The confusion that Watt was the actual inventor of the steam engine came from the fundamental nature of his part in its development. The electrical unit, the Watt, was named in his honour and he also began the saying "horse power". Watt continued his research and experimental work and in 1781 produced a rotary motion steam engine. This machine, unlike his first, could be used to drive many different types of machinery. At the age of 83, after a productive and creative life, Watt died in Heathfield, England, on August 19, 1819. By the time of Watt's death he had changed history and was the most honoured engineer who had lived. In his honour, the electrical unit, the Watt, was named after him.

If transmitter power is increased from 200 Watts to 400 Watts how do you convert to Db form?
Decibels (db) is relative power, log base 2, times 3. Increasing power from 200 watts to 400 watts is doubling power, so the decibel change is +3 db.800 watts would be +6 db, 1600 watts would be +9 db, 100 watts would be -3 db, 50 watts would be -6 db, and so on.
