Watt's Steam Engine

James Watt was a Scottish inventor and mechanical engineer whose improvements to the steam engine were fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both the Kingdom of Great Britain and the world.

While working 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. Watt introduced a design improvement, the separate condenser, which avoided this waste of energy and radically improved the power, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of steam engines. He developed the concept of horsepower(the name of several units of measurement of power. The most common definitions equal between 735.5 and 750 watts ).

Watt attempted to commercialise his invention, but he failed, until 1775 when he entered into a partnership with Matthew Boulton. The new firm of Boulton and Watt was eventually highly successful and Watt became a wealthy man. In 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.

The Watt steam engine was the first type of steam engine to make use of steam at a pressure just above atmospheric to drive the piston helped by a partial vacuum.

Watt’s steam engine, developed sporadically from 1763 to 1775, offering a dramatic increase in fuel efficiency. The new design replaced Newcomen engines in areas where coal was expensive,and then went on to be used in the place of most natural power sources such as wind and water.

In 1765 Watt conceived the idea of a separate condensation chamber. Watt's idea was to equip the engine with a second, small cylinder, connected to the main one. In Watt's design, the cold water was injected only into the condensation chamber. The condenser remained cold and under less than atmospheric pressure than the cylinder, while the cylinder remained hot. When the piston, propelled (propulsar) by steam, reached the top of the cylinder, the steam inlet (entrada) valve closed and the valve controlling the passage to the condenser opened.External atmospheric pressure pushed the piston towards the condenser.

Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London, England, over the River Thames. It is close to the Tower of London, which gives it its name. It has become an iconic symbol of London.


The bridge consist of:

• Two towers which are tied together at the upper level. 
• Two walkways are designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended section of the bridge on the landward sides of the towers. 
• The vertical component of the forces in the suspended section and the vertical reactions of the two walkways are carried by the two robust towers. 
• The bascule pivots and operating machinery are housed in the base of each tower. 
• The bridge’s total length is 244 metres and the longest span is 61 metres. 

The bridge’s present colour dates from 1977 when it was painted red, white and blue for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Originally it was painted a chocolate brown colour.

It was started in 1886 and took eight years with five major contractors: 

• Sir John Jackson 
• Baron Armstrong 
• Sir H.H. Bartlett 
• Sir William Arrol & Co 

They employed 432 construction workers.

The bridge was officially opened on 30 June 1894 by: 

• The Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VII) 
• The Princess of Wales (Alexandra of Denmark).

Candem Town

Is an inner city district in northwest London.The Regent's Canal runs through the north of 

Camden Town.

The name was applied to the early 20th century Camden Town Group of artists and the London borough of Camden, created in 1965.

Actors such as Johnny Depp and the singer of Aerosmith,  Steve Tyler, have houses in this exotic neighborhood.

Camden town is a place in which you can find many different cultures such as Punks, Goths and many others.

Camden Town has one of the biggest and varying markets in all of London.

In February of 2008 a huge fire burned the stables of Camden Town and a few other buildings.

Fortunately there where no injured people.
