Technologies in history

By : Joey Stacey and Dylan marks.

We

chose the Submarine,

Repeating Rifle and also
the Barbed Wire

Submarine
David Bushnells Turtle submerges by taking water into its tanks
and reverses the process to rise. It moves by means of a hand crank
and propeller. The Turtle is used in an attack on Lord Howes
Flagship Eagle but attempts to attach a mine to the Eagles hull fail.

Submarine

We think this is one of the most important invention through out the
late 1700s and early 1800s. It is still a invention that has been around
for over 100s of years and it is still being used today.

Submarine

The Submarine was a underwater boat that could sneak into places without
other enemy's or people knowing. The Submarine may also be found above
water so it can be like a boat to! It is now a very high tech invention
compared to the first submarine ever made which was David Bushnells oneman wooden craft, the turtle.

What Are Submarines used for?

Submarines are mainly used by the military because they are very
good for underwater attacks. They also are mainly used for finding
new things deep under the ocean. Submarines are big and shaped like
a cylinder. And a cylinder is longer than it is wide or high. It can be
easily steered underwater and it can also go deep down in the sea or
come up to the surface whenever needed.

Repeating Rifle

Tyler Henry, chief designer for Oliver Fisher Winchesters arms

company, adapts a breech-loading rifle invented by Walter B. Hunt
and creates a new lever action repeating rifle. First known as the
henry, the rifle will soon be famous as simply the Winchester.

Repeating Rifle

We think this is one of the most important inventions made in the

1800s because it was a good gun that helped out the military in
wars against other country's, In the mid 1800s.

Repeating Rifle

Due to its revolutionary design and rapid rate of fire, the Henry
quickly found popularity both with the military and civilian
purchasers. Early sales were especially brisk in Kentucky, Illinois,
Missouri and Indiana.

What Are Repeating Rifles Used For?

The Repeating Rifle is mainly used for military uses. But it can also
be used for hunting and target practice.

Barbed Wire

Lucien B. Smith of Kent, Ohio, invents the product that will close
down the open cattle ranges by closing in cattle onto individual plots
of privately owned land. I.L. Ellwood and Companys Glidden Steel
Barb Wire will dominate the market; by 1890 the open range will be
only a memory.

Barbed Wire

We think this is for sure one of the most amazing inventions

because it is stilled being used today all around the world in high
security areas and even fish plants, castles, rich houses etc.

Barbed Wire
The metal wire with spaced sharp projections usually two of them are
twisted around each other to add more strength to the sharp
projections and also it can give it the ability to expand with
temperature changes without busting open or breaking.

What Is Barbed Wire Used For?

Barbed wire can also be called barb wire which is a type of steel
fencingwire and it is constructed with really sharp, pointy edges. If
any part of your skin goes across some barb wire it will cut you open
because of its sharpness.
