An aeolipile works by utilizing steam to create rotational motion. When the water inside the device is heated, it turns into steam and escapes through nozzles, causing the sphere to rotate due to the principle of action and reaction. This rotation is the result of the steam pushing against the surrounding atmosphere.

When was the railway engine invented?

The history of the steam engine stretches back as far as the first century AD; the first recorded rudimentary steam engine being the aeolipile described by Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria. In the following centuries, the few steam-powered "engines" known were, like the aeolipile, essentially experimental devices used by inventors to demonstrate the properties of steam. A rudimentary steam turbine device was described by Taqi al-Din in 1551 and by Giovanni Branca in 1629. Jerónimo de Ayanz y Beaumont received patents in 1606 for fifty steam powered inventions, including a water pump for draining inundated mines. Denis Papin, a Huguenot refugee, did some useful work on the steam digester in 1679, and first used a piston to raise weights in 1690


How were turbines made?

Quite simply, a turbine is any device that converts fluid motion into usable energy. The first turbine would either be the aeolipile (ca. 100 BCE), which was two opposite vents that created thrust in one direction using steam, or naturally powered machines such as windmills and water wheels.
