An aeolipile is a steam engine powered by rocket propulsion, consisting of a pressure vessel mounted on a bearing, with one or more tubes exhausting steam in order to cause rotation.

How did Hero came up of the idea of making a aeolipile without the modern understanding of science?

Who invented the steam powered machine?
The first recorded steam engine was the aeolipile, by the Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria in the first century AD.
Where was the steam engine first invented?
Since the first recorded rudimentary steam engine being the AEOLIPILE described by Hero of Alexandria from Alexandria Egypt.
How did the invention of the aeolipile assist Queen Victoria with ruling or gaining power?
Considering that the aeolipile was invented over 1800 years prior to Queen Victoria's reign by the Greek Inventor Heron (or the "Hero of Greece")...you may wish to restate your question in a manner that makes a little more sense. Furthuremore, even if she did use it, it would have not have helped her to gain power...she was born into it as she rules a constitutional monarchy.
When was the rocket engine invented?
It partly depends on what you mean by rocket engine; the Aeolipile was a steam rocket powered sphere which was first described in the first century AD - 2000 years ago
How were turbines made?
Quite simply, a turbine is any device that converts fluid motion into usable energy. The first turbine would either be the aeolipile (ca. 100 BCE), which was two opposite vents that created thrust in one direction using steam, or naturally powered machines such as windmills and water wheels.
When was the railway engine invented?
The history of the steam engine stretches back as far as the first century AD; the first recorded rudimentary steam engine being the aeolipile described by Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria. In the following centuries, the few steam-powered "engines" known were, like the aeolipile, essentially experimental devices used by inventors to demonstrate the properties of steam. A rudimentary steam turbine device was described by Taqi al-Din in 1551 and by Giovanni Branca in 1629. Jerónimo de Ayanz y Beaumont received patents in 1606 for fifty steam powered inventions, including a water pump for draining inundated mines. Denis Papin, a Huguenot refugee, did some useful work on the steam digester in 1679, and first used a piston to raise weights in 1690

What are some nine letter words with 3rd letter O and 6th letter P and 9th letter E?
According to SOWPODS (the combination of Scrabble dictionaries used around the world) there are 9 words with the pattern --O--P--E. That is, nine letter words with 3rd letter O and 6th letter P and 9th letter E. In alphabetical order, they are: aeolipile aeolipyle apocopate clozapine frontpage phonopore stockpile stovepipe woodspite
How can heat make something turn?
The Aeolipile is the earliest example of heat making something turn - the expanding steam streaming out from the nozzles caused the chamber to rotate. There are many other examples of heat making things turn: * Variation in atmospheric pressure across regions of the earth's surface causes wind to blow, and these low pressure and high pressure regions rotate - very low pressure regions are called tornados, hurricanes or cyclones * Combustion and expansion of hot gases in a reciprocating engine forces the piston downward - as the piston is connected to a crankshaft, the crackshaft then turns
When was the first combustible engine?
"Combustion engine" is a pretty generic term.Arguably the aeolipile was a very simple combustion engine, and it was described by Hero (that's a name, not a title) of Alexandria in the 1st Century.James Watt patented his steam engine in 1781.Robert Stirling developed an external combustion engine that did not use steam in 1816.The first internal combustion engine that we'd today recognize as an "engine" was probably the one developed by Christiaan Huygens (you may have heard the name before; he's more famous as an astronomer) in the 17th Century. It ran on gunpowder and was designed to operate water pumps for the palace gardens at Versailles.
