What else did James Watt invented?
Apart from inventing the ‘modern’ steam engine, Watt invented the centrifugal (fly-ball) governor, the first use of a servo, used to regulate the speed of steam engines and rotating objects, including chime systems in steeple clocks. He coined ‘horsepower’ to express the relative power of an engine to a known everyday powerful thing. His name is immortalized as a unit of measurement; 1 Watt being equal to 1volt x 1 Amp, and 1/745 (approx) of 1 horsepower. Watt also invented a device that, when attached to telescopes, could facilitate the measurement of relative distances.
