Maybe a quick mention in here? The finale song (Light at the end of the tunnel) mentions him a fair bit, due to him helping invent steam power (and in the story, the steam train has just beaten the electric train, diesel train etc.). - JaffaCakeLover 14:34, 08 November 2006 (GMT)

Watt and Beddoes pioneered the therapeutic potential of low dose carbon monoxide as hydrocarbonate (eg water gas generated by passing steam over hot coals to make CO and H2). Over the past twenty years there has been significant research activity in carbon monoxide therapeutics including two pharmaceutical companies Proterris and Hillhurst Biopharma (see the wiki page Carbon Monoxide Releasing Molecules). As Watt was a pioneer of this field, adding this accolade to his wiki page may warrant further consideration. SloppyTots ( talk) 00:54, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
Update: furthermore, Watt correctly predicted CO displaces oxygen from hemoglobin hence its toxicity is asphyxia. Unfortunately this was several years before the discovery of the CO molecule (Watt used hydrocarbonate). The experimental evidence emerged in the 1850s with the work of Claude Bernard and independently by Hoppe-Seyler to demonstrate CO displaced O2 ... Watt was ~60 years ahead of his time!

Please change the photo you have used for the James watt college in Greenock that is not the James watt college it's the James watt statue the college isn't even called James watt college anymore. To put it simply you have a photo on here with the caption James watt memorial college and it's actually of a statue of James watt that's attached to the town municipal buildings. 2A00:23C6:7790:B901:2887:93E8:1369:3C1B ( talk) 23:37, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
