Dynamite During The Industrial Revolution

~ In 1650, Von Guericke created the first powerful air machine. With such a machine, Robert Boyle had the capacity to experiment pressure and decompression of creatures.

-Richard Trevithick turns a steam engine into a steam locomotive. -Humphry Davy made electrical lighting. -Alessandro Volta invented the first battery.

Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese people around 700 A.D. Its invention would start a revolutionary change for military weapons around the world and would become the starting point for today’s weapons. The Chinese did not know it at the time, but they had just made a big step forward for the world in military technology. They first used gunpowder for fireworks rather than using it to become a powerful military force. If the Chinese had used gunpowder for making weapons instead of fireworks upon first discovering it in 700 A.D., they would have had a great advantage over most other civilizations and could easily have become a military superpower.

In August of 1861, William F. Ketchum patented the Ketchum Hand Grenade. Shortly after, in the years of 1863 and 1864, the grenade was implemented in the American Civil War.

The big project that the nazis did was called the “Uranium Project”. It was ran by two German scientist named Otto Hahn, and Fritz Strassmann. They were mixing two chemicals called uranium and neutrons. The outcome of mixing the two chemicals was brainium. It is half the size of uranium but a dedler one. Another person that led the uranium project was army physicist Kurt Diebner. He helped find out that if you slow down and control the explosive it will explode bigger. Chemist Gerhard Schrader was believed to be the first to create a nerve gas. He is also known as “Father of the nerve agent.” He was the man who created the gas called tuban which was used in gas

In 1842 joseph dart invented the grain elevator. In 1845 Robert william invented the first vulcanized rubber pneumatic tire. In 1849 walter hunt invented the safety pin.

Robert Fulton was an engineer and inventor who is credited with the first practical submarine. Another inventor was Humphry Davy who was chemist and inventor; he is best known for his discoveries of several alkali. Frederick Albert Winzer was one of the pioneers of gas lighting, he is also credited with the metronome. Richard Trevithick was an inventor who was credited with the locomotive.

One of the first explosive vapour detectors was invented by Canadian scientist Lorne Elias in 1985. In 1970 Elias headed a research group to create device to sniff the dangerous vapours. Lorne worked in collaboration with Transport Canada; he was hired to start testing existing commercial bomb-detection devices. He soon realized that his techniques were much more effective than those devices he was testing. Soon after, he developed a made-in- Canada portable bomb sniffer, the Explosive Vapor Detector.

The goal was to stop war with explosions. This discovery is what changed war. With the help of Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer was discovered that by splitting the atom, they could create their bomb. They feared that Hitler and Germany would

Raytheon invented the Magnetron, which gave off warmth. Many people did not find a use for the Magnetron until Spencer by accident. The Magnetron was on one day at Spencer's job and Spencer was near it, then suddenly Spencer noticed that the chocolate bar in his pocket had liquified. He then had an idea then he asked for popcorn kernels. He put the kernels in his hand near the Magnetron. Minutes after, Spencer held the discovery of the microwave popcorn in his hands, and what would be later made into the microwave.

In order for railroads, trains and clear paths they needed something to help them get there. In 1860 Alfred Nobel invented dynamite. The need for dynamite was for mining and for safer ways to blast holes in mountains or rather than simply lighting black powder. Also to clear paths, to build roads and railroads Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer and innovator and an armanent manufacturer. Dynamite is nitroglycerin with sillicia, which would turn the liquid into a malleable paste which is dynamite. One advantage of dynamite over nitroglycerin is that it could be cylinder shaped for the inserim into the drilling holes used for

Gunpowder was invented by Chinese alchemists in the 9th century. At first it was made by mixing sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter, which is potassium nitrate. The charcoal normally came from willow trees, but other plants were used as well.

Gunpowder was first invented in ancient China. The Chinese accidentally invented gunpowder while trying to make an elixir for immortality. Unknown by the Chinese at the time, this accident would make major history. The Chinese mixed charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter to create gunpowder. After this accident, the Chinese used gunpowder to launch fireworks and other non-lethal objects. This accidental invention helped the Chinese because before the invention they just tried to outsmart the

On September 16, 1920, an explosion tore through the streets of Lower Manhattan’s “Corner”. The Wall Street Bombing of 1920 was the deadliest terror attack on American soil until the Oklahoma bombing 75 years later. The blast killed 38 people and injured hundreds of

America has been expanding and growing since its birth out of Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution has been an influence in the American life since it first in the 1700s. “Most families did not have enough to sell at the market- they had just enough for their own needs.” Up until the factories started booming and employment rates skyrocketed, people really couldn’t become wealthy and live a decent life. As the ways of farming grew the English at the time began to use up more and more land efficiently. “Unusable swamplands could be drained and used for crops.” That’s absolutely amazing that in this era they could turn swamps into areas to raise more crops so they can naturally make more money at the markets and become a bit wealthier. Farming is one of the most important lively hoods of mankind; no matter what argument anyone tries to make. If we didn’t have farming and agricultural production we wouldn’t have all the different sorts of food products we do, nor would they be as abundant. Life would be like it was before the Industrial Revolution came about and most of us would still be growing our own food and barely scraping by in life. With all this agricultural expansion of the time population in England start expanding drastically as well. Thanks to population growth people started to worry more about new inventions and producing stuff for us to make our day to day lives easier than we could have ever before. With all the technological advancements leading up to
