yes they came before steam engines
What came after steam engines?
Gas engine
What powered transport before the steam engine?
Before steam engines came into use, travel on land was mostly powered by horse. On water, it was mostly powered by wind.
What was the first car that was made?
The first personal transportation devices were really just steam engines on a bench that came around the year 1769. The first true car was the Benz motorwagen (Mercedes Benz). The First mass produced car was the Model T.

What is a Steam Engine and how has it developed through the ages? A steam engine is a device that converts the potential energy that exists as pressure in steam, and converts that to mechanical force. Early examples were the steam locomotive trains, and steamships that relied on these steam engines for movement. The Industrial Revolution came about primarily because of the steam engine. The thirty seconds or so required to develop pressure made steam less favoured for automobiles, which are generally powered by internal combustion engines. The first steam device was invented by Hero of Alexandria, a Greek, before 300BC, but never utilized as anything other than a toy. While designs had been created by various people in the meanwhile, the first practical steam engine was patented by James Watt, a Scottish inventor, in 1769. Steam engines are of various types but most are reciprocal piston or turbine devices. The strength of the steam engine for modern purposes is in its ability to convert raw heat into mechanical work. Unlike the internal combustion engine, the steam engine is not particular about the source of heat. Also, modern steam engines burn fuel cleanly and efficiently, with relatively little pollution.
What was made first planes or jets?
Planes powered by internal combustion engines came first.
What was the impact on the society on the introduction of watt's steam engine b?
Firstly, the responce given to the steam engine was not good. The industries had not started using it as soon as it was improved by James watt. But gradually the invention and its benefits came into news and the industrialists started buying the steam engines for their factories
Which of these industrial revolutions inventions came first steam boat airplane assembly line an electric light bulb?
Steamboat
What 2 things do you have today due to the steam engine?
The electric grid (power supply) is one thing mainly dependent on steam engines (turbines), more than 90% of the worlds electric generators use steam turbines to generate electricity (nuclear power plants generate steam to power the turbines). Because of that, anything that uses electricity came into being, such that, we could claim we have computers as a result of the industrial technology created, because of the steam engine.
Were there cars in the 1600's?
no they only came about at the end of the 19th century
How was transportation transformed during the industrial revolution?
the steam boat and the steam locomotive ( train )
Did the person who created the first set of automobile traffic laws drive?
yes, William Phelps Eno came up with such innovations as the stop sign and the traffic circle, but designed most for horse-drawn carriages.
