This invention was later improved upon and by Josphe Pope in the 1820s that gained popularity in the US. Later by the 1830s two American inventors, John Avery and Hiram Abial Pitts, who in 1837 received a United States patent #542 for a machine that automatically threshes and separates grain from chaff.]]> 2023-08-31 18:24:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hbeverly1/11ixbih4uk3r1rxq/wish/2680181592 hbeverly1 https://padlet.com/hbeverly1/11ixbih4uk3r1rxq/wish/2680182793 Meikle's machine consisted of strong drum with fixed beaters that beat rather than rubbed the grain.]]> 2023-08-31 18:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/hbeverly1/11ixbih4uk3r1rxq/wish/2680182793 references hbeverly1 https://padlet.com/hbeverly1/11ixbih4uk3r1rxq/wish/2680204592 Britannica, T.

In his research of physical chemistry of flames, combustion, electrochemistry led to his third research theme in the form of a growing interest in the thermodynamics of gas reactions. Where he began realizing the potential of synthesizing ammonia gas from nitrogen and hydrogen gas for nitrogen fixation around 1904.]]> 2023-08-31 18:55:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hbeverly1/11ixbih4uk3r1rxq/wish/2680221220 Carl Bosch hbeverly1 https://padlet.com/hbeverly1/11ixbih4uk3r1rxq/wish/2687538608  Although he received his doctorate in 1898 for research in organic chemistry his interests were in metallurgist and engineering.

He was also an inventor. Among other inventions, in 1889 he made what was the first model design for the tower silo, a cylindrical darn. Proving that these silos can reduce spoilage. Although, there are earlier recordings with the claim such as with Fred Hatch in 1873. ]]> 2023-09-06 22:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hbeverly1/11ixbih4uk3r1rxq/wish/2687562335 References hbeverly1 https://padlet.com/hbeverly1/11ixbih4uk3r1rxq/wish/2687565272
