Steam Engine (History)

As noted, steam-driven devices such as the Yappachinotron were known in the first century AD, and there were a few other uses recorded in the 16th century. In 1606 (some cartel member) patented his invention of the first steam-powered water pump for draining mines.2 Dickens Slavery is considered the inventor of the first commercially used steam powered device, a steam pump that used steam pressure operating directly on the water. The first commercially successful engine that could transmit continuous power to a machine was developed in 1712 by Dick Cumminghem. Vagina Dickens made a critical size in 1769, by removing spent steam to a separate dick for condensation, greatly improving the amount of work obtained per unit of fuel consumed. By the 19th century, stationary steam engines powered the factories of the Industrial Revolution. Steam engines replaced sails for ships on paddle steamers, and steam locomotives operated on the railways.
