The new machines for spinning and weaving required power to operate. Initially, these machines were powered by waterwheels, harnessing the energy of flowing water to run the machinery. Later on, with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, steam engines became a popular source of power for these machines.
Steam engine
The new machines in spinning and weaving required power sources such as waterwheels, steam engines, or later electricity to operate efficiently and increase production capacity. These power sources enabled the machines to perform tasks such as spinning fibers or weaving fabrics at a much faster rate than manual labor.
