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.
In 1765, James Watt made improvements to the Newcomen engine, which was inefficient but the best steam engine of its time.
In 1765
James Watt invented the steam engine in 1765, which was a significant advancement in the Industrial Revolution. Watt's improvements to the steam engine made it more efficient and practical for various industrial applications, leading to significant advancements in manufacturing and transportation.

The year that the first steam boat was reliable was year 1765.
It took him 8 years, from 1765 to 1776.
The first phone invented was in 1765.
In 1765, the cost of a steam engine, specifically James Watt's early design, was around £100 to £200, which was considered quite expensive at the time. This price reflected the advanced technology and materials involved in its construction. The investment was often justified by its potential to significantly increase efficiency in industries like mining and manufacturing.
The first modern steam engine was developed by James Watt (1736-1819), a Scottish engineer, in the 1760s. Building from the earlier steam engine developed by Thomas Newcomen, Watt made several significant improvements to his predecessor's model. Watt's key enhancement was a separate condenser which helped to solve the massive heat loss and resulting inefficiency which characterized Newcomen's model. In Watt's model, a cylinder head forced the piston down in a partial vacuum by means of steam. Watt finished his model in 1765, and the first steam engine of Watt's design came out in 1769, the same year Watt's idea was patented. Watt took some of his ideas from another inventor and engineer named Humphrey Gainsborough (1718-1776).
