important invention and helped give way to the Industrial Revolution. It was very useful

invention of his time. Many people like James Watt and Richard Trevithick used the

atmospheric steam engine to produce more sophisticated inventions.

Thomas Newcomen was a very important inventor. He was born in 1663 in

Britain. He worked as a blacksmith until he worked with Thomas Savery, who had

already tried to make a steam engine but couldn't do it.

Thomas Newcomen invented the first working steam engine in 1712 with the help

of Savery. At first the steam engine wasn't very popular, later the steam engine was

considered the century's most important invention when used in mines.

Thomas Newcomen also made tools for coal miners and often visited mines, this

is how he knew the needs of miners2. The first steam engine was used to work at a South

Stafforshire colliery3. Most of the early engines produced the steam by using coal. This is

why steam engines were installed in coal mines where coal was free.

Even though Thomas Newcomen actual invented the first steam engine, James

Watt is usually known for making it4. Watt's engine was much more efficient

transportation. In 1896, Henry Ford also made the first self-propelled automobile and by
