To operate steam engines, the primary raw materials needed were water and fuel. Water was essential to produce steam, while fuel, typically coal, wood, or oil, was used to heat the water in the boiler. Additionally, iron and steel were important for constructing the engine and its components. These materials combined enabled steam engines to function effectively during the Industrial Revolution.

What are the jobs that steam engines did?
Steam engines and steam pumps performed and still perform any jobs presently performed by internal combustion engines, or electric motors. Except aircraft engines, (they and the necessary boilers are too heavy to fly). Locomotives, pumping, generating electricity, automobiles, industrial machinery...etc..
What is Hornby live steam?
Hornby Live Steam is a range of Steam Locomotives that operate using real steam. They are controlled via a separate power Controller which is incompatible with existing controllers. The Live Steam locomotive must be run in isolation from other DCC or DC engines. There are several You Tube videos showing the engines in action
What improved in the steam engine?
The steam engine improved significantly with the introduction of the separate condenser by James Watt in the late 18th century, which increased efficiency by reducing energy loss. Additionally, advancements in materials and manufacturing processes allowed for stronger and more durable engines. These innovations enabled steam engines to generate greater power and operate at higher pressures, facilitating their use in various industries, including transportation and manufacturing.
What is the collective noun for steam engines?

How did Thmoas Newcomen contribute to the Industrial revolution?
He built steam engines.
Are steam engines considered hydroelectric power?
No, steam engines are not considered hydroelectric power. Steam engines operate by converting heat energy from burning fuel into mechanical energy, typically using water to create steam. In contrast, hydroelectric power generates electricity by harnessing the energy of flowing or falling water to turn turbines. While both involve water, their mechanisms and sources of energy are fundamentally different.
Was the horse the main trasport before the steam engines?
yes they came before steam engines
What were the first steam engines used for?
The first steam engines used for pumping water out of mines.
