James Watt
Thomas Newcommen's invention was further developed by James Watt.
The first person to harness the power of steam was the Greek scientist Heron of Alexandria in the first century A.D. He developed several devices that were operated by water, steam, or compressed air, including a fountain, a fire engine, and the steam engine. The steam engine was significantly improved in 1711 by Englishman Thomas Newcomen (1663-1729), who created a machine that used steam to pump water. The Scottish inventor James Watt (1736-1819) substantially improved on Newcomen's model and patented (received exclusive rights to make, use, and sell) his own steam engine in 1769.
The first steam engine was invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712 to pump water from mines. Later improvements were made by James Watt And Richard Trevithick.
The steam locomotive was developed by George Stephenson in the early 1800s. His locomotive, named the "Locomotion No. 1," was built in 1825 and operated on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the world's first public railway to use steam locomotives. While there were earlier steam-powered vehicles, Stephenson's design significantly advanced locomotive technology and laid the foundation for modern rail transport.
Robert Fulton powered his steam boat with one of James watts steam engines. inventions such as the steam engine were generally the work of gifted tinkerers. they experimented with simple machines to make them better. the pace of change quickened as companies hired professional chemist and engineers to create new products and machinery.
