Spinning Mill
Invented in the late 1700s
In the United States of
America
By Richard Arkwright
Medium: Wood
Not too long
after the invention of the Spinning Jenny, the Spinning Mill was created. This
Spinning Mill could make multiple spinning machines work at once. Though, when
it was first created, they couldn't find a way to get enough power to
make it work. But then Richard Arkwright had the idea to use a water wheel. The
water wheel was able to provide the power needed to run the spinning mill,
resulting in a huge increase in the textile industry.
This is a
great insight into learning because Richard Arkwright used his surroundings to
solve his problems. He found where energy could be extracted and used it to his
advantage. We can’t expect that what we can learn from will always be obvious.
We must look around us and think outside the box to learn from a large variety
of sources.
