  2. Sec. 2Why Britain Natural Resources Human Resources New Technology

  3. Britain Natural Resources- Britain had large supplies of coal to power steam engines. It also had plentiful iron to build new machines. Human Resources-The agricultural revolution of 1600s and 1700s freed many men and women in Britain from farm labor. New Technology- mechanics were eager to meet the growing demand for practical inventions. Technology was important part but not what caused the revolution.

  4. Inventions Improved steam engine-(James Watts) provided power for early industrial revolution Spinning Mule-(Samuel Crompton)-spinning device that made it possible to spin many threads at one time. Steam powered locomotive-(George Stephenson) The “iron horse” moved faster and could haul heavier loads than a horse could. Dynamo-(Michael Faraday) Electric generator that created a electric current to make energy.

  5. Age of Iron and Coal Iron was needed for machines and steam engines. Producing Iron meant you needed a lot of fuel. So, the British turned to coal for fuel. Darby family of coalbrookdale were leaders in developing Britain’s iron industry. Abraham Darby began to use coal instead of wood for smelting iron. This led to producing better quality and cheaper iron. His son and grandsons improved his methods inventing the worlds first cast iron bridge. Iron was used eventually to build railroads.

  6. Major inventions John Kay’s flying shuttle- weavers worked so fast that they soon outpaced spinners. James Hargreaves solved the problem by producing the spinning jenny in 1764 which spun many threads at the same time. Richard Arkwright invented the water frame, using water power to speed up spinning still further.

  7. First Factories Machines were to big to be put in homes. So, instead manufactures built long sheds near rapidly moving streams, which provided water to run the machines. Later, machines were powered by steam engines. Factories- places that brought together workers and machines to produce large quantities of goods.

  8. Transportation Turnpikes were privately built roads that charged a fee to travelers who used them. On land- Steam locomotive It was this invention that made possible the growth of railroads. George Stephenson developed steam powered locomotives to pull carriages along rails. By 1870 rail lines crisscrossed Britain, Europe, and eastern North America. On Sea- Scottish builders made the first paddle wheel steamboats to pull barges across canals. Robert Fulton used watt steam engine to power the Clermont up the Hudson River in record time.
