how Steam Engines work:
There were many inventions during the industrialism but, I believe that the best one that is still affecting America today is steam engines. They were used in almost about everything. They were used in trains, some boats, and also almost every machine that needed power during this time era.
A person puts coal into a fire Chamber that heats up the water Then further putting coal in the
Chamber then engine locomotive Blows and the engine operator
Starts the engine and they go.

who invented the steam engine:
Edward somerset the 2nd was one of the inventors of one of the first steam engine models in the 1600's. He got a 99 year patent against is invention. and he died on April 3rd 1667.
another inventor
Thomas Savery was another inventor of the steam engine that changed America forever. He was in the military as a engineer and he patented the first steam engine. Thomas Savery was working on solving the problem of pumping water of a coal mine, his machine consisted of a closed vessel filled with water in which steam under pressure was introduced. This forced the water upwards and out of the mine shaft. A cold water sprinkler was used to condense the steam. This created a vacuum which sucked more water out of the mine shaft through a bottom valve in the steam engine.
How was steam engines a turning point in history:
Steam engines were a huge turning point in history first off they were built and used in many transportation mechanisms such as trains, and boats which made shipping and transportation
easier and faster. It also was used for cooking on certain kind of steam powered stoves. Also they are still used in modern day society in trains and other things, also without steam engines we might not be where we are today with certain advances from the steam engine transportation is faster and much more reliable than when the first steam engine was made.
Before we had the steam engine when we where only able to use our ships under certain conditions but with the steam engine we could use our boats almost anytime we want to which means that shipping and transportation among a body of water will be much easier to do and also we will be able to ship more goods over seas because before we could only ship certain days a year.
