RMCFADP1–Newcomen steam engine invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712.

RMRC4HBD–Newcomen steam engine invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712. It consisted of a pump designed to reduce water steam in the galleries of mines. Engraving.

RM2BE10BA–The atmospheric engine invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712, often referred to simply as a Newcomen engine, was the first practical device to harness the power of steam to produce mechanical work. Newcomen engines were used throughout Britain and Europe, principally to pump water out of mines, starting in the early 18th century. James Watt's later Watt steam engine was an improved version of the Newcomen engine. As a result, Watt is today better known than Newcomen in relation to the origin of the steam engine. Thomas Newcomen (February 1664 - August 5, 1729) was an English inventor, ironmonger

RM2RB44WP–An old engraving of Newcomen’s engine. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. The atmospheric engine (Newcomen or Newcomen fire engine) was invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712. The engine was operated by condensing steam drawn into the cylinder, thereby creating a partial vacuum which allowed the atmospheric pressure to push the piston into the cylinder. It was the first practical device to harness steam to produce mechanical power. Newcomen engines were used throughout the UK and Europe in the 1700s, principally to pump water out of mines.

Thomas Newcomen (1664-1729) an English inventor who created the first practical steam engine in 1712. Dated 19th century

RM2HBEJ1P–An old engraving of the Watt double-action steam engine of the mid-1700s. It is from a Victorian book of the 1890s on discoveries and inventions during the era. Alternatively known as the Boulton and Watt steam engine, it was an early steam engine, a vast improvement on the Thomas Newcomen 1712 design, and was one of the driving forces of the Industrial Revolution. James Watt developed the design from 1763 to 1775 with support from Matthew Boulton. In 1765 Watt had the idea of equipping the engine with a separate condensation chamber, which he called a ‘condenser’ (here bottom right).

RMRJR2AW–James Watt (1736-1819) was a Scottish inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist who improved on Thomas Newcomen's 1712 Newcomen steam engine with his Watt steam engine in 1776, which was fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both his native Great Britain and the rest of the world. His improvements to the steam engine 'converted it from a prime mover of marginal efficiency into the mechanical workhorse of the Industrial Revolution'.
