Synopsis

This book examines the contentious history of the invention of the steam engine. The author asserts that several inventors have been overlooked or undervalued, specifically highlighting the contributions of inventors such as Hautefeuille, Guisom, and Roman over more popularly attributed figures like Savery, Newcomen, and Watt. The book goes on to analyze the development of steam power in chronological order and provides a detailed examination of the various ideas that contributed to this groundbreaking technology. The author argues that the invention of the steam engine was a collaborative effort with no singular inventor, and provides a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in the history of engineering and mechanics.
