Steam Engine |

| Harnessing the power of steam marked a highly significant step in technology and the introduction of the steam engine led to many new inventions in transport and industry. Steam engines were built as early as 1690, but it was not until 70 years later that James Watt arrived at the design of the modern steam engine, paving the way for the Industrial Revolution. | ||||||
