Chapter 19 by Grade 7K The Second Industrial Revolution
Inventors • The second industrial revolution was fueled by inventors like Henry Bessemer who found a way to manufacture steel quickly and cheaply. • This opened the door for others who would forge ahead in areas such as railroads, automotive, and the oil industries. • The second industrial revolution introduced new technology and new sources of power
Henry Bessemer By Madison Keppel
His Life • Born: Jan. 19th 1813 • Birthplace:England • Died: Mar. 15th 1898 • Gender: Male • Race:White • Nationality: England
His invention • The Bessemer process: • A way to manufacture steel by blasting hot air through melted iron in order to improve the quality. • This made steel manufacturing quicker and cheaper. • This invention was made in 1855 • It used to take 1 or 2 days to turn several tons of iron ore into steel. With the Bessemer process it only took 10 to 20 minutes.
His Effect On The World • His process increased steel production • This made steel prices lower • More railroads built • This leads to industrialization • Created more jobs • Made major cities with lots of railroads grow rapidly • Increased the West population by offering settlers free tickets. • Lowered the cost, labor, and time needed for steel making.

Inventions • Cylinder Phonograph: an instrument for reproducing sounds by means of the vibration of a stylus or needle following a spiral groove on a revolving disc or cylinder • Electricity & the Light bulb: to make light to see this isn't hard people.• Kinetoscope:a device for viewing through a magnifying lens a sequence of pictures on an endless band of film moved continuously over a light source and a rapidly rotating shutter that creates an illusion of motion • Film Projectors:• Motion Pictures:
inventions • • Film Projectors: a device so you can record film kind of like a movie.• Motion Pictures: a series of pictures projected on a screen in rapid succession with objects shown in successive positions slightly changed so as to produce the optical effect of a continuous picture in which the objects move

Their Invention • Between 1899 and 1905, the Wright brothers conducted a program of experimentation that led to the first successful powered airplane in 1903. • All successful airplanes since then have incorporated the basic design elements of the 1903 Wright Flyer. • The genius of Wilbur and Orville lay not only in the singular act of getting a flying machine into the air, but also in the approach they evolved and employed to create the technology of flight.
Big Business • Advanced technology and the use of oil and electric power helped American business grow • The shape of the American economy changed • Some companies grew so large that they began to dominate entire industries • These are their stories…
