Can a petrol engine run on lean air-fuel ratio such as 30 by 1 while a diesel engine can?
No, the perfect fuel/air ratio is 14.6 to 1. A ratio of 13 to 1 is a safe ratio for most non turbo gas engines. Turbo engines can run a 12 to 1 ratio. Chrysler's lean burn system of the 70's and 80's used a ratio of around 18 to 1 and it was horrible. No gasoline engine can run at 30 to 1.

Since the early 18th century. The first practical steam engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712. It worked by condensing steam to create a vacuum and draw the piston down. In 1776 James Watt and Matthew Boulton created the first double acting steam engine which used the expansive power of steam to push the piston in both directions.

How did James Watt improve Thomas Newcomen's steam engine?
Newcomen's engine was heated with steam being admitted to it, then the cylinder was cooled causing the steam to condense, creating a vacuum that drew the piston down, driving a pump. Watt improved upon this by building a separate condenser to keep from heating and cooling the cylinder, which caused thermal stress and cracking. Later with the help of Matthew Boulton they designed an engine that used the power of the steam itself (rather than a vacuum) to drive the piston in both directions, creating the first double acting engine.
