In 1766 Watt landed a job as a land surveyor marking out land for canals and eight years later he moved to Birmingham. In 1775 he went into partnership with MatthewBoulton and began making steam engines which were used for pumping water out of mines.

By 1780 the Industrial Revolution was beginning to transform life in Britain and Watt adapted his steam engines to provide a rotary motion so they could be used to power machines in new factories. In 1781 he used the sun and planet gear to do this and four years later, steam engines were used to power machines in cotton mills for the first time.

Meanwhile, in 1782 Watt invented another major improvement, the double-acting steam engine. In 1788 he invented the fly ball governor to regulate the speed of steam engines and a pressure gauge in 1790.

In 1785 Watt was elected a fellow of the royal society and he retired from business in 1800.
