Agriculture Technologies and inventions By: Kyle Anderson
Seed Drill The Seed Drill allowed the farmers to sow seeds in well-spaced rows at specific depths. The grain distributor is between the wheels. Invented by JethroTull When his invention was used, a larger share of the seed germinated. As a result, crop yields increased even more.
Spinning Jenny The machine used eight spindles onto which the thread was spun from a corresponding set of rovings. Invented by James Hargreaves By turning a single wheel, the operator could now spin eight threads at once The thread that the machine produced was coarse and lacked strength, making it suitable only for the filling of weft, the threads woven across the warp.
Flying Shuttle Invented by John Kay The original shuttle contained a bobbin on to which the weft (weaving term for the crossways yarn) yarn was wound. By using a flying shuttle, a single weaver could produce a wide piece of cloth. Before the flying shuttle wide looms needed two or more weavers to throw the shuttle It was normally pushed from one side of the warp (weaving term for the series of yarns that extended lengthways in a loom) to the other side by hand.
Invented by Richard Arkwright Water Frame The Water Frame could produce stronger threads for yarns. The first models were powered by waterwheels so the device came to be first known as the water frame. The water frame was also the first machine that could spin cotton threads
The Mule Invented by Samuel Crompton The Mule was the moving carriage of the Spinning Jenny with the rollers of the Water Frame. The spinning mule gave the spinner great control over the weaving process.
Steam Machine Invented by James Watt His machine consisted of a closed vessel filled with water into which steam under pressure was introduced. This Forced the water upwards and out of the mine. Then A cold water sprinkler was used to make steam. This created a vacuum that sucked up more water through a bottom valve. Based On a pressure cooker.
The Affects The changes in the industry affected both the people and the factories. By making these inventions things were speed up. The employment rate went up and the population grew.
