The steam would be transferred from the boiler to the cylinder through a pipe causing a piston to move up and down creating energy. Workers would fill up a boiler with water, and a fire would then heat the boiler making steam. The steam engine was used to provide mechanical power by using steam created by the engine. At the time, steam engines were one of the most powerful pieces of machinery used in the mines. He had been given this model by an organization that used these steam engines to pump water out of coal mines to make it easier to mine. One afternoon in the year 1764, Watt had been repairing a model of the Newcomen steam engine originally made by Thomas Newcomen in the year 1712. Portrait of James Watt in 1972 | Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons It wasn’t until 1765 that he began one of his most successful accomplishments in his life: creating the most efficient steam engine anybody had ever seen. Later in life, in the year 1755, he traveled to London where he met his master to train him in mathematical practices, design, and building. Watt traveled to Glasgow, where he then worked at the University of Glasgow as a mathematical instrument maker. 1 To make that happen, Watt needed to travel to Glasgow where he would fulfill his goal. He wanted to become a mathematical instrument maker.
At the age of seventeen years old, Watt had decided what he wanted to do with his life. James Watt was born on January 30, 1736, and he always had an interest in creating and innovating new things.

STEAM ENGINE INVENTOR PORTABLE
In 1808, Trevithick's Portable Steam Engine was displayed on a circular track in central London. In 1804, Trevithick unveiled a steam-powered engine capable of hauling 10 tons of iron for 10 miles. Iron-enforced wooden rails called tramways had been built for horses to pull carts of coal. It's important to note that train tracks already existed in the 1770s in various industrial areas of England. The man behind the Cornish Engine, Richard Trevithick, was also a key individual in the development of the steam locomotive. But while the research and development of steam-powered cars continued for some time, the idea was most successful in the form of the rail-mounted steam locomotive. While some believe Ferdinand Verbiest created a working steam car in 1672, more evidence suggests French inventor Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot made the first steam-powered vehicle in 1769. Inventors were working on designs for steam-powered cars even as the first steam pumps were fine-tuned in the late 1600s.
