Cotton Gin
![Picture](/uploads/1/9/2/8/19284499/6961635.gif?395)
- The Cotton Gin is a machine that quickly and easily separates cotton
fibers from their seeds allowing for much greater productivity than manual cotton separation.
- The fibers are processed into clothing of other cotton goods,
and any undamaged seeds may be used to grow more cotton or to produce cottonseed oil and meat.
- Eli Whitney was the inventor of the Cotton Gin. He was born in Westboro, Massachusetts on December 8, 1765. And he died on January 8, 1825.
- The first modern mechanical Cotton Gin was created by an American
inventor, named Eli Whitney in 1793. The device was patented in 1794.
- The Cotton Gin could generate up to fifty pounds of cleaned cotton daily, making cotton production profitable for the southern states.
- First, the cotton balls were put into the top of the machine. Next you turn the handle, which turns the cotton through the wire teeth that combs out the seeds. Then the cotton is pulled out of the wire teeth and out of the Cotton Gin.

Water Frame
![Picture](/uploads/1/9/2/8/19284499/9842451.png?348)
The water frame was invented by Richard Arkwright in 1769.
Arkwright employed John Kay to help him construct and design
it. The invention was powered by a water mill, which was how it
got its name, the water frame. In 1771, Arkwright installed the
water frame into his mill in Cromford, Derbyshire. The purpose
of this invention was to produce stronger yarn faster and more
efficiently.
How it worked:
For each spindle, the water frame used four pairs of rollers to
draw out the fibre of the yarn. The fibre was then twisted by the
spindle to produce stronger yarn. The water frame was even
faster than the spinning Jenny.

Spinning Mule
![Picture](/uploads/1/9/2/8/19284499/5325833_orig.png)
- Invented in 1779 by Samuel Compton
- Gave the spinner great control over the weaving process
- Many different kinds of yarn could be produced
- Used to spin cotton and other fibers
- Used extensively in the 18th to the 19th century
- Carried up to 1320 spindles and could be 46m long (150 ft)
- Moved forward and back a distance of 5ft 4 times A minute
-Modern Versions are still in production used to spin woolen yarns from fibers such as cashmere
- In the drawing stroke the rowing is pulled through rollers and twisted on the return it is
wrapped onto the spindle
- A typical cotton mill has over 60 mules which would operate for 56 hours a week
- Combined the moving carriage of the spinning jenny with the rollers of the water frame
- Patented by Richard Arkwright

Power Loom

- Invented in 1785 by Edmund Cartwright
- Set up a factory in Poncaster which was forced to close
- A machine used in textiles for weaving yarn into textile
- Machine operated version of the loom run by hard.
- Combines thread / yarn to make cloths
- One of the defining machines of the industrial revolution
- Works by holding threads under tension which are attached to the side that moved up and down to create a weave
- They come with and without shuttles
- Steam powered, mechanically operated version if a regular loom that combines threads to make cloth
- It turns water into kinetic energy
- Inspired by what he had seen in a modern cotton spinning mill
- Improved the speed and quality of weaving first invented in 1785
in 1787 he improved his design
- He had no business experience so his factory was shut down
factory owners made a moderate version so he applied to the house of commons and was awarded 10,000

Flying Shuttle

- Lived from 1704-1779
- Born - June, 17, 1704
- Apprentice to the hand loom reed maker
- Flying shuttle was popular in old English textiles
-His invention was patented
- Invention greatly accelerated weaving
- July 1733 John formed a partnership with Colchester to mass
produce the flying shuttle.
- Each shuttle had had a license fee of 15 Shillings per Shuttle
- John suffered violent treat from in England so he fled to
France
- The Flying shuttle was invented in 1730 and improved in 1733
- It could be operated by one person
- John Kay died a hero to textiles. British engineers called
him “the Son of the wool industry.”
- He changed textiles forever

Spinning Jenny

History
- The spinning jenny is attributed to James Hargreaves.
- He was born in Oswaldtwistle, near Blackburn, around 1720.
- The spinning jenny could supply that demand by increasing the spinners' productivity even more.
- The machine produced coarse thread.
Components
- The idea was developed by Hargreaves as a metal frame with eight wooden spindles at one end.
- A set of eight rovings was attached to a beam on that frame.
-The rovings when extended passed through two horizontal bars of wood that could be clasped together. -These bars could be drawn along the top of the frame by the spinner's left hand thus extending the thread.
-The spinner used his right hand to rapidly turn a wheel which caused all the spindles to revolve, and the thread to be spun.
-When the bars were returned, the thread wound onto the spindle.
-A pressing wire (faller) was used to guide the threads onto the right place on the spindle.
Success
-Able to produce more yarn in shorter amount of time than before
-Causing the prize of yarn to fall
-He sold the invention for 4000 pound
-Become a regular machine in factories in 1810
