Not many inventions were made in the Yuan Dynasty. Although the biggest invention made in this time era was the flamethrower in 919 AD. However, during the Yuan Dynasty, the flamethrower was improved and re-invented. The Mongols added more gunpowder and added a double pistol pump. This invention was so significant in the Yuan Dynasty, because the Mongols used this device in invasions and wars. The Mongols would use the flame-thrower from long range and take out enemies. This was an advantage for the Mongols, because it gave them a better chance to shoot from long distances and it was good for invasions. Now, flamethrowers are also used in wars. The flamethrower invented in the Yuan Dynasty influenced modern day war devices.
