There are many innovations that are used in everyday life, many of them are useful and often taken for granted. For instance, before vacuum cleaners were invented, to clean, people use brooms to tidy up dirt and garbage. Surprisingly, a rebellious idea was formed that influenced cleaning practices and restrained disease. The idea to invent a machine that would pull dirt and dust was created by a British inventor, Hubert Cecile Booth, known today as the vacuum cleaner.
Before the powerful vacuum cleaner, there was a manually powered machine that was operated in a very difficult way. According to the great idea finder, “The first vacuum cleaners had to be operated manually. Two persons were needed for some machines were too large, one to operate the bellows and the other to move the mouthpiece over the floor. The dust was blown into the air”. This first machine that was operated manually was created by Ives W. Mcgaffey in 1869. This device was made very difficult, society did not adore it because it was really hard for them to operate. Later on, the first powered cleaner was developed by Hubert Cecile Booth. This device was very large, it was driven by an oil engine and had to be drawn by horses because of its size.
The vacuum cleaner is a household appliance that cleans by suctioning dirt and dust. According to “how stuff works” they explained that “ Vacuum cleaners put suction to work when cleaning up the dust and wastes in your house.” The suction is created by an air pump, the vacuum creates a pressure between the inside of the machine and the outside air and dirt where
dust is taken into the lower zone of the vacuum. The rasping on the carpet causes the dust to be removed from the carpet or other surface. Vacuum cle...

...ls, etc. Some such as the Roomba are equipped with an impeller motor to create an actual vacuum. By the end of 2003 about 570,000 units were sold worldwide.” (Beals vacuum sales & service ) these developments are meant to improve on existing models and technology. Today, the vacuum cleaner has been effective in minimizing the amount of work for the domestic cleaner. It has also reduced the time and energy to clean. In other words, vacuum cleaner today has become a percieveable and essential household appliances for most domestic homes, business, and work. Today people use vacuum cleaners for many different reasons. It can be used to vacuum at home, business, work, car, or environmental purposes. In conclusion, vacuum cleaners are one of the greatest household benefits ever invented because it immensely to the world impact on Environmental and health. 760 words.

