What was the horsepower of the 1st steam engine?

The first steam engine was Hero's turbine, it is unknown what the horsepower output of it was. It was used as an item of curiosity, and did no real work. The first practical (useful) steam engine was the Newcomen pumping engine, used to pump water out of mines, it was an improvement over Savery's pump (which did use steam but not an engine) in that it more efficiently made use of the steam, it is estimated that the work output of this engine would have been about 10 to 30 horsepower. The engine used the vacuum created by condensing the steam to drive it. The Boulton-Watt engine was the first practical engine that used the power of the expansion of steam to drive the piston, in both directions, thus improving the efficiency of the engine. The horsepower of this engine was about 10 to 45 BHP (brake horsepower).
