Which two men were responsible for the steam engine?

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.

How did word watt come into our language?

The word "watt" originated from the name of Scottish inventor James Watt, whose improvements to the steam engine in the late 18th century significantly advanced industrial productivity. The term was adopted in the 19th century to measure electrical power, reflecting Watt's contributions to both steam and electrical engineering. It became a standard unit of power in the International System of Units (SI) and is widely used in various scientific and engineering contexts today.
