James Watt Research Paper

Born on November 25, 1835 in Dunfermline, Scotland to William and Margret Carnegie, Andrew’s childhood began as a simple one. His father was a weaver in Dunerfermline and, although successful, his earnings allowed his family to live a basic but comfortable life. William hoped to pass down his trade to Andrew when he came to age, so he began to expand his business in anticipation of the additional labor, but this dream was not to be.

One of the historical figures I admire the most is General William Jackson Palmer. General Palmer was born in 1836 in Delaware. He would go on to become “A civil engineer, Civil War soldier, owner and co-founder of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, philanthropist” (historycolorado.org). During the Civil War, he quickly became a young general and was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions. After relocating to Denver, his railroad success was only part of the impact he had on the Colorado frontier. He founded Colorado Springs with a Utopian vision in mind, and enforced a level of morality that was rarely seen in Colorado at that time. He would go on to establish organizations and buildings that aided the sick, supported and encouraged

James was born on December 23, 1856. He was the son of Washington and Artelia Duke. James's father Washington was a tobacco industrialist and philanthropist that fought in the Civil War and his mother Artelia was a German immigrant. James grew up on a small farm in Durham, North Carolina. During the Civil War, their farm was ravaged by the Union troops and they seized their tobacco barrels and crops.

The introduction of an a highly efficient steam engine by Thomas Watt in 1769 was undoubtedly a crucial factor in the advent of the industrial revolution. This made it possible for mills and later factories to be located nearly anywhere by eliminating the necessity of a running stream to provide power. It was the rise of the factory system of manufacture with its strategy for the specialization of labor which contributed most to the

James Wilson was born on September 14, 1742. He was born in Carskerdo, Scotland. He was the son of the respected farmer William Robert Covill Wilson (1692-1758) and Alison Landoll Wilson (1712-1792). James Wilson was the oldest of seven children. James’ dad wanted him to go to a Baptist school, but James ended up going to a Catholic school. James Wilson attended the Universities of St.Andrews, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. Though he went to all these different schools, he failed to earn a degree. James decided that he would study law. After many years of hard work and determination, James Wilson earned an honorary master’s degree. As a kid, James worked on his father’s farm. As an adult, he taught at a college for a couple of years, then started studying law. He then eventually passed the bar in Philadelphia 1767. November 1771, James Wilson married Rachel Bird. The married couple later on had 6 children together who all helped around the farm.

JJ Watt never slacks in practice according to the coaches and players. He has a mission to be the best football player ever. No matter what JJ never takes a day off even if he is hurt he will do something to improve. JJ Watt lives by dream big work hard which he shows when he plays football.JJ Watt has been playing defensive end for the Houston Texans but he has worked so hard that he has been able to play offencive tight end for his team and has even scored many touchdowns that has helped his team in many tight situations.I believe this is a man who has worked so hard for his team and it has shown

“Never be happy with just good. Every single day, you need to do something to make yourself better than everybody else. That’s the only way we’re going to improve,” said JJ Watt, a NFL player. JJ Watt is a defensive end for the Houston Texans. He is not only a very good football player, he is an amazing person. When Hurricane Harvey hit the Coast of Texas, he spent his time, money, started fundraisers and got other people to help out. This is why Kindred should invite JJ Watt to speak to our community.

Thomas Oscar Simpson was born on September 19th 1933 to Alleta Mae and George Henry. In 1954, Thomas lost his Mother. My Mother said, “My father, Aletta’s son, Thomas Simpson (Tom) reports he was first at the scene. Tom was working with his Uncle George Scott on a plow at George’s home which was across the street from the Simpson property. While working Tom and George heard a loud noise. They saw smoke and the tractors wheels in the air. They found her dead beneath the tractor. The steering wheel had crushed her chest and the gas throttle was by the side of her face.”

The most successful steam engine, built by Thomas Newcomen, was used to clean water out of the mines, which meant more coal to power more steam engines, which led James Watt to see the opportunity for improvement. Watt’s newer engine made railroads and steamboats possible. Actually almost all electricity all over the world, whether from coal or nuclear power is just a steam engine, which shows how truly revolutionary the steam engine was.

James was born on March 16, 1751, in Port Conway, Virginia to James Sr. and Nelly Madison. In his family, he was the oldest of twelve children. However, five of his siblings died as infants or in childhood.

A man by the name of James Watts introduced the first steam powered engine that would soon be used to power several forms of transportation. The steam engine had been around for a while, but wasn’t as advanced and wasn’t used on such a large scale such as powering transportation. Boats had been used for centuries for the main forms of transport, however, when Robert Fulton put the new steam engine to work to power a steamboat, it meant even more capital for businessmen. More jobs were created as the waterways were widened and dug deeper for the steamboats. Captains and crews were also formed to man the boats.

Henry James, the famous author of ‘The Turn of the Screw’ was born on April 15, 1843 to his wealthy parents Henry James and Mary Walsh. His father, also called Henry James, was an Irish immigrant and by the time his own children were born he had inherited a lot of money from his father; and at this time Henry James senior and his family were living in New York.

   The steam engine can easily be considered the single most important invention of the entire industrial revolution.  There is not one part of industry present in today's society that can be examined without coming across some type of reference or dependence upon the steam engine.  But, who deserves the credit for this great invention?  Some give the credit to James Watt while others claim that Thomas Newcomen was the original inventor.

James Watt was born 19th January 1736 at Greenock and at this time no one would have even imagined his effect on the Industrial Revolution that was to occur within that century. When James was fifteen he had read books about and become accustomed to Philosophy (similar to modern physics). He had also completed many of his own chemical experiments and even started produce and construct his own products such as a small electronic device that startled his companions.
