In 1763 James Watt was sent the Newcomen Steam Engine in order to repair it. Two men, Thomas Savery and Thomas Newcomen invented this version of the steam engine. Both of these men were English engineers. This version was used to pump water out of water mines. The Newcomen steam engine uses the force of atmospheric pressure in order to work. Steam was pumped into a cylinder the steam wa

To prove to people that a steam engine was better than a team of horses he worked out how much each company saved by using his steam engine instead of horses. Each company had to pay one-third of what the company saved to Watt each year. This went on for the next twenty-five years. He also charged is customers a premium for using his product. His steam engines were mainly sold to colliery owners to pump water from their mines.

s then condensed by cold water that also created a vacuum on the inside of the cylinder. James Watt also discovered how he could make Savery and Necomen’s version of the steam engine more efficient. He worked on it for months to find out how to make a steam engine that cooled the used steam in the condenser separate from the main cylinder.

A man by the name of Richard Arkwright began to use Watt’s steam engine in his textile factories in 1783.
