The steam engine
The cotton-gin ('gin' - short for engine) It could remove the seeds from the tangle of short-staple cotton, enabling mass-production of cheap fabrics in demand all over the world.
The invention of Eli Whitney's modern cotton engine. Before his cotton gin, cotton was much more slowly produced because it was separated by hand. His cotton gin made production much faster. Cotton growing became so profitable for the planters that it greatly increased their demand for both land and slave labor.
there were many important inventions of the Industrial Revolution. The first invention was perhaps the mechanical loom. Transportation was transformed by the invention of the train. Communications advanced by the invention of the telegraph.
