- n Scottish engineer and inventor whose improvements in the steam engine led to its wide use in industry (1736-1819)
- The wattage gives them away: many 7-watt CFLs are comparable to a regular 40-watt bulb, 26 watts is the typical CFL equivalent of 100 watts and so on.
- However, 1,000 watts of heat won't boil much water, so Kamen developed a closed system, powered by whatever fuel is at hand, that traps the energy released when the boiled water .
- The set I tested with it is generally attached to a much more powerful amp (110 watts per channel), so it took everything the PX2 could give it with only a slightly tinny feel in .
