Pada usia dua puluh satu, ia mengunjungi Dublin untuk melihat pembuatan jam yang rumit yang ia dengar. Tahun 1722 ia menemukan "mesin pulsasi", sebuah perangkat pemompa air yang menjadi cikal bakal [[hydram]].<ref>{{en}} Lihat {{cite journal\|author= Whitehurst, John\|title=Account of a Machine for Raising Water, Executed at Oulton, in Cheshire, in 1772\|journal=Philosophical Transactions (1683-1775)\|volume=65\|year=1775\|pages=277–279\|doi= 10.1098/rstl.1775.0026\|jstor = 106195?}}</ref> <!--▼ Receiving only a slight formal education, the younger Whitehurst was taught clockmaking by his father, who also encouraged the boy's pursuit of knowledge. At the age of twenty-one, the son visited Dublin to inspect a clock of curious construction of which he had heard. In 1722 he invented the "pulsation engine", a water-raising device that was the precursor of the [[hydraulic ram]].<ref>See {{cite journal\|author= Whitehurst, John\|title=Account of a Machine for Raising Water, Executed at Oulton, in Cheshire, in 1772\|journal=Philosophical Transactions (1683-1775)\|volume=65\|year=1775\|pages=277–279\|doi= 10.1098/rstl.1775.0026\|jstor = 106195?}}</ref> About 1736 Whitehurst entered into business for himself at Derby, where he soon obtained great employment, distinguishing himself by constructing several ingenious pieces of mechanism. Besides other works he made the clock for the town-hall, and in reward was enrolled as a burgess on 6 September 1737. He also made thermometers, barometers, and other philosophical instruments, and interested himself in contriving waterworks. He was consulted in almost every undertaking in Derbyshire and in the neighbouring counties in which skill in mechanics, pneumatics, and hydraulics was required. Sekitar 1736 Whitehurst memulai usaha sendiri di Derby, yang mana ia kemudian mendapat banyak pekerjaan, yang membedakan dirinya dari yang lain dengan membuat peralatan mekanik yang berbeda. Berbeda dengan pekerjaan lainnya ia membuat jam untuk balai kota, dan sebagai penghargaan ia mendapat gelar "burgess" pada 6 September 1737. Ia juga membuat [[termometer]], [[barometer]], dan beberapa peralatan ilmu pengetahuan lainnya, serta ia amat tertarik merancang peralatan yang berhubungan dengan air. Di hampir semua pekerjaan khusus di Derbyshire ia nyaris selalu terlibat sebagai konsultan, terutama terkait pekerjaan yang memerlukan keahlian [[mekanika]], [[pneumatik]], dan [[hidrolik]]. ▲<!-- In 1774, Whitehurst obtained a post at the [[Royal Mint]] in [[London]]. In 1775, on the passage of the act for the better regulation oí the gold coinage, without any solicitation on his part he was appointed stamper of the money-weights on the recommendation of the Duke of Newcastle.<ref>{{cite web \| title = Industrial Revolution: A Documentary History \| url = http://www.adam-matthew-publications.co.uk/digital_guides/industrial_revolution/brief%20chronology.aspx \| accessdate = 2008-04-25}}</ref> Whitehurst moved to London, where the rest of his life was passed in scientific pursuits, and where his house in Colt Court, Fleet Street, (formerly the abode of [[James Ferguson (1710–1776)\|James Ferguson]]) was visited by other distinguished scientists.
