| - James Watt (ジェームズ・ワット Jēmuzu Watto) is one of the 100 historical figure spirits who resides in the Village of Heroes.
- James Watt was a scientist the First Doctor heavily implied had a hand in developing steam power. He once used Watt as an example of how the most important discoveries could come from the tiniest details. When Ian wondered why the Doctor was so concerned about a mere lost button, the Doctor snapped that he had been with Watt when Watt noticed steam coming out of a kettle. This, the Doctor implied, led to one of Earth's "greatest discoveries". (TV: The Space Museum) In 1820s, he was expected in a scientific meeting in Killingworth sponsored by Lord Ravensworth and hosting George Stephenson, among the others. The meeting was supposedly cancelled after the plots of the Rani and the Master, thwarted by the Sixth Doctor. (PROSE: The Mark of the Rani)
- James Watt (19 January 1736 – 25 August 1819[1]) 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 Image:Cscr-featured.png
- James Watt was a Scottish inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist whose Watt steam engine, an improvement of the Newcomen steam engine, was 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 reheating 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 commercialise his invention, but experienced great financial difficulties until he entered a partnership with Matthew Boulton in 1775. 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 was as significant as his steam engine work. He died in 1819 at the age of 83. He developed the concept of horsepower, and the SI unit of power, the watt, was named after him.
- Watt was born in 1736 between a shipwright father and a distinguished (read: unemployed) mother. He was mostly home schooled by his mother, resulting in a great uninhibited affinity for what would even then be considered nerdy stuff -- mathematics. (And Scottish folklore, for whatever reason.) Tragedy struck the young Watt at 18, with the death of his mother and the declining health of his father. "There's nothing for me here now," said Watt. "I'll go to London. I'll learn the ways of making measuring instruments and become a man like my father." However, because of his lack of patience, Watt was eventually blocked from setting up his own business. Thankfully, Watt's great dexterity was recognised by the University of Glasgow, which allowed him to set up a workshop there.
