A steam engine is a heat engine. A steam engine uses boiling water to produce mechanical work. It uses the steam from the boiling water as its working fluid.
The first practical steam-powered 'engine' was a water pump, developed in 1698 by Thomas Savery.
At around age 19 he was working on steam engines.

No, a Stirling engine is not the same as a steam engine. A Stirling engine operates by cyclically heating and cooling a gas, which expands and contracts to produce mechanical work, while a steam engine relies on steam generated from boiling water to create pressure that drives a piston. The key difference lies in their operating principles and the working fluids used. Stirling engines are typically more efficient and can utilize various heat sources, whereas steam engines are specifically designed to use water as the working fluid.
In the 1780's or 90's American inventor John Fitch build one of the earliest working prototypes of the railroad steam engine.
Richard Trevithick's steam engine was known as the "Puffing Devil." Built in 1801, it was one of the first full-scale working railway steam locomotives. The engine used high-pressure steam to power its movement, showcasing Trevithick's innovative approach to steam power and laying the groundwork for future locomotives.
a device for controlling the rate of working of machinery or for controlling fluid flow, in particular a handle controlling the supply of steam to the cylinders of a steam engine.
When someone says that they are running out of steam it means they are losing momentum. This could also mean they're losing motivation.
A steam engine is an external combustion engine. As the steam engine combusts outside of the engine itself.
parallel fillet welds are designed for bending strength
It used to be steam, now its electricity.
