Thomas Savery developed the steam engine with the assistance of various engineers and inventors of his time, but he is primarily credited as the inventor of the first practical steam engine for pumping water. His work built upon earlier concepts by other inventors, such as Denis Papin and Thomas Newcomen, who contributed to the understanding of steam power. Savery's engine, patented in 1698, was designed to remove water from mines, showcasing the collaborative evolution of steam technology during the late 17th century.
