It is basically a machine that converts heat, steam energy into mechanical energy. It passes the steam into a cylinder, then pushes a piston back and forth. When the piston is moving ,  that is when the machine is doing work. The piston was located inside the cylinder. The cylinder is a long ,skinny closed chamber. A piston is the sliding piece that fits in the chamber, it was used to create motion instead of a vacuum. Steam would then fill the cylinder from an open valve. Once the valve was filled the cylinder was sprayed with water. The steam inside condensed into water and created a vacuum. Then the outside pressure forced the piston down, producing a power stroke. The piston is connected to the beam, which is then connected to a water pump at the bottom of the mine to a pump rod. After they all work together, the piston is to help the water pumps suck up water. 
Watt then came up with a more important modification. The steam was condensed separately from the cylinder, but it would always be kept hot. His design for the steam engine had a separate condenser and sealed cylinders. His new machine would work without a long pause to reheat the cylinder. Over the next 15 years Watt kept modifying and improving the engine. He introduced his engine to the governor, it was a device that could control steam input and speed of an engine. The engine worked rapidly to deliver power both upwards and downwards.

It was used to help get trains moving at a faster pace. It helped by getting more advanced as years went on and more inventors helped get the engine up to date. The engine sparked new ideas from inventors and put some of its parts and other parts to create other inventions that help out today’s society. ]]> 2019-01-25 15:24:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mertensd058/vjrj8iu43bkc/wish/324356134