Not everyone has the time to take 30-60 minutes vacuuming their entire apartment or household, so many tend to buy what are called Roombas. Roombas are small robotic vacuums that freely roam around the room and don’t need any supervision or handling, which means you can leave for work or errands while your Roomba does all the work for you.
Technology and human innovation led to some of the greatest economic prosperity that the United States had experienced to that point. New advancements, discoveries, and inventions improved American lives in ways that were never even considered possible before this point. In addition, these new developments inspired future inventors to improve upon the ideas of the predecessors.
As the late 19th century progressed, technological ideas and inventions began to thrive. The notion that technology would impact life as we know it was an unbelievable idea to comprehend. People had no idea that something so simple such as the light bulb would become so vital to them and for century’s to come. Inventions such as, the typewriter, barbed wire, telephone, Kodak camera, and electric stove were created, however the major inventions created and use tremendously today are, Medicine, Electricity, and Transportation.
Norbert Rillieux invented the triple effect vacuum evaporator. The "triple effect" is for the multiple things that the system does all at the same time. The "vacuum" is for the vacuum of air that is used in the system, and the "evaporator" is for the sugarcane liquid syrup that is heated and evaporated into regular sugar. The actual system is somewhat complicated, so please see the picture that is provided.
John Kay, an English weaver invented the flying shuttle, a product that could cut cotton twice as fast. When other inventors saw what Kay had made, they wanted to do the same. One problem still remained. Yarn was not being fed fast enough through the weaver, but in 1769, two new inventions solved the problem. The spinning jenny and the water-powered frame, both of which fed yarn through the flying shuttle faster. Cleaning the cotton was a boring and time consuming job, so in 1793, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. The gin cleaned cotton up to 50 times faster than a human could.
Since the development of the steam engine people had been interested in creating self-powered vehicles, this manifested during the industrial revolution as the train. However, as time went on people became interested in creating a vehicle that wasn’t confined to tracks. The earliest attempts were moderately successful but served little practical purpose. Automobiles first began to truly spread with the invention of the electric motor which created cheaper, more powerful, and safer automobiles. Still the automobile still had numerous problems and were mainly in the hands of the rich. It was the development of the internal combustion engine and the assembly line that was truly able to create a practical vehicle that could be used by all and propelled the automobile into the heart of American culture and made it one of the most significant inventions of the post-industrial revolution era, resulting in a complete revolution of society.
Many inventors have left their mark on society. One inventor, in particular, is commonly found at the top of the list of the greatest inventors in world history. He has influenced and impacted many facets of our lives. His inventions laid the foundation of many industries and products which still exist today.
Firstly, I would like to discuss the beginning of technology and how it has quickly changed. From 1822, the first rotating device that used electromagnetism that was built by Peter Barlow. To then, 12 years later in May 1834, the first actual working electric motor was built by Moritz Jacobi. 4 years later, in September 1838, Jacobi then improved the first electric motor, it was now powerful enough to drive a boat across a (wide) river, filled with 14 people. Although it wasn’t until 1839/1840 that other inventors, worldwide, were able to build motors that were of a higher performance. However, it wasn’t until 1868, that the first power station was built. The power station was used to power; lights, heating, inventions that produced hot water, an elevator, life saving devices and farm buildings. It wasn’t although until 1882, that the public power station started operation. Therefore technology advances, are our friend.
Possible effects and some examples are pain in stomach, heat stroke, asthma or other allergy symptoms. So this technology is really useful for keeping our homes clean and healthy. The dehumidifier has an incredible design which solves the main issue really well; most dehumidifiers have a fan compressor, reheater, compressing cooler coils, and a reservoir. And here are how these components are broken down into three individual steps to work together and solve the issue. Firstly, a fan from a dehumidifier collects and drags air (with large amounts of moisture) into the machine. Then, as the air is being brought through, it approaches a section of the dehumidifier called the cooled coils. These coils are designed to perform the process of condensation to drag moisture away from the air that is passing through. The moisture would remain on the coils and eventually drip into the dehumidifier reservoir. Finally, the air inside the machine would be reheated and exhausted back to the room.
Willis Haviland Carrier invented the first air conditioner in 1902. This was designed to boost the working process control in a printing plant. Carrier’s invention controlled temperature and humidity. The low heat and humidity helped keep the paper dimensions and ink alignment the same. Later his invention was used to populate productivity in the workplace. The Carrier Air Conditioning Company of America developed for the increasing demands. Gradually, air conditioning was used to help increase comfort in homes and cars. Residential sales increased rapidly in the 1950's.
The history of steam engines goes back so far as the 1st century A.D. - the aeolipile - the first documented basic steam mechanism by Hero of Alexandria (Greek mathematician) and during the ensuing centuries, only some steam mechanisms recognized were fundamentally investigational mechanisms made to exhibit steam properties [Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark, 2008]. An undeveloped steam turbine apparatus was illustrated in 1551 by Taqi al-Din and Giovanni Branca in 1629. In 1679, Denis Papin invented the digester and piston in 1690 - both using steam engines. In 1698, Thomas Savery invented a water-pumped steam engine. Howeve...

The electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a machine used in factories, to clean out the waste solid particle, for example ash from the exhaust gas, allowing clean exhaust gas exit through the chimney. The electrostatic precipitator functions by using first allow the exhaust gas with the waste solid particles pass through the Nozzle as shown in the diagram below. Then the exhaust gas passes through inlet gas distribution, which evenly distributes the gas as shown below in a turquoise color, and starts going through the Discharge electrodes and the collector plates, which is shown in the diagram red and blue respectively. The discharge electrodes, which are powered by high voltage direct current, ionize the gas along with the other solid waste particles negatively. The collector plates are also charged with high voltage electricity, but it is positively charged, therefore attracting the negatively charged solid particle, because oppositely charged particles attract. This allows the clean exhaust gas pass through the other end, while the solid waste particles are trapped in the collector plates. Eventually when there are enough solid waste particles collected on the collector plates, the collect plates shakes off the collected waste, where it drops to the bottom of the shaft as shown in the diagram as “Hopper”.
It is reasonably simple to draw positive conclusions on the washing machines impact, and I will explain some of those. There has also been some negative effects and some interesting social change regarding cleanliness standards.
