Best known for inventing the cotton gin, patent X72 dated March 1794
The cotton gin was a machine for removing seeds from cotton fibres prior to spinning. Gin is a corruption of 'engine'. Eli Whitney was granted the first patent in 1794.
Eli Whitney didn't make significant money from the cotton gin because he was unable to secure a patent that effectively protected his invention. Although he was granted a patent in 1794, it was difficult to enforce, and many manufacturers produced their own versions of the cotton gin without paying him. Additionally, Whitney's focus on producing firearms with interchangeable parts diverted his attention from capitalizing on the cotton gin's potential. Consequently, while the cotton gin revolutionized the cotton industry, Whitney's financial gains from it were minimal.
Eli Whitney did not create the first cotton gin, the first cotton gin known to man is the single roller cotton gin, which was first used around 800 A.D.
