James Watt with the Steam engine and the Industrial Revolution
In Britain about two hundred years ago, great changes took place in making goods and transport, which has molded the way our world works today. These changes made big differences to peopleĄŻs lives and work methods: and put together these are called the industrial Revolution.
Along with many inventors and their inventions during this time, one of the most influential characters in the Industrial Revolution is Scottish Engineer James Watt who truly introduced the Age of Steam. Watt did not invent the steam engine. But the improvements Watt made to Thomas NewcomenĄŻs atmospheric engine turned steam into the major power source of the Industrial Revolution.
Watt was born in Greenock, Scotland in 1736, the son of a merchant. ...
In 1763, Watt was asked to repair the one of the Thomas NewcomenĄŻs steam engine models that was not functioning correctly. It was while repairing a Newcomen engine that he noticed the deficiencies of the machine and had the idea for a separate condenser. He found many areas of the engineĄŻs design that he believed could be improved upon, especially the amount of energy it wasted.
