You don’t even know what a joule or watt is.

James Prescott Joule
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Prescott_Joule

James Prescott Joule FRS FRSE (/dʒaʊl, dʒuːl/;[1][2][a] 24 December 1818 – 11 October 1889) was an English physicist, mathematician and brewer, born in Salford, Lancashire. Joule studied the nature of heat, and discovered its relationship to mechanical work (see energy). This led to the law of conservation of energy, which in turn led to the development of the first law of thermodynamics. The SI derived unit of energy, the joule, is named after him.


James Watt

James Watt FRS FRSE (/wɒt/; 30 January 1736 (19 January 1736 OS) – 25 August 1819)[1] was a Scottish inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist who improved on Thomas Newcomen’s 1712 Newcomen steam engine with his Watt steam engine in 1776, which was fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both his native Great Britain and the rest of the world.
He developed the concept of horsepower,[2] and the SI unit of power, the watt, was named after him.
