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.
