His name is on every light bulb, but the actual work of Scottish engineer
and inventor James Watt (1736-1819) was not directly related to electricity.
When repairing a newcomen machine, used to pump water out of the mines, Watt
thought of some improvements, which in fact lead to a complete new concept:
the steam engine. Watt also built an organ, developed a machine to copy statues,
a propeller, and several other innovations.

Control | ||||||||||||||||||
 |
The control of the Chiron is realised
by means of sensors, actuators and electronics. Synchronisation of piston
movement and fuel injection can only be realised by electronic control.
Two simple and robust inductive sensors are used to determine the position
of the plunger. The control hardware is built around an off the shelf
SIEMENS 40 Mhz 16 bit processor. |
