THE QUESTION HAS MANY POSSIBILITYS hero is said to have used his invention to open temple doors I hope that helps... Hero of questionria
The first recorded steam engine was the aeolipile, by the Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria in the first century AD.
A learned writer in ancient Alexandria, named Hero, wrote a manuscript describing various devices and ideas of the time. Although it is not proven that Hero was the inventor of any of these devices, he is given credit for the earliest mention of steam power. Hero described a method to open the doors of a temple with the action of a fire on the altar at the front of the temple.... the first "Steam engine."
The invention of the steam engine is often credited to James Watt, who made significant improvements to earlier designs in the late 18th century, particularly with his separate condenser in 1765. However, the concept of the steam engine dates back to ancient times, with early versions created by inventors like Hero of Alexandria and Thomas Newcomen. Watt's enhancements greatly increased efficiency and practicality, paving the way for the Industrial Revolution.
During the first century AD, Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria described the first *recorded) steam engine called the aeolipile. Over the next centuries numerous engines powered by steam were created, notably a steam turbine described by Taqi al-Din (1551) and Giovanni Branca (1629). Similarly, Denis Papin inventred the steam digester (1679), first piston steam engine (1690), first practical steam engine was a water pump invented by Thomas Savery (1698). The first steam engine that was commercially successful appeared in 1712 which combine the works and ideas of many that had come before it in an engine developed by Thomas Newcomen. This was the model that helped spur on the Industrial Revolution. James Watt improved upon Newcomen's model from 1763 to 1775 and created the Early Watt pumping engine, which was more efficent and further accelerated the Industrial Revolution.

The first recorded steam engine was the aeolipile, by the Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria in the first century AD.
The first machine is often attributed to the ancient Greek polymath Hero of Alexandria, who lived in the 1st century AD. He designed and created a variety of machines, including the aeolipile, a type of steam engine.

Hero, was credited with making the first steam engine, sometime in the first century, though it was mostly a novelty. Thomas Newcomen is generally credited with building the first practical steam pumping engine in 1712.

The first steam machine was the simple turbine invented by Hero of Alexandria in 100AD. The first practical steam driven machine was the beam engine invented by the Cornish engineer Newcomen in the 18th century. It was used to pump water out of the tin mines.

What is a Steam Engine and how has it developed through the ages? A steam engine is a device that converts the potential energy that exists as pressure in steam, and converts that to mechanical force. Early examples were the steam locomotive trains, and steamships that relied on these steam engines for movement. The Industrial Revolution came about primarily because of the steam engine. The thirty seconds or so required to develop pressure made steam less favoured for automobiles, which are generally powered by internal combustion engines. The first steam device was invented by Hero of Alexandria, a Greek, before 300BC, but never utilized as anything other than a toy. While designs had been created by various people in the meanwhile, the first practical steam engine was patented by James Watt, a Scottish inventor, in 1769. Steam engines are of various types but most are reciprocal piston or turbine devices. The strength of the steam engine for modern purposes is in its ability to convert raw heat into mechanical work. Unlike the internal combustion engine, the steam engine is not particular about the source of heat. Also, modern steam engines burn fuel cleanly and efficiently, with relatively little pollution.
The steam engine developed through a series of innovations beginning in the 1st century with Hero of Alexandria's steam-powered device. In the 17th century, Thomas Savery patented a steam pump for mining, followed by Thomas Newcomen's atmospheric engine in 1712, which improved efficiency for pumping water. The major breakthrough came with James Watt in the late 18th century, who enhanced the design with a separate condenser, making steam engines more efficient and practical for use in industry and transportation, ultimately fueling the Industrial Revolution.
