How long have steam engines been in use?

Since the early 18th century. The first practical steam engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712. It worked by condensing steam to create a vacuum and draw the piston down. In 1776 James Watt and Matthew Boulton created the first double acting steam engine which used the expansive power of steam to push the piston in both directions.

Who invented steam engine to power other machines?

Many people have invented devices called "steam engines" that powered other machines. The inventor of the modern steam engine operated from the pressure of steam was James Watt. He had been asked to repair a failed Newcomen steam engine that was used to drive water pumps to keep a mine dry. The Newcomen steam engine was actually a vacuum engine operated by injecting steam at atmospheric pressure into a cylinder then condensing it to create a vacuum by spraying cold water into the cylinder. Watt recognized both the issues of alternating thermal stress and low efficiency of this design. He proposed to the mine owners instead of repairing the existing failed Newcomen steam engine with one of his own design. Since then all steam engine designers adopted variants of James Watt's steam engine.
