What best describes James Watts' contribution to the Industrial Revolution?
Answer this question… He adapted the steam engine for use many different industrial uses.
Who were the first pioneers of the industrial revolution?
Inventors developing the textile industry, such as John Kay and Richard Arkwright. Looms and other machinery then were water-powered. The great canal-builders of the late 18C - vastly improving commercial transport. Engineers who realised the possibility of steam power, initially only to pump water from metalliferous mines: Newcomen. Then James Watt, who realised the principles by which the first crude machines could be made much more efficient, and as Matthew Boulton's business partner, developed the steam engine into commercially-viable prime movers for factory machinery generally. The SI unit of power (1 Joule/second) is the Watt, after him. Cugnot, in Paris, built the first engine-drive (steam) road vehicle, based on a gun-carriage, but his quest ended in a crash that wrecked both carriage and career. Trevithick invented the steam railway locomotive, later developed by the Stephensons, mainly on the railways which at the time were horse-drawn mineral tramways serving mines and collieries.
What are benefits of constructing canals?
In the UK, coal mine owners built canals to take the coal to the factories springing up due to the Industrial Revolution. The arrival of the steam engine to drive the machinery (cotton spinning and cloth weaving) meant that factories no longer had to be built near running water to drive a water wheel. The canals also carried finished goods from the mills to the markets, or seaports for shipping abroad, all on barges, as the roads were very bad.
What is the Victorian punishment walking the treadmill?
A treadmill is a big wheel (like a hamster wheel) that prisoners turned by walking inside it. The power from the wheel was used to drive machinery in a factory (a mill).
What year was James Watt's steam engine invented?
Steam engine was invented by Newcomen in early 1750. A Steam engine was built by James Watt in 1774. James Watt realised why existing engines to the Newcomen design were so desperately inefficient, and developed an important modification that greatly improved them. He and others also developed what hitherto had been a rather crude, purely reciprocating engine that could drive the mine-drainage pumps of the time but little else, into a reliable prime-mover whose rotary output could drive many other types of machine via pulleys and belts. ' Watt also invented the Horsepower to measure engines' abilities, using equine power as a comparison of the day, and the modern SI unit of power (rate of energy conversion, where 1W = 1 Joule / second) is the Watt, named in his honour. 1hp = 33000 ft/lbs/min = 746W. For many practical conversions, e.g. comparing car specifications, taking 1HP = 750W is near enough.
Who developed a stem engine that could drive machinery?
Tom Thumb

How is steam created in a steam engine?
Steam is created in a steam engine by heating water in a boiler until it turns into steam. The steam then builds up pressure, which is used to power the engine and drive machinery.
What is the relationship between the steam engine torque and its efficiency in powering machinery?
The relationship between steam engine torque and efficiency in powering machinery is that higher torque can lead to increased efficiency. Torque is the rotational force produced by the steam engine, and a higher torque can allow the engine to generate more power to drive machinery. This increased power output can result in better efficiency in terms of getting more work done with less energy input.

How was the Lowell system similar to slater's system?
Both the Lowell system and Slater's system were forms of early textile mill operations in the United States during the Industrial Revolution. They were both based on the concept of using waterpower to drive textile machinery and employed young women and children as factory workers. Additionally, both systems contributed to the growth of industrialization in the United States.
Things you should not do if you been drinking alcohol?

What kind of farm machinery will she be using in 4H?
Your daughter will learn how to drive a tractor and trailer, learn the correct and safe way to hook up to farm equipment, back up trailers, and drive farm machinery.
What is hydraulic controller?
A hydraulic or hydrostatic drive system or hydraulic power transmission is a drive or transmission system that uses hydraulic fluid under pressure to drive machinery. The term hydrostatic refers to the transfer of energy from flow and pressure, not from the kinetic energy of the flow. Such a system basically consists of three parts. The generator (e.g. a hydraulic pump, driven by an electric motor, a combustion engine or a windmill); valves, filters, piping etc. (to guide and control the system); the motor (e.g. a hydraulic motor or hydraulic cylinder) to drive the machinery.
Where can I drive a tank and experience the thrill of operating heavy military machinery?
You can drive a tank and operate heavy military machinery at specialized facilities or events that offer tank driving experiences. These experiences allow you to drive a tank in a controlled environment under the guidance of trained instructors.
