 D The main quality of an inventor is his or her ability to see what others are not able to see. While most 
of us see a blue sky, some are able to see the patterns in the sky which leads them to investigate more. 
Another important quality of an inventor is his or her desire to find a solution to a problem. They 
keep abreast with the difficulties faced by human beings and focus on resolving them.
Many of the inventors we have mentioned above were not recognized by their teachers nor their peers. 
They often had eccentric personalities and maintained unusual routines. For example, Albert Einstein 
was not comfortable with the teaching methods in his school and preferred to teach himself complex 
subjects such as mathematics and algebra. He dressed eccentrically and kept an unusual hairstyle and 
was often ridiculed for his views. However, his uniqueness is what led him to change the way we 
approach the philosophy of science and brought about the groundbreaking theory of relativity.
Inventions are any new discoveries that change the way we view our world. They can occur in art, 
sciences, tools, machines, society, and even thoughts. Any process, composition, device, or method 
that expands the limits of human knowledge, creativity, experience, or capability is called an 
invention and can be brought about by any human who dares to think out of the box.

on Thomas Newcomen’s 1712 Newcomen steam engine with his Watt steam engine in 1781, which 
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 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 
aged 83.
He developed the concept of horsepower, and the SI unit of power, the watt, was named after him.
1. Watt improved 1712 Newcomen steam engine to make his own steam
engine. 
2. Watt’s .invention contributed to the Industrial Revolution in Great
Britain. 
3. He worked as a professor in the University of Glasgow before inventing
the steam engines. 
4. Watt’s steam engine consumed more energy but improved the power,
efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. 
5. Watt had no difficulties commercializing his steam engine. 
6. Watt became rich thanks to the partnership with Mathew Boulton.
7. Steam engine is considered Watt’s most significant invention. 
8. The SI unit of power was named after him because he invented it.
