1712 - Newcomen Steam Engine

In 1712, Thomas Newcomen together with John Calley built their first steam engine on top of a water filled mine shaft and used it to pump water out of the mine. The Newcomen steam engine was the predecessor to the Watt steam engine and it was one of the most interesting discoveries of technology developed during the 1700s. The invention of engines was very important to the industrial revolution.
