No, the steam engine was not invented by Isaac Merritt Singer. The steam engine was developed in the 18th century, with significant contributions from inventors like Thomas Newcomen and James Watt. Isaac Merritt Singer is best known for his improvements to the sewing machine and for founding the Singer Sewing Machine Company in the 19th century.
The invention of the steam engine in 1760 is often attributed to James Watt, who significantly improved earlier designs. However, it is important to note that Thomas Newcomen created the first practical steam engine in 1712, primarily for pumping water. Watt's innovations in the 1760s and 1770s, including the separate condenser, greatly enhanced efficiency and paved the way for its use in various industries, marking a key moment in the Industrial Revolution.
The earliest steam engines did not have cylinders in the way we think of them today. The first practical steam engine, developed by Thomas Newcomen in the early 18th century, utilized a piston within a cylinder, but earlier designs, like those of Hero of Alexandria, were more conceptual and didn't function as efficient engines. The cylinder-and-piston configuration became a defining feature of later steam engines, particularly with James Watt's improvements in the late 18th century.
In 1765, an engineer named James Watt was asked to repair a model of a Newcomen engine. While fixing it, he saw ways to improve it. He added a box called a condenser that helped keep the piston cylinder hotter. Watt also figured out how to have the steam push the piston in both directions, making a faster engine. Watt's improvements made the steam engine much more efficient. Watt also came up with the idea of comparing the power of his steam engines to the amount of work a horse could do.
3cd b is name of compressor , is using in diesel locomotive . Compressor has three stage of cylinders w pattern. There are 2 low pressure cylinder 1 is high pressure, low pressure has 2 inlet & 2 discharge valve . Atmosphere air comes from air intake filters through inlet valve open position into low pressure cylinders via inter cooler get cooled goes to high pressure cylinder . The cooling improves the volumetric efficiency of the compressor. The fan the finned tubes of the inter cooler increses the cooling efficiency. After well compressed air from high pressure goes to after cooler & way to mr tank for air brake system. So compressor only used for air brake locomotives.

Newcomen Society of the United States ended in 2007.
Newcomen Society of the United States was created in 1923.
Newcomen Society's motto is 'Actorum memores simul affectamus agenda'.
Thomas Newcomen (1664-1729) was born in Dartmouth, England. Newcomen invented an early steam engine which was originally used to pump water from deep tin mines.
