Thaddeus Lowe's operations in his ground service's first months indicate considerable improvement in developing and understanding the observation balloon a significant and useful complement to the army service. He favored the captive balloons because:
- He showed that a captive balloon could be efficiently and safely propelled to and from different locations, and that the senior officers could take measurements from virtually any appropriate point chosen.
- The civil war time duration 1861 to 1863, encouraged him to experiment and make success of captive balloons, here his motivation raised as he was self made scientist and aeronaut.
- He was attempting to study medicine to satisfy the wishes of his grandmother, but the boredom diverted him to his first passion, aviation using lighter-than-air gases.
Bicameral - (of a legislative body) having two branches or chambers.
B. He improved the steam engine, allowing it to be used in many
industries
Explanation:
- The first steam engine was built in 1698, and by the time Watt was born, the machines, perfected by Thomas Newcomen, were already pumping water from mines throughout the country.
- Sometime around 1764, Watt was given a model of the Newcomen machine to repair it.
- Realizing that it was impossible to repair her, he began to work to improve it.
- He added a separate condensation chamber that prevented excessive steam loss. He patented a new, improved model of a steam engine in 1769.
