Timeline
300BC- Cloth Tents; the first temporary shelter to ever exist. Used by the Roman Military as a form of shelter when at war.
1597- The first Pre-fabricated homes were built. They were reportedly invented by Akbar of India, and they were the start of the temporary shelter movement.
1627- Francis Bacon experimented with filtration and desalination; and without his work, portable shelters would not be functional.
1601-1700- Steel was in industrial production by this time, and became one of the primary structural building materials in modern day architecture.
1700- The first commercial Pop-Up Shop was actually a kitchen in France, which started the mass trend around the world today.
1769- Without the invention of trucks, portable shelter transportation would not have been possible
1895- The battery became a vital invention for the operation of thousands of tools, and is still used today to power many tools and appliances found in temporary shelters.
1831- The generator was

His vision was centralized around maximizing efficiency, after seeing the failed attempts that the US government was having with the FEMA trailer housing initiative. His newly innovated housing solution is known as EXO, and it has received lots of positive feedback, and sponsoring by many government, and non-government bodies. The modules are fully secured, they can be weighed down with water, which can be placed in the tank beneath the modules; and they have the ability to be fully powered with an electronic lock, lights and temperature regulation through ductwork connections. These modules respond directly to the needs of practically all disaster recovery situations, and their ability to quickly shelter people on a mass scale has proven that they are the most efficient temporary sheltering solution for disaster recovery to
New Tech: steel rails that were stronger than iron, Westinghouse air brakes, Pullman Palace Cars which were the premiere cars that had telegraphs and block signals
The steamboat was an invention that reduced manual labor aboard ships by a large extent, and were also faster than the previous sail ships. Not only were these good at transporting goods, they could also transport people via river and ocean quite effectively. Larger versions were produced for trans-oceanic voyages. The transcontinental railroad did the same thing, but faster, and on land. The refrigerator car was especially useful because you could pack meat in Chicago, and send it to California without it spoiling. This quick transportation of goods quickly renovated
Some of the inventions were: Flying Shuttle invented by John Kay and it increased speed of weaving, Spinning Jenny invented by James Hargreaves and it spun 8-10 threads at a time, Water Frame invented by Richard Arkwright and it was a large spinning machine driven by water in factories, Power Loom invented by Edward Cartwright and it was water powered; automatically wove thread into cotton, Cotton Gin invented by Eli Whitney and it separated seeds from raw cotton. (doc 6). Some other inventions helped in agriculture those inventions are: horse-drawn seed drill invented by Jethro and it planted seeds in a straight rows, Stock breeding invented by Robert Blakewell and it improved quality of animals to produce more meat, milk, and wool, Mechanical Reaper invented Cyrus McCormick and it made grain harvesting easier (doc 7). These inventions helped produce more resources and do it faster than before they were
There were many new inventions in transportation and communication. The biggest innovations that changed life in the United States between 1776 and 1870s was electricity, the railroads and
The correct place to set up the fort is also a key factor. You’ll want to pick a spot with at least three walls or doors. If there’s not any room for the blanket to hold up, it won’t stay. Do not pick somewhere with only one wall, because the “chair method” won’t cut it anymore. The chairs make for no room to spread out and be comfortable. The perfect spot may take a little while to curate, but it’ll work out.
