	Obituary of John Scott Russell
		Scott Russell was one of the earliest and most active advocates of ironclad men-of-war, and he has the merit of having been the joint designer of our first sea-going armoured frigate, the Warrior.
		Scott Russell was one of the founders of the Institution of Naval Architects, and was one of its vice-presidents from the date of its constitution down to the day of his death.
		Scott Russell was one of the last links connecting our time with the great era of engineering at the early part of the century, and his loss cannot but be keenly felt by all who knew him.

	John Scott Russell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Scott Russell (May 9, 1808, Glasgow - 8 June 1882) was a Scottish naval engineer who built The Great Eastern in collaboration with Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and made the discovery that gave birth to the modern study of solitons.
		It was not until the 1960s and the advent of modern computers that the significance of Russell's discovery in physics, electronics, biology and especially fibre optics started to become understood, leading to the modern general theory of solitons.
		Russell was a better scientist than a businessman and his reputation never fully recovered from his financial irregularities and disputes.

	solitoncanalAS.htm Recreating the Soliton on the Scott Russell Aqueduct
		In 1834, John Scott Russell was observing a boat being drawn along 'rapidly' by a pair of horses.
		When the boat suddenly stopped Scott Russell noticed that the bow wave continued forward "at great velocity, assuming the form of a large solitary elevation, a well-defined heap of water which continued its course along the channel apparently without change of form or diminution of speed".
		Scott Russell was convinced that he had observed an important phenomenon, and he built an experimental tank in his garden to continue his studies of what he dubbed the 'Wave of Translation'.

	John RUSSELL of Strensham
		Kinship was later claimed and acknowledged by both families: as early as 1533 Russell of Strensham wrote that he had sought the future earl's assistance in a suit, and his grandson, John, born in 1551, was to be brought up in the household of Francis Russell, the 2nd Earl.
		Russell's youth and relative inexperience make it probable that his parliamentary career opened in 1529, although he could have sat in 1523 when the names of the knights of the shire are lost.
		Russell died on 15 Aug 1556, three days after making a will in which he named his son executor and noted that his wife Edith was ‘visited with such infirmity as she is not well able to govern herself’.

	Soliton
		The soliton phenomenon was first described by John Scott Russell[?] (1808-1882) who observed a solitary wave in the Union Canal, reproduced the phenomenon in a wave tank, and named it the "Wave of Translation".
		In 2001, the practical use of solitons became a reality when Algety Telecom deployed submarine telecommunications equipment in Europe carrying real traffic using John Scott Russell[?]'s solitary wave.

		Scott said in about four or five years a bomb or earthquake would hit Bali’s popular tourist area because all he could see was fire and a lot of devastation.

		John Russell had grown up in Glasgow where he was so fascinated by the great creak and roar of the first Newcomen steam engines at the Carntyne mines, that he abandoned his career in the church to become an engineer himself.
		Russell set off on horseback to follow this wave, and chased it for over a mile along the canal before it started to weaken.
		Russell carefully watched the behaviour of many different waves: he called normal waves oscillatory waves, and his new wave the Great Wave of Translation.

		John was born on 9 May 1808, the son of David Russell and Agnes Clark Scott, in Parkhead, Glasgow.
		In the 1830s Russell developed a prototype passenger-carrying steam carriage, but it met with opposition from the road trustees, and the venture failed.
		After working for a shipbuilder in Greenock, Russell moved to London in 1844, with his wife and two young children.

	The Engineers and the Crystal Palace
		Brunel stood at the top of his profession, in an age of great engineers — Robert Stephenson, Scott Russell and a new man, the Duke of Devonshire's clever head gardener, Joseph Paxton, who appeared with his one masterpiece doodled on blotting paper, the legendary Crystal Palace.
		John Scott Russell weighed these factors and sprang his coup one night in 1850.
		Brunel, Scott Russell and Robert Stephenson were members of the building committee of the big fair.

		Following this discovery, Scott Russell built a 30' wave tank in his back garden and made further important observations of the properties of the solitary wave.
		Throughout his life Russell remained convinced that his solitary wave (the ``Wave of Translation'') was of fundamental importance, but ninteenth and early twentieth century scientists thought otherwise.
		To mention some of his many and varied activities, he developed the "wave line" system of hull construction which revolutionized ninteenth century naval architecture, and was awarded the gold medal of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1837.

		In [GGKM] for example, the authors use it to recover and generalize the wave form observed by Scott Russell.

		His interests spanned the spectrum of steam-driven carriages and barges to pioneering marine designs and the politics of the American Civil War, British artillery supplies to the combatants and the founding of the Institute of Naval Architecture.
		Immersed in the social, professional and political circles of his day, Russell survived controversy, jealousies, defamation and conspiracies to emerge as an eclectic figure of the nineteenth century.

		Solitons are found in many physical phenomena, as they arise as the solutions of a widespread class of weakly nonlinear dispersive partial differential equations describing physical systems.
		Examples of topological solitons include the screw dislocation in a crystalline lattice, the Dirac string and the magnetic monopole in electromagnetism, the Skyrmion and the Wess-Zumino-Witten model in quantum field theory, and cosmic strings and domain walls in cosmology.
		In 1834, John Scott Russell describes his wave of translation.

	Solitons, soap films, and scale structures
		In 1834, John Scott Russell, an engineer by profession, was riding his horse beside an Edinburgh canal when he witnessed an astonishing natural phenomenon.
		Fascinated, Russell constructed a laboratory simulation so that he could study the behaviour of wave formation and the conditions under which these special waves (later termed solitons) occurred.
		His initial findings and formulae that related a wave's speed to its amplitude and to the depth of the canal were published and reported to the British Association but were virtually ignored by the establishment which considered the concept of 'solitary waves of permanent form' illogical.
