Who invented steam engine to power other machines?

Many people have invented devices called "steam engines" that powered other machines. The inventor of the modern steam engine operated from the pressure of steam was James Watt. He had been asked to repair a failed Newcomen steam engine that was used to drive water pumps to keep a mine dry. The Newcomen steam engine was actually a vacuum engine operated by injecting steam at atmospheric pressure into a cylinder then condensing it to create a vacuum by spraying cold water into the cylinder. Watt recognized both the issues of alternating thermal stress and low efficiency of this design. He proposed to the mine owners instead of repairing the existing failed Newcomen steam engine with one of his own design. Since then all steam engine designers adopted variants of James Watt's steam engine.
