Watt steam engine

The Watt steam engine, developed by James Watt in the late 18th century, significantly improved earlier steam engines. It used steam to create pressure that moved a piston, which then turned a wheel to generate mechanical power. Watt introduced a separate condenser, which made the engine more efficient by allowing the steam to cool and condense without losing heat. This innovation reduced fuel consumption and enabled industries to operate machinery more effectively. The Watt steam engine played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution by powering factories, locomotives, and ships, transforming transportation and production processes.
