Edwin L. Drake Used steam engine to drill oil
(Pennsylvania) Removing oil from earth surface became
practical
Henry Bessermer
Discover cheaper and quicker way to make steel
Bessemer Process Air boiling produce strong and
durable steel lighter, more flexible, stronger, rust
resistance
Bessemer Process
Raw MaterialsExample: Iron Ore
MeltingHot air is pumped into
a furnace, melting iron at
RefiningImpurities are
removed
CastingLiquid steel
cast into billets and slabs
RollingBillets and slabs Rolled into finish
product
Discover cheaper and quicker way to make steel
Bessemer Process Air boiling produce
strong and durable steel lighter, more flexible,
stronger, rust resistance
Thomas Alva Edison
Perfected the first incandescent light bulb
establish the first research laboratory (Menlo Park)
“Genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration”
