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).
Who was the inventor of steam engine and what is horsepower?
There was no one inventor of the steam engine, although James Watt and Thomas Newcomen were among the first to create a workable engine. Horsepower is a measure of energy needed to do work. One horsepower is required to lift 75 kg 1 meter in 1 second.

Who invented the concept of horsepower?
Inventor and genius James Watt created the concept of horsepower. He was most well known for the improvements to the steam engine.
When was the steam engine patented?
The Steam-Engine as such was not patented, but assorted individual designs of the basic machine, and of its various parts, were patented by various manufacturers over the years. Thomas Savery, in 1698, patented the first practical, atmospheric pressure, steam engine of 1 horsepower (about 750 watts)
How did the first steam boats work?
The first steam boat was made by Robert Fulton, it made its maiden voyage on August 17, 1807. Fulton's boat had a 24-horsepower Boulton and Watt engine that was controlled by the pressure of steam and a partial vacuum.
What didJamesWatt invent?
Watt developed the concept of Horsepower and the unit of power the Watt. He did not invent the steam engine but did make significant improvments to the Newcomen steam engine. Watt introduced a design enhancement, the separate condenser, which avoided this waste of energy and radically improved the power, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of steam engines.
What is the horsepower of the 2010 mustang?
V6 engine - 210 horsepower , V8 engine - 315 horsepower
What type of combustion engine in the steam engine?
A steam engine is an external combustion engine. As the steam engine combusts outside of the engine itself.
When was the last steam engine built in US?
Various small steam engines are built and marketed throughout the USA and the world today. This includes engines producing several horsepower, typical for steamboats, etc. The last large US manufacturer of steam engines, Skinner Engine Company, went out of business about 1980, and the last large engine that they built powered a generator in a large central station power plant. This generator powered the exciter for the main turbine driven generator, and is in the vicinity of 1,000 - 2000 Horsepower.
What is the real horsepower of a 1988 mustang?
The horsepower on the 1988 Mustang was # 90 horsepower 2.3 liter engine # 225 horsepower 5.0 liter engine
