For example, textile technology lit the torch of the industrial revolution.

The industrial revolution in Britain began with the mechanization of the textile industry. British cotton textile was introduced from the Netherlands in the17th century. It was squeezed out by the traditional wool textile industry, which had a monopoly position in the domestic market, but it was fiercely competitive by India's long-standing products with high quality and low price in the international market. The cotton textile industry includes spinning and weaving.

1733, the British watchmaker Kay invented the flying shuttle, which doubled the weaving efficiency and widened the cloth surface. It leads to disharmony in textiles and a long-term "yarn shortage". Hager Rivaz, a former carpenter, invented the spindle spinning wheel, named it "Jenny Machine" after his daughter, and registered the patent in 1770. It eliminated the bottleneck of spinning and weaving and became the kindling of industrial revolution.

With more and more spindles machined by Jenny, it is more and more difficult to use manpower as power, and the hydraulic spinning machine came into being. 1769, hairdresser Akelet invented the hydraulic spinning machine, which increased the productivity by 10 times. Such a dynamic problem has aroused widespread concern.
