For example, James Watt's steam engine succeeded, since steam is gas, which take's up a lot of space, and puts pressure, pushing the pedal/wheel, which will lead to some more pedals and wheels to be pushed and turned. This equals to the whole machine working, plus it is more efficient than water since you can create steam by heating water, but you don't have the water's force all the time, which causes the whole thing to slow down. It is believed that James Watt required this idea from a tea kettle belonging to his mother.

How does a heat engine differ from steam engine?

A heat engine is a broad term that encompasses any device that converts thermal energy into mechanical work, utilizing various heat sources and cycles. A steam engine, on the other hand, is a specific type of heat engine that primarily uses steam as its working fluid, typically generated by boiling water. While all steam engines are heat engines, not all heat engines are steam engines, as heat engines can also use gases or other fluids in their operation. The principles of operation may vary based on the type of working fluid and thermodynamic cycle employed.
