James Watt, Scottish Engineer and Inventor
Bildnummer 12654717
| Japanese print shows Watt collecting steam from a boiling kettle while his aunt rebukes him for his nonsense. James Watt (1736-1819) was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer whose improvements to the Newcomen steam engine were fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution. Watt introduced a design enhancement, the separate condenser, which avoided this waste of energy and radically improved the power, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of steam engines. Some of his inventions include the double acting engine where the piston both pushes and pulls (1782), the centrifugal governor (1788), and the pressure gauge (1790). He developed the concept of horsepower and the SI unit of power, the watt, was named after him. Hosho paper, woodcut, Japanese Department of Education, circa 1850-1900. | |
