What May be America's First Automobile was Built in 1804 by Oliver Evans who was commissioned by the Philadelphia Board of Health to build a steam engine to dredge the Schuylkill River and clean city docks. The scow he built measured 12 feet wide by 30 feet long and weighed 15 1/2 tons. He also produced a 5 horsepower engine which propelled the scow for 1 1/2 miles down Center Street before fascinated Philadelphians. Evans even wagered an onlooker $3,000 that he could build a steam-driven vehicle that would go faster than any horse. The scow's drive belt was shifted to paddle wheels and the vehicle steamed down the river against the wind, passing all sailboats.

Other Steamboats take to the Water. Fulton launched the his 150-foot paddle wheel long steamboat, the "Clermont" that traveled 150 miles up the Hudson River to Albany in 32 hours in 1807. This craft, designed by Robert Fulton, was driving by a Watt engine at a speed of five miles per hour. It is interesting to note that the first actual steamboat was invented by John Fitch which he demonstrated on the Delaware River during the 4th Quarter of the Low Physical Cycle, but the vessels lacked reliability and it would become Fulton, not Fitch, who received credit for the invention is the following 1st Quarter of a Physical High with an event that is now considered to be the launch of commercially successful steamboat navigation. In 1808 Stevens launched his 100-foot long steamboat, the "Phoenix" with a low-pressure steam engine. He made it the first sea-going steam vessel in 1809 by traveling from New York to Philadelphia.

Eli Terry and Seth Thomas of Connecticut Began the Manufacture of Clocks With Interchangeable Parts in 1807. They completed a three year contract and produced 4,000 clock movements as we reached the peak of the Physical Cycle in 1810.

The Cast-Iron Plow was invented by Jethro Wood, a farmer, in 1813 and patented the following year.

The 224-Foot Newburyport Bridge over the Merrimack River in Massachusetts became the most famous suspension bridge of 19th-century America after it was erected by John Templeman who held several patents on suspension bridge improvements. The world's first wire suspension bridge was built over the Schuylkill River near Philadelphia in 1816.

A Lathe for Making Irregularly Shaped Objects was invent 1818 Thomas Blanchard, Mass. inventor, designs a lathe for making irregularly shaped objects such as gun stocks.

The "New Light" Offered Alternative Freedom from Presbyterianism after it establishment by Barton W. Stone in 1803.

"The Rappists" Set up an Alternative Sect Community as Harmony, Pennsylvania by in 1805. They later moved and set up "New Harmony," Indiana in 1815, later sold to Robert Owens in 1824, then moved to Economy, near Pittsburg. It was a celibate authoritarian sect that declined after Rapp's death and eventually terminated in 1905. Interest in utopian communities often arises during the 4th Quarter, but unless these communities change into precedent-setting evolutions of themselves in the succeeding 1st Quarter of Foundations, they are likely to fail.

The 1st Annual Conference of "Albrights," formed their own German-Speaking Methodist Church in 1807 to split off of what they considered to be a lack of co-operation from the English-speaking Methodist Church. It was is later the named the "Evangelical Association"
