Michael Faraday did not directly improve the steam engine itself; instead, he made significant contributions to the understanding of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. His work laid the groundwork for future advancements in energy conversion, including the development of electric motors and generators, which are conceptually related to steam engine technology. Faraday's experiments with electromagnetic induction ultimately impacted the broader field of energy production and utilization.
A steam engine.
In an Internal Combustion Engine, the Fuel is burnt in the cylinder or vessel eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Gasoline engines, Wankel engines, diesels, gas turbines are all examples of internal combustion.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burnt. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains.
Examples of external combustion engines: 1) wood-burning or coal burning steam-powered locomotives 2) coal and oil-fired boilers on steamships 3) Stanley Steamer, an early steam-powered motorcar 4) nuclear reactors
No, a steam engine is not alive. It is a machine that uses the energy created by heating water to produce mechanical work. It does not have the characteristics of a living organism such as growth, reproduction, or response to stimuli.
A Watt's indicator mechanism (also known as Watt's straight line mechanism or double lever mechanism) which consists of four links. The four links are : fixed link at A, link AC, link CE and link BFD.The displacement of the link BFD is directly proportional to the pressure of gas or steam which acts on the indicator plunger.

He didnt do anything
to help improve the steam engine
He developed a steam engine that could be used for manufacturing.
James Watt improved the steam engine because he had an interest in steam engines.He also had amazing skills in mathematics and engineering.He couldn't turn down an incredible oppertunity to improve a steam engine.
He saw that Newcomen's steam engine was extremely inefficient and thought he could improve the design. Which he subsequently did.
It increased the engine's efficiency, making it useful for other things
To help improve transportation mainly on rivers and canals
it was easier to travel upstream
it could go faster than horses
It increased the engine's efficiency, making it useful for other kinds of work.
