Watts it all about!?!

Hiya darlings!! How's the week going so far?? Good, I hope. Well, I've trying to catch up with my photo editing, but I stumbled upon these that I took before I went on a break for the week. Which is good, as it gave me something to post instead of nothing, haha! This building here was built on the birthplace spot of the famous inventor and mechanical engineer, James Watt, quite interesting to see really. I love discovering new things. Hope you enjoy & wish you a wonderful day!!

Love loves to you all!



{James Watt, FRS, FRSE (19 January 1736 – 25 August 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 in both his native Great Britain and the rest of the world.
While working as an instrument maker at the University of Glasgow, Watt became interested in the technology of steam engines. He realised that contemporary engine designs wasted a great deal of energy by repeatedly cooling and re-heating the cylinder. 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. Eventually he adapted his engine to produce rotary motion, greatly broadening its use beyond pumping water.
Watt attempted to commercialize his invention, but experienced great financial difficulties until 1775 he entered a partnership with Matthew Boulton. The new firm of Boulton and Watt was eventually highly successful and Watt became a wealthy man. In his retirement, Watt continued to develop new inventions though none were as significant as his steam engine work. He died in 1819 at the age of 83. Watt has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history.
He developed the concept of horsepower and the SI unit of power, the watt (light bulb), was named after him.}
