Answer:
James Hargreaves: He invented the spinning jenny in 1765. The machine spun cotton into thread. It used 6-24 spindles, depending on the model. He named the device after his wife, Jenny!
James Watt: In 1763, while tinkering with an old Newcomen engine, he improved it and developed an efficient, reliable steam engine. This gave industry a cheap supply of energy. He declared, "Steam is an Englishman." Only the English had this technology for about 50 years, giving England a huge head start on industrialization.
Tomas Savery: He invented the Steam engine
Robert Fulton: He invented the Clermont, the first steamboat, in 1807. Before the steamboat, barges were pushed up river by poles at a whopping 1-mile per hour!
George Stephenson: He built the first practical steam locomotive in 1825. It was named the Rocket, and whipped down the tracks at an astonishing 16 miles per hour! The Liverpool and Manchester Railway was then built - the first railroad in the world (the Baltimore and Ohio was built in 1830 in the US). Within 20 years, locomotives could reach 50 mph.
