Watt's motive for inventing steam machinery is not as simple as people say, that is, he saw the steam coming out of the kettle and made the lid of the kettle emit the sound of a Gedenger lamp, which touched him to invent the steam engine. After thirty years of hard research, he finally finished the invention of the steam engine.

The invention of the steam engine changed human life and world civilization. In the past, things that people used to do with labor, or machines that turned with the power of horses, oxen, waterwheels and windmills, were replaced by steam engines. With the steam engine, there is a modern mechanical civilization, so Watt is a great benefactor of modern civilization. Watt didn't invent the steam engine alone. He has a best friend named Barton, a great career man, and a loyal believer, Matek. These two men always helped him, so Watt was able to accomplish such a great invention.

James. Watt (1736 ~ 18 19) was a famous British inventor and an important figure in the first industrial revolution. 1776 made the first practical steam engine. After a series of major improvements, this steam engine has become a "universal prime Mover" and has been widely used in industry. Watt opened a new era of human energy utilization and marked the beginning of the industrial revolution. In memory of this great inventor, later generations set the unit of power as "Watt".

In fact, Watt was not the first person to invent the steam engine. 1 century, Alexandria? Hiro once designed a similar machine. 1698, Thomas? Saville obtained a patent for pumping water with a steam engine. 17 12 English Thomas? Niu Gaomen obtained a patent for a slightly improved steam engine. Niukaomen steam engine is inefficient and can only be used for coal mine drainage. 1764, watt became interested in this kind of machine when he was repairing Niukaomen steam engine.

Watt's first major innovation was the addition of an independent condensation chamber, which was patented in 1769. He also isolated the steam cylinder from the outside world and invented the double-acting engine in 1782. Together with some minor innovations, these inventions have improved the efficiency of steam engines by at least four times. 178 1 year, Watt also invented a set of gears to convert the reciprocating motion of the steam engine into rotary motion, which made the steam engine more widely used. Watt also invented centrifugal governor (1788), manometer (1790), counter, indicator, throttle valve and many other instruments that can automatically adjust the running speed of steam engines.
