Who invented the first steam engine?

Question:


Answers:

Do you love cars? Do you love to drive?

Heron (or Hero) invented the first steam engine in around AD 52 in Alexandria, Egypt. He is best known as a mathematician and geometer but was also a visionary inventor and his 'aeolopile' or 'wind-ball' was the first working steam engine. Using the same principle as jet propulsion, a steam driven metal sphere spun around at 1,500 RPM. Unfortuanately, no-one could see a practical purpose for it and it was regarded as nothing more than an amusing novelty.

The answer given by H.Potter is correct,but the first answer that was given about George Stevenson fails to take into account the difference between a steam engine and a steam locomotive,neither of which was invented by him.The steam road locomotive (1801),and the steam rail locomotive (1804),were both invented by Mr.Richard Trevithick;(lovely old Cornish name).

Actually I think it was those pesky greeks again.
They had a very simple steam engine that was basically a ball with two pipes coming from it.
When water in the ball was heated, steam came out of the pipes and spun the ball around.a very early steam and jet engine.

Can I use a rental car to have to drving test at CT?or Can borrow a car from driving shcool?

South_Cheshire_Cat is quite right, it was the Greeks ... in fact Hero of Alexandria ... that invented the first proper steam engine. This consisted of a boiler which was connected to a suspended, hollow metal ball which 'vented' through two angled pipes on opposite sides. A fire was lit under the boiler forcing steam into the ball. The steam then escaped the ball through the metal tubes causing the ball to rotate. This action is similar to many modern lawn sprinklers and the device subsequently became known as a steam turbine.
