'''Iacobus Watt''' (vulgo ''James Watt'', natus [[Greenock]] in [[Scotia]] die [[19 Ianuarii]] [[1736]], mortuus [[Handsworth]] in [[Anglia]] die [[25 Augusti]] [[1819]]) fuit [[iinventor]], [[machinator]], ac [[chemicus]] [[Scotia|Scoticus]], qui [[machina vaporaria|machinam vapore propulsam]] [[Thomae Newcomen]] emendans, suam machinam anno [[1781]] creavit, quae magni momenti fuit in [[conversio industrialis|conversione industriali]] [[Britannia Magna|Britanniae Magnae]] et totius orbis terrarum.
Ab anno [[1756]] in [[Universitas Glasguensis|Universitate Glasguensi]] fabricator instrumentorum laborans, arti machinarum vaporariarum studere coepit. Hic sensit machinas quae erant saepius [[cylindrus|cylindrum]] refrigerando et calefaciendo nimiam energiam perdere. Watt novum instrumentum, [[condensatrum]] separatam, creavit, quod perditionem energiae vitavit et potestatem, efficientiam, pretium machinarum vaporariarum magnopere emendavit. Tandem machinam ad [[motus rotarius|motum rotarium]] accommodavit, qui ei multos usus praeter aquam hauriendam dedit.
<!--Watt attempted to commercialize 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,[4] and the SI unit of power, the watt, was named after him.-->
