It made machines safer to operate then before the invention of steam power
Steam power accelerated the first and second Industrial Revolutions.
Steam power is power(energy) produce by steam.
Steam engines existed before James Watt started experimenting with steam power in his Glasgow workshop in the 1760s. Ultimately, Watt's improvements and insight turned steam into a revolutionary power source.
Richard Arkwright's water frame for spinning cotton is usually accepted as the basis for the first factories. However, as often with the industrial revolution it was a process contributed to by many people.
Coal, which created steam, and massive amounts of land and air pollution.
Steam power accelerated the first and second Industrial Revolutions.
The development of steam power enabled the growth of industries such as manufacturing, transportation (like steam trains and ships), and mechanized agriculture. It played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution by providing a reliable and efficient source of energy to power machines and revolutionize productivity.
Steam power helped launch European industrialization, while the factory system contributed to the growth of later industrialization.

In the 18th century, the primary source of power for machines in manufacturing was water, particularly in the form of waterwheels harnessing river currents. This was supplemented by wind power, using windmills, and later, steam power became increasingly important with the development of steam engines. These sources allowed for greater mechanization and efficiency in production processes during the Industrial Revolution.
