  1. Chapter 19 by Grade 7K The Second Industrial Revolution

  2. Inventors • The second industrial revolution was fueled by inventors like Henry Bessemer who found a way to manufacture steel quickly and cheaply. • This opened the door for others who would forge ahead in areas such as railroads, automotive, and the oil industries. • The second industrial revolution introduced new technology and new sources of power

  3. Henry Bessemer By Madison Keppel

  4. His Life • Born: Jan. 19th 1813 • Birthplace:England • Died: Mar. 15th 1898 • Gender: Male • Race:White • Nationality: England

  5. His invention • The Bessemer process: • A way to manufacture steel by blasting hot air through melted iron in order to improve the quality. • This made steel manufacturing quicker and cheaper. • This invention was made in 1855 • It used to take 1 or 2 days to turn several tons of iron ore into steel. With the Bessemer process it only took 10 to 20 minutes.

  6. His Effect On The World • His process increased steel production • This made steel prices lower • More railroads built • This leads to industrialization • Created more jobs • Made major cities with lots of railroads grow rapidly • Increased the West population by offering settlers free tickets. • Lowered the cost, labor, and time needed for steel making.

  7. Thomas Edison The man with the plan

  8. facts: • Born: February 11, 1847Milan, Ohio, U.S • Died: October 18, 1931(1931-10-18) (aged 84)West Orange, New Jersey, U.S. • He is a inventor and business man

  9. Invented the light bulb • Thomas Edison made the first ever light bulb.

  10. Inventions • Cylinder Phonograph: an instrument for reproducing sounds by means of the vibration of a stylus or needle following a spiral groove on a revolving disc or cylinder • Electricity & the Light bulb: to make light to see this isn't hard people.• Kinetoscope:a device for viewing through a magnifying lens a sequence of pictures on an endless band of film moved continuously over a light source and a rapidly rotating shutter that creates an illusion of motion • Film Projectors:• Motion Pictures:

  11. inventions • • Film Projectors: a device so you can record film kind of like a movie.• Motion Pictures: a series of pictures projected on a screen in rapid succession with objects shown in successive positions slightly changed so as to produce the optical effect of a continuous picture in which the objects move

  12. THE END

  13. Alexander Graham Bell

  14. The Telephone • He invented the telephone at age 29 in 1876. • He is the father of the telephone because invented it! • When he died in 1922, the telephone was turned off for 1 minute in his honor.

  15. The bell telephone company • The Bell System had assets of 150 million dollars. • More than 1 million employees. • Largest private business at the time.

  16. Other inventions • Twisted pair • Graphaphone • AT&T • National geographic society • Bell labs • Bell system • Oriental telephone company • Aerial experiment association founded

  17. Other Experiment • Kites • Airplanes • Tetrahedron structures • Sheep-breeding • Artificial respiration • Desalinization and water distillation • Hydrofoils

  18. The end by Mitchell Kitzmann

  19. Henry Ford By Christopher Reisinger Henry Ford is most recognizable as a industrialist that founded the ford motor industry. He was born in July of 1963 at Greenfield Township, Michigan.

  20. He also used mass production.He invented the assembly line, and used it to produce cARS.

  21. He sold millions of cars. His inventions have a long lasting mark on technology. He died April 7, 1947 in Dearborn, Michigan. He is one of the most valuable people ever.

  22. WRIGHT BROTHERS By Megan Pattee

  23. Wilbur and Orville Wright Wilbur Wright Orville Wright

  26. Wright Flyer December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the Wright Flyer became the first powered, machine to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard.

  27. Their Invention • Between 1899 and 1905, the Wright brothers conducted a program of experimentation that led to the first successful powered airplane in 1903. • All successful airplanes since then have incorporated the basic design elements of the 1903 Wright Flyer. • The genius of Wilbur and Orville lay not only in the singular act of getting a flying machine into the air, but also in the approach they evolved and employed to create the technology of flight.

  28. Big Business • Advanced technology and the use of oil and electric power helped American business grow • The shape of the American economy changed • Some companies grew so large that they began to dominate entire industries • These are their stories…
