thomas newcomen and thomas savery
Thomas Newcomen (1664-1729) is often regarded as the inventor, but he worked in partnership with Thomas Savery (c. 1760-1715), who had already built a steam 'engine' of sorts in 1698. However, as Savery's invention had no moving parts it's seldom counted as an engine. The first steam engine with moving parts was built in 1712 and was designed purely to pump water out of mines.th -
