1698, English military engineer, Thomas Savery (1650-17150
The idea of using boiling water to produce mechanical motion has a long history, going back about 2000 years. (see the related link below).
However, the first practical steam-powered 'engine' was a water pump, developed in 1698 by Thomas Savery. Then improving on the design of the 1712 Newcomen engine, the Watt steam engine was developed sporadically from 1763 to 1775 and was the next great step in the development of the steam engine. Then in around 1800, Richard Trevithick introduced engines using high-pressure steam.
