Watt Institution

Joule spoke to the Greenock Philosophical Society in the Watt Institution on 19January 1865, On Some Facts in the Science of Heat Developed Since the Time of Watt .8 The bulk of the lecture was given over to a description of Joule s own, already famous, experimental demonstration of the mechanical equivalent of heat...

FuelCell Energy is a partner with Versa Power Systems, Nexant, and Gas Technology Institute to develop more affordable fuel-cell-based technology that uses synthesis gas from a coal gasifier. The key objectives include the development of fuel cell technologies, fabrication processes, and manufacturing capabilities for solid oxide fuel cell stacks for multi-mega-watt power plants. 

In the light of these challenges, the Board of the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology (1998) has developed the vision of a 2000 Watt per capita society by... 

Therefore, the research and innovation system of a country has to be analysed and must be convinced by the opportunities and the new vision of a 2000 Watt per capita society. Any recommended efficiency-policy portfolio and R D efforts have to be evaluated within the context of the relevant research and innovation boundary conditions of the actors and institutions involved (see Fig. 20.3). The research and innovation systems of a country encompass the biotopes of all the institutions that are ...

Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston. Around his stay in that city, Huxley created a circle at Harvard parallel to his West Coast LSD team. The Harvard group included Huxley, Osmond, and Watts (brought in from California), Timothy Leary, and Richard Alpert. 

Davy, who experimented extensively upon himself with N2O, introduced it to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Robert Southey, James Watt (inventor of the steamboat), Peter Mark Roget (author of the famous Thesaurus), the potter Josiah Wedgwood (also later knighted) and other luminaries. Before long, patients were flocking to the Pneumatic Institution to be treated with...

Several members of the Lunar Society were major contributors, the Wedgwoods more prominent than the Watts in this regard. See T. H. Levere, Dr. Thomas Beddoes and the Establishment of his Pneumatic Institution. A Tale of Three Presidents , Notes and Records of the Royal Society of London, 32 (1977), pp. 41-9. The most extraordinary funding, a bond for 10,000 pounds, came from James Keir in Bond for performance of Covenant. Dr Beddoes to Jas. Keir Wm. Reynolds Esqrs., 27 August 1793, emended to 16 April 1794, National Archives (Kew), MSC 104/41. Keir was also a staunch phlo-gistonist.
