  +  “Ifhuman thought is a growth, like all other growths, its logic is without foundation of its own, and is only the adjusting constructiveness of all other growing things. A tree cannot find out, as it were, how to blossom, until comes blossom-time. A social growth cannot find out the use of steam engines, until comes steam-engine-time.” — Charles Fort

  + What Isa Steam Engine?  Steam engine was first invented in the 1698 by an English inventor, Thomas Savery. In which later in the 1711 it was improved by Thomas Newcomen he is also an Englishman. Then again, in 1781 a Scottish guy named James Watt improved the steam engine that produce continuous rotative motion in which later this engine became truly viable machinery that helped start the Industrial Revolution in the 18th century.  Steam engine is an engine where it uses heats (by boiling water) to build a high pressure force to produce a mechanical motion.  This was used for water pump and transportations.

  + Thomas Savery  Thomas Savery was born in 1650, Shilstone, Devinshire, England. And he was the first person who successfully invented the steam powered engine.  He was a military engineer and he was a mechanic lover.  His first design was pretty simple in which it is only can be used to pump water up of the mines.  Later on he decided to work together with Thomas Newcomon after he got a patent tu run this steam powered engine. Then they decided to improve the steam engine to become more advanced.

  + Thomas Newcomen  He was born in 28th February 1664 in Dartmouth Devon England.  He was a British Engineer and one of the steam engine developer.  His initiative to develop the steam engine is because as he was an ironmonger in his city and running a water pump engine using horses power to pump out the water from the Cornish tin mines was too expensive.  His new design was using piston instead of vessels from Savery.  Their innovation was really important in that time to help the coal miners pumping up the water.

  + James Watt  He was born in Greenock, Scotland 1736.  He raised in the carpenter family and he loves instruments.  Later in 1755 he went to London to study engineering. In which later he improved the Newcomen’s steam engine design and afterwards he met a guy named Matthew Boulton, in which then they become a partner and runs this business of steam engine together.  His steam engine was working successfully and even it can be used in transportation. Since then the steam train was build and ships etc.  It was really helping the Industrial revolution.

  + How DoesIt Work?

  +  Insidethe locomotive cab, the coals are loaded in the firebox,  The boiler is a big tank of water with dozens of thin metal tubes running through it, in which it brings heat and smoke from the firebox to the chimney to release them. As the heat is released from that tube, the water in the tank is boiled.  The steam from the water goes to the cylinder and giving a pressure towards the piston right in front of the wheel.  A little mechanical gate in the cylinder, known as an inlet valve lets the steam in. The piston moves back and forth and as it is connected to the wheel using crank and connecting rod, it able to moves the wheels.

  + Effects Towards…  Innovation of Technology  It helps the world into more modern era called Industrial revolution.  Technology invention begins and things are being build rapidly. Such as the locomotive steam engine.  Social lifestyle  Help jobs easier and cheaper.

  + What Arethe Disadvantages  High pressure steam which is dangerous.  Giving too much pollution  Too much energy is used to make the steam
