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.
