tomas newcomen
What problem did Richard trevithick solve?
How to turn steam into power, he invented the very first steam engine.
What is the significance of the steam engine?
The steam engine was the first convenient source of power. It powered the industrial revolution as well as ships and trains in it's day.
What occurs in a steam engine?
Water is heated to produce steam. The steam is used to power the engine. The power from the engine does the work or powers other instruments that do the work.
Who created the first steam powered engine?
Hero, was credited with making the first steam engine, sometime in the first century, though it was mostly a novelty. Thomas Newcomen is generally credited with building the first practical steam pumping engine in 1712.

Did ancient Greece invent the steam engine?
Yes, the first person to harness the power of steam was the Greek scientist Heron of Alexandria in the first century A.D. He developed several devices that were operated by water, steam, or compressed air, including a fountain, a fire engine, and the steam engine.
What kind of engine uses heated water for power?
It is a steam engine.
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).
