In fact, families themselves used to make most of the products they needed. They grew their own food, built their own homes, made their own clothes, tools and other necessities in order to survive. They grew their own food, built their own homes, made their own clothes, tools and other necessities in order to survive. This left very little “free time” because they had to work from sun-up to sun down just to survive. Life was hard.

10. What Started the Industrial Revolution? James Watt 1769 In England Why was that a “Big Deal”?

11. Before the Steam Engine The Sources of Power Were: Man/Woman Man/Woman Animal Animal Water Water Fire Fire Wind Wind

19. Mass Production & Interchangeable Parts American inventor, pioneer, mechanical engineer, and manufacturer, Eli Whitney is best remembered as the inventor of the cotton gin. American inventor, pioneer, mechanical engineer, and manufacturer, Eli Whitney is best remembered as the inventor of the cotton gin. He also affected the industrial development of the United States when, in manufacturing muskets for the government, he translated the concept of interchangeable parts into a manufacturing system, giving birth to the American mass-production concept.

20. “Necessity is the Mother of Invention.” The newly formed U.S. government needed muskets for the army to fight the English. The newly formed U.S. government needed muskets for the army to fight the English. As they do today, a call was made for bids from businesses that could make the weapons. No Gunsmith could manufacture the 10,000 muskets in the time the government needed them, and the cost was going too be high. As they do today, a call was made for bids from businesses that could make the weapons. No Gunsmith could manufacture the 10,000 muskets in the time the government needed them, and the cost was going too be high. Eli Whitney claimed that he could make 10,000 in one year and at a fraction of the cost. To prove his point he brought the parts of a gun to Washington and had the president assemble them. He got the contract on the spot. Eli Whitney claimed that he could make 10,000 in one year and at a fraction of the cost.

29. Think About It…. Ford was beaten to the market by R.E. Olds because he was working on an engine that ran on a different fuel than gasoline. Olds patented the first engine that used gasoline in 1897, the Curved Dash Oldsmobile. Ford was beaten to the market by R.E. Olds because he was working on an engine that ran on a different fuel than gasoline. Olds patented the first engine that used gasoline in 1897, the Curved Dash Oldsmobile. Ford gave up on his engine, converted to the gasoline engine in 1908 and in a short time out-produced Olds taking the lead in U.S. car manufacturing.

30. What Fuel did Ford call “The Fuel of the Future”? ALCOHOL (Ethyl Alcohol - Ethanol) ALCOHOL (Ethyl Alcohol - Ethanol) Made from vegetables like corn or potatoes or fruit. Renewable, burns clean, extinguishes with water. Made from vegetables like corn or potatoes or fruit. Renewable, burns clean, extinguishes with water. There are cars that run on alcohol today.

31. So why don’t all cars use alcohol? Even at $2.00 a gallon, Gasoline is much cheaper. Even at $2.00 a gallon, Gasoline is much cheaper. IT COSTS MORE! (At least for now) Due to how little is manufactured compared to gasoline. IT COSTS MORE! (At least for now) Due to how little is manufactured compared to gasoline.

32. If you could go back in time and stop Olds long enough for Ford to finish an alcohol engine what would be different today?… The Environment The Environment The Economy The Economy The World The World YOU HAVE THE SAME POWER!!