One way they were used to have innovation in transportation was the creation of the railroad. This enabled trains to pull much more freight across longer distance in a way shorter amount of time then a horse and buggy. Another way the modern revolution created innovation in transportation was the internal combustion engines being able to power cars, trucks, and busses for
During the Antebellum era there were a large number of advancements in transportation technology, such as railroads being placed all over the United States. There was also the building of numerous bridges and canals, and the development of the steamboat. During the pre-civil war period there was a huge expansion of railroads all over the country According to the web site quizlet, “From 1833 to 1850 the amount of railroad tracks increased from 136 miles to 9,000 miles” (http://quizlet.com). The first steam engine was built in 1804 by Richard Trevithick. The steam engine that was most commonly used on rail ways was that built by George Stephenson. According to Mary Bellis the author of The History of Railroad Innovations, “Stephenson's locomotive pulled six loaded coal cars and 21 passenger cars with 450 passengers over 9 miles in about one hour” (http://inventors.about.com). The growth of railroad use was a huge advancement in technology, because it helped transport people and goods to
Shelter has always been a necessity for mankind. We, as humans, have a relationship with the land that we must respect to live happily amongst it. Spaning back as far as the pre-Colonial Australia, indigenous Australians understood this connection excellently. Their shelters seemed to ‘bend with the land’ as they understood crucial elements within the architecture to compensate for distinctive climate and cultural factors to fit their nomadic lifestyle. Their living style was very minimalistic yet practical. The indigenous Australians only built what they needed to survive. For evidence of this, we will be looking at the text; ‘Gunyah, Goondie and Wurley: the
The large number of practical and useful inventions brought forward during the time leading up to and including the period known as the Industrial Revolution had a significant impact on both American society and the world. The transition that took place resulted in reliance on mechanical sources of power/energy rather than the traditional human or animal sources to produce the products needed (Hackett, 1992). One of
The fourth important invention was trains and railroads. Much like steamboats, railroads made transportation much easier. Soon after the first railroad appeared in the United States in 1828, miles and miles of railing covered American soil. Able to go almost anywhere, even through the Allegheny Mountains, trains ignored any rocky terrain or bad weather. Railroads were a very important invention because it literally bound American together with braces of iron. It became easy to ship goods from state to state, North to South, or South to West. Each region became more dependent and closely tied with the others.
Because of this invention it allowed people to invent new automobiles, which could travel at new paces thanks to the new better quality vehicles. Which were able to deal with the demand coming from the
One of the wheels that fueled the industrial revolution was the water wheel. Before the industrial revolution, manufacturing ran predominantly from human and animals. The evolved version of the wheel provided a better way to increase manufacturing, business, and industrialization. ("Water and Steam Power Industrial Revolution." Industrial Revolution. CB Media, 2010. Web.) The idea of fuel and energy from wheels inspired people to create another revolutionary invention that transformed our world. The invention of the steam engine. Which eventually led towards the creation of train. At around the same time period, one of the world’s widely recognized vehicle has been invented because of the wheels. The bicycle. The bicycle led the way to evolved transportation. The next vehicle that came was the motorbike. After that, our widely recognized four wheeled vehicle was created. Soon after, the airplane was invented which provided a technological Pangaea for
Exceptionally, where operating facilities exist for push-pulloperation, the train engine may be attached to the rear of the train; pilot engine, a locomotive attached in front of the train engine. It was widely known that before the end of the 19th century, the locomotive changed the face of America as it furthet pushed the civilization in the country. Several years later, the telegraph revolutionized things and made an impact in a big way. The transfer of information gained a speed that had been unimaginable before the telegraph. It made communication a lot easier by means of speed. The telegraph was developed independently in the United States in 1837 with Sir Thomas Edison as one of the biggest contributor. Our next invention is the rifle. It was in the mid of the nineteenth century that the firearms provided a cutting edge to the technology of that era. The rifle heavily contributed in the war as it was used as one of the main weapons by then. The idea of the rifle was from the British Army during the Napoleonic wars in the 19th century as they seek for a stronger bullet to fire in their opponents. In 1837, the development for a new device was made by Charles Babbage. This device was conceptualize by Babbage from the early beginnings of computing machines such as the abacus by the chinese. It’s called the computer. In
Another great invention of transportation during this time was the train. America’s first train was invented by George Stephenson in 1822, and by 1825 the train was the first locomotive. Obviously everything at this time was made by hand, and every part of this engine had to be hammered into shape just like a horseshoe. John Thorswall, a coalmine blacksmith, was George’s assistant. The invention of George was very important in America because it allowed transportation from place to place in a quicker time. This boosted the economy by helping distribute many goods all around the country. Even letters were being delivered faster, so communication was increasing.
