James Watt taught himself engineering and at age 27 he invented the modern steam engine. Watt was inspired by a pot of tea he was boiling, as the lid of the kettle would move when excessive heat had built up. Watt realized that steam power may have the ability to be harnessed to complete work. Building upon a design already in existence which used steam to drive a piston to pump water out of mines, Watt revolutionized the machine by adding gears and wheels. Early steam engines only pump up and d...
