both ends of the pile. With the wire touching both ends‚ this creates electricity

for a) an aircraft jet engine; and b) a land-based gas turbine The name "gas turbine" is somewhat misleading‚ because too many it implies a turbine engine that uses gas as its fuel. Actually a gas turbine (as shown schematically in Fig. 1) has a compressor to draw in and compress gas (most usually air); a combustor (or burner) to add fuel to heat the compressed air; and a turbine to extract power from the hot air flow. The gas turbine is an internal combustion (IC) engine employing a continuous

With the rate that technology has advanced in the prior 100 years‚ the possibilities for development of new aircraft powerplants are unlimited. One of the most recent milestones in aircraft powerplant design is General Electric’s GE90-115B‚ which is rumored to be one of the most popular‚ most fuel-efficient‚ most powerful‚ and one of the quietest engines that have been built to date (Eisenstein

Steam Engines A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid. Using boiling water to produce motion goes back about 2000 years‚ but early devices were not practical. Since the late 1700’s steam engines have become a major source of mechanical power. The first steam-powered devices were used to pump water out of mines. In 1781‚ James Watt patented a steam engine that produced continuous rotative motion. These engines enabled a wide range of

This new engine was smaller and more economic to produce then it’s low pressure cousin without losing power or efficiency. Steam engines brought more facets of fortune to America.

mining and engineering from a young age. The son of a mining captain‚ he performed poorly in school‚ but went on to be an early pioneer in steam-powered rail. His most significant contribution was to the development of the first high pressure steam engine; he also built the first full-scale working railway steam locomotive. On 21 February 1804 the world’s first locomotive-hauled railway journey took place as Trevithick’s unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway of the Penydarren Ironworks
