- List_of_British_innovations_and_discoveries abstract "This list includes innovations as well as inventions and discoveries that involved British people or the United Kingdom including its predecessor states. Britain, where the Industrial Revolution began in the late 1700s, has a history of innovation and discovery by scientists, engineers and manufacturers. A survey organised by EEF and conducted by YouGov in April 2014 found the "top ten" British inventions (n.b. not including 'discoveries') are the: Telephone Television Jet engine Steam engine Light bulb Electric motor Cat's eyes Bicycle ATM/cashpoint machine Hypodermic syringeThe Radio Times produced a list of "The 50 greatest British inventions" in January 2013. Another survey compiled a list of the "top British innovations".Each of the ten inventions listed above involved British people or an invention that took place in the United Kingdom including its predecessor states. Steam-powered pumps were used by a Spanish man, Jerónimo de Ayanz y Beaumont, but it was English inventor Thomas Newcomen who created the first practical steam engine for pumping water in 1712. Perhaps the first electric motors were simple electrostatic devices created by the Scottish monk Andrew Gordon in the 1740s. English scientist Michael Faraday built a homopolar motor, the first electrical motor, in 1821 at the Royal Institution in London. Later, Hungarian Ányos Jedlik made motors with commutator brushes that allowed the motor to turn more than once without being submerged in liquid.The incandescent light bulb was worked on by scores of people, British, French and American including Thomas Edison who is regarded by many (somewhat incorrectly) as being the inventor of the lightbulb. The early advancements toward a working light bulb were made by English inventor Humphry Davy, and Scottish inventor James Bowman Lindsay is credited in Challoner et al. with being the inventor of the "incandescent light bulb" in 1835. The list of bicycle inventors is long, with German Baron Karl von Drais usually being credited for the first forerunner of a bicycle, the dandy horse, similar to a modern-day balance bike. The first mechanically propelled, two-wheeled vehicle may have been built by Kirkpatrick MacMillan, a Scottish blacksmith, in 1839, although the claim is often disputed. Irishman Francis Rynd was the first to use a hollow needle for injections, nine years before the English and French physicians Alexander Wood and Charles Pravaz independently developed a medical hypodermic syringe with a needle fine enough to pierce the skin in 1853. Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell was granted a patent for the telephone in 1876 in America. He later renounced his British citizenship, thus Americans also claim the invention and Italians claim Antonio Meucci created the concept for a telephone in the 1850s.The television was developed in stages. A widely-regarded demonstration of modern electronic television was made by an American, Philo Farnsworth in 1928, but earlier contributions were made by German Paul Gottlieb Nipkow who invented components that Scotsman John Logie Baird used to give the first demonstration of mechanical television in 1924, followed by the first public demonstration in January 1926. UNESCO's Memory of the World Programme records Hungarian engineer Kálmán Tihanyi to have patented the first working fully electronic TV concept in 1926. Gas turbines were developed by Norwegian Ægidius Elling, but Englishman Frank Whittle was the first to patent a jet engine for an aircraft in 1930, followed by German Hans von Ohain six years later. Cat's eyes, used for road marking, were invented in the UK in 1933 and went on to be adopted around the world. Designs for an ATM/cashpoint were developed independently in several countries including Britain, where it was first put into commercial use in 1967.".
