The engine 

The industrial revolution had not begun if they had not invented the engine. Steam-powered and charcoal in its early stages, the engine has evolved into the modern version that uses petroleum derivatives such as gasoline.

It was the first time we can begin to mechanize a series of productions, increasing productivity and ensuring material prosperity for the first time in history (prosperity that in the following years began to be better distributed). The Industrial Revolution was born of this invention, just like cars and airplanes.
