RM2BE10BA–The atmospheric engine invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712, often referred to simply as a Newcomen engine, was the first practical device to harness the power of steam to produce mechanical work. Newcomen engines were used throughout Britain and Europe, principally to pump water out of mines, starting in the early 18th century. James Watt's later Watt steam engine was an improved version of the Newcomen engine. As a result, Watt is today better known than Newcomen in relation to the origin of the steam engine. Thomas Newcomen (February 1664 - August 5, 1729) was an English inventor, ironmonger

RM2RB44WP–An old engraving of Newcomen’s engine. It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. The atmospheric engine (Newcomen or Newcomen fire engine) was invented by Thomas Newcomen in 1712. The engine was operated by condensing steam drawn into the cylinder, thereby creating a partial vacuum which allowed the atmospheric pressure to push the piston into the cylinder. It was the first practical device to harness steam to produce mechanical power. Newcomen engines were used throughout the UK and Europe in the 1700s, principally to pump water out of mines.
