Who made the steam engine?


Who made the steam engine?

James Watt, the Scottish mathematical instrument maker, designed the first workable steam engine in 1765. In the following century, it was developed as a stationary power source to operate machinery, and as a mobile power source to run boats, cars and trains.

The steam engine brought about a great industrial revolution in the Western world and changed the world radically.
