What else can I help you with?
Do aircraft designers still use steam engines 2014?
Aircraft designers didn't use steam engines in 1903, either.
Have steam engines been replaced?
The reciprocating steam engine is no longer in widespread commercial use.
Who would use a steam engine?
Someone who doesn't want to burn gasoline. A steam engine has the ability to use anything that will burn. Had the technology been applied to steam engines like it was to gasoline engines, we possibly would have some viable steam engine transportation today. Steam engines were less efficient than gasoline or diesel engines, that is why they are not used much today.
What were the steam engines first use?
The first steam engines used for pumping water out of mines.
Do modern airplanes use steam engines?
No and never have
Who invented the first steam engine in 1765?
The first use of steam power was over 2000 years ago. It was a simple devise that used steam to make movement. Steam engines have been around since the 1600s.

Did they use steam trains in 1948?

What did people use before the diesel engine?
Steam engines.
Do all steam engines use coal?
No, not all steam engines use coal as fuel. While many traditional steam engines, especially those from the 19th and early 20th centuries, were coal-fired, steam engines can also use other fuels such as wood, oil, or even biomass. The choice of fuel often depends on the design of the engine and the availability of resources. Modern steam engines, such as those used in some power plants, may utilize different fuels or technologies altogether.
Are steam engines still being used?
Steam engines presently produce more power than all other types of engines combined. Most steam engines take the form of the steam turbine engine. The steam turbine is responsible for generating about 86% of the electric power used on this planet. Reciprocating steam engines are still in use for limited applications, but are generally considered obsolete. Steam engines, either the piston or turbine type were used on most big ships until recently, and there are still a few steam locomotives about.
What was not improved by the use of steam engines in the 19th century?
Air Quality
