How much did James watt's steam engine cost?
His Steam Engine costed around £5000
How did James Watt's steam engine help people?
James Watt's steam engine helped people as it was four times as fast as the one before it and it was much effective. With his help with the engine it made it easier and better to use.
What was the revolution like before the invention of James Watt's steam engine?
Not much of a Revolution.
How much did a steam engine cost when it was first invented?
85p
What did James Watt do to the steam engine?
In 1765, an engineer named James Watt was asked to repair a model of a Newcomen engine. While fixing it, he saw ways to improve it. He added a box called a condenser that helped keep the piston cylinder hotter. Watt also figured out how to have the steam push the piston in both directions, making a faster engine. Watt's improvements made the steam engine much more efficient. Watt also came up with the idea of comparing the power of his steam engines to the amount of work a horse could do.
How much did the steam engine cost in the Industrial Revolution?

Why is the term watts named after James watt?
He did a lot of steam engine work, and since they are sources of power, it is fitting that a power unit is named after him. Pretty much, a way to honor him.
How does a steam engine differ from a steam turbine?
Technically a steam turbine is a particular type of steam engine. A classic steam engine usually refers to a reciprocating steam engine, which uses a piston and crank arrangement, where pressurised steam (from the boiler) forces the piston through its stroke, producing output power. A steam turbine produces power with pressurized steam expanding to high velocity, and impinging on turbine blades which produce rotational output power. A steam turbine can be considered similar to a windmill, although steam turbines typicaly rotate much faster, and often have many stages of steam expansion within a single machine.
How much does a train engine weigh?
The weight of a train engine varies depending on the type of engine. A diesel engine can weigh as much as 250 tons while a steam engine would be about 100 tons.
Who would use a steam engine?
Someone who doesn't want to burn gasoline. A steam engine has the ability to use anything that will burn. Had the technology been applied to steam engines like it was to gasoline engines, we possibly would have some viable steam engine transportation today. Steam engines were less efficient than gasoline or diesel engines, that is why they are not used much today.
How much did it cost to make a steam engine during the Industrial Revolution?
200,000 dollars
