WHAT IS THE 1ST INDUSTRIAL

REVOLUTION?

The 1ST Industrial
Revolution
The Age of Mechanical Production
5
 “
✘The Industrial Revolution was a fundamental change in in the way goods were
produced, from human labor to machines.
✘The more efficient means of production and subsequent higher levels of
production triggered far-reaching changes to industrialized societies.
✘Machines were invented which replaced human labor.
✘New energy sources were developed to power the new machinery – water,
steam, electricity, oil (gas, kerosene)
• Some historians place advances in atomic, solar, and wind energy at the
later stages of the Industrial Revolution.

ENGLAND, UK

 Why the Industrial Revolution Started in England?
✘ CAPITAL FOR INVESTING IN THE
MEANS OF PRODUCTION
• The Commercial
Revolution made many
English merchants very
wealthy.
• These merchants had
the capital to invest in
the factory system –
money to buy buildings,
machinery, and raw
materials
✘ WORKERS
• English people could freely
travel from the
countryside to the cities
• Enclosure Acts – caused
many small farmers to
lose their lands, and these
former farmers increased
the labor supply
✘ COLONIES AND MARKETS FOR
MANUFACTURED GOODS
• Wealth from the Commercial
Revolution spread beyond the
merchant class
• England had more colonies than
any other nation
• Its colonies gave England access
to enormous markets and vast
amounts of raw materials
• Colonies had rich textile
industries for centuries.
✘ MERCHANT MARINE
• World’s largest merchant fleet
• Merchant marine built up from
the Commercial Revolution
• Vast numbers of ships could
bring raw materials and finished
goods to and from England’s
colonies and possessions, as well
as to and from other countries
10
✘ RAW MATERIALS FOR PRODUCTION
• England itself possessed
the necessary raw
materials to create the
means of production
• Coal – vast coal reserves
powered steam engines
• Iron – basic building block
of large machines, railroad
tracks, trains, and ships
✘ GEOGRAPHY
• England is the political
center of Great Britain, an
island
• Island has excellent
harbors and ports
• Government stable
• No internal trade barriers

industrial growth
✘ DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH OF NEW SOCIO-
ECONOMIC CLASSES
○ Working class, bourgeoisie, and wealthy
industrial class

WHAT ARE THE TEN MOST

SIGNIFICANT TECHNOLOGIES
DURING THIS REVOLUTION?
14
 “
Power Technology
The major sources of power available to
industry and any other potential consumer
were animate energy and the power of wind
and water.

15
 Steam Engine
In 1712, British ironmonger Thomas
Newcomen combined the ideas of British
engineer Thomas Savery and French
physicist Denis Papin to make a steam
powered engine for lifting water from tin
mines. The engine produced a pumping
action but no rotating motion and was
expensive to run.

16
 “
Electricity
The development of electricity as a source of power preceded this
conjunction with steam power late in the 19th century. The pioneering
work had been done by an international of scientists including Benjamin
Franklin of Pennsylvania, Alessandro Volta of the University of Pavia,
Italy, and Michael Faraday of Britain. It was the latter who had
demonstrated the nature of the elusive relationship between electricity
and magnetism in 1831.

17
 The first modern
battery by Volta
In 1800, Alessandro Volta invented the
first true modern electric battery. This
was the brainchild of the development of
his voltaic pile.

18
 “
Metallurgy
The development of techniques for working with iron and
steel was one of the outstanding British achievements of
the Industrial Revolution. The essential characteristic of this
achievement was that changing the fuel of the iron and
steel industry from charcoal to coal enormously increased
the production of these metals.
19
 Bessemer Process
This was the world’s first inexpensive for
mass production of steel from molten pig
iron patented by Henry Bessemer in 1856.
It is noted for its removal of impurities
from the iron via oxidation as air is blown
through the molten metal.

20
 “
Chemicals
In Britain the growth of the textile industry brought a
sudden increase of interest in the chemical industry,
because one formidable bottleneck in the production of
textiles was the long time that was taken by natural
bleaching techniques, relying on sunlight, rain, sour milk,
and urine.

21
 Lead Chambers
In mid-18th century, John Roebuck
invented the method of mass producing
sulfuric acid in lead chambers. The acid
was used directly in bleaching, but it was
also used in the production of more
effective chlorine bleaches, and in the
manufacture of bleaching powder.

 “
Agriculture
The agricultural improvements of the 18th century had
been promoted by people whose industrial and commercial
interests made them willing to experiment with new
machines and processes to improve the productivity of
their estates.

24
 Spinning Jenny
Spinning jenny was invented in 1764 by
James Hargreaves. It is able to be
operated by unskilled workers, it was a
key development in the industrialization
of weaving, as it could spin many spindles
at a time.

25
 “
Civil Engineering
The heavy work of moving earth continued to depend
throughout this period on human labour organized by
building contractors. But the use of gunpowder, dynamite,
and steam diggers helped to reduce this dependence
toward the end of the 19th century.

26
 dynamite
Dynamite was invented by Alfred Nobel in the 1860s. Prior to its
invention, gunpowder (called black powder) had been used to shatter
rocks and fortifications. Dynamite, however, proved stronger and
safer, quickly gaining widespread use.

27
 “
Transport and Communication
Transport and communication provide an example of a
revolution within the Industrial Revolution transformed in
the period 1750-1900.

28
 Steam Locomotive
First was the evolution of the railroad: the
combination of the steam locomotive
and a permanent travel way of metal
rails.

29
 “
Printing and photography
Another important process that was to make a vital
contribution to modern printing was discovered and
developed in the 19th century: photography.

30
Camera Obscura: The
first photograph
Joseph Nicéhore Niépce
constructed his first camera in
1816. In 1827, he successfully
produced the first image.

31
 “
Telegraphs and telephones
The first electric telegraph, invented or at least made into a
practical proposition for use on the developing British
railway system by two British inventors, Sir William Cooke
and Sir Charles Wheatstone, who collaborated on the work
and took out a joint patent in 1837.

32
 Telegraph

In 1836, Samuel Morse, Leonard

Gale and Alfred Vail made the
single wire telegraph. The
machine worked by transmitting
electrical signals over a wire laid
between stations.

33
 FACTORY

In 1721, the first factory was

opened by John Lombe in Derby. It
used water power to help the
factory mass produce silk
products.

WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT

CONTRIBUTION OF
THIS REVOLUTION?
35
 “
The industrial revolution was a period that brought change
in social and technological. The industrial revolution began
in late 18th and 19th centuries. It was a period of significant
economic development marked by introduction of power-
driven, machinery. The impact of revolution brought
advancement and development. During the industrial
revolution many power driven machines were invented to
replaced hand tools.
