How did Thmoas Newcomen contribute to the Industrial revolution?
He built steam engines.
Why were James watt's improvement to the steam engine important to the industrial revolution?
Steam engines existed before James Watt started experimenting with steam power in his Glasgow workshop in the 1760s. Ultimately, Watt's improvements and insight turned steam into a revolutionary power source.
Why was James Watt important during the Industrial Revolution?
He greatly improved existing steam engines for use in factories.
What did James Watt invent during the industrial revolution?
James Watt improved on the design of early steam engines. His patented inventions included a separate water-cooled chamber for condensing steam, dramatically improving the efficiency of steam engines that were developed at the beginning of the industrial revolution.
Are steam engines still being used?
Steam engines presently produce more power than all other types of engines combined. Most steam engines take the form of the steam turbine engine. The steam turbine is responsible for generating about 86% of the electric power used on this planet. Reciprocating steam engines are still in use for limited applications, but are generally considered obsolete. Steam engines, either the piston or turbine type were used on most big ships until recently, and there are still a few steam locomotives about.

yes they came before steam engines
Who created the steam engines?
James Watt
What has the author James Tribe written?
James Tribe has written: 'Compound Corliss engines' -- subject(s): Corliss steam-engine, Steam-engines
What invention allowed factories to be built anywhere?
The steam engine revolutionized manufacturing by allowing factories to be built anywhere, as it provided a source of power that did not rely on water sources or location-specific factors. This enabled industries to be established in urban areas without access to waterways, increasing flexibility in factory siting.

What company built the Milwaukee Road Hiawatha steam engines?
ALCO
What is a major advantage of the steam engine over water?
Steam engines do not need to be built next to rivers or streams.
What made James what s interested in steam engines?
He was asked to take a "look at" a Newcomen engine to repair it if he could. This is what sparked his interest in improving steam engines.
