Thomas Savery.
An Englishman is usually credited with inventing the first steam engine after the Spaniard patented a steam-operated machine. In 1698, Thomas Savery patented a machine that could draw water from flooded mines using steam pressure.
In 1698, Thomas Savery patented a pump with hand-operated valves that could raise water from mines. In 1712 another Englishman, Thomas Newcomen, developed a steam engine that separated steam from water.
The Industrial Revolution was powered by the steam engine. Water, wind, horse, or man powered most factories and mills before steam power. Factories can be located anywhere with the use of steam power. It could be used to power big machines.

The first steam-powered passenger vehicle, the “Puffing Devil,” or “Puffer,” was invented by Richard Trevithick on December 24, 1801.
The first patent of a modern steam engine was registered in 1606, but there is no consensus as to who was the inventor. The steam engine has been replaced with an electric motor or internal combustion.
It gave more power to the spinning frame. It reduced the amount of labor required and provided a stronger thread than the spinning jenny did. Watt’s steam engine was more efficient than Savery’s.
It is difficult to overstate how important electricity is to our way of life. The invention of the light bulb is a major extension of electricity.
James Watt invented the first reliable steam engine, Eli Whitney Cotton gin, and Robert Fulton invented the regular steamboat service. The Telegraph was written by Morse.
