The Chinese people develop a steam-propelled cart in 800 BC. I think that is the start of steam-powered machines.
The invention of the steam engine
The invention of the cotton mill
He is famous for his invention of the first commercially used steam powered engine
The invention of the static steam engine led to the industrial revolution in Britain. It meant that factories could be built almost anywhere, and production machinery could be powered by a single static steam engine.

Newcomen invented the first workable steam powered pump. The power of steam can be harnessed to converted heat energy into mechanical energy.
The invention of steel led to increased production by steam powered and electrical machines. This technology advanced quickly during the American Industrial Revolution.
Steam-powered factories could be built in cities.
Steam powered literally means powered by steam. In 1712 Thomas Newcomen developed the first steam engine in which steam is let into a cylinder, then condensed, the resulting vacuum pulling the piston into the cylinder. James Watt improved on the design by adding a separate condenser. Richard Trevithick pioneered high pressure steam, where steam under pressure forces the piston up the cylinder rather than relying on atmospheric pressure to push it into the cylinder as in Newcomen's engines. Sir Charles Parsons brought steam power into the modern era with his invention of the steam turbine in 1884.
