Steam Engine (Obitchuary, James Watts)

In 1776 an English inventor James Watt created a practical steam engine, he improved on earlier designs of the steam engine. In the engine Watts created he made it so heated water created steam, then the steam created pressure that moved pistons, a piston is a machine that moves up and down. Pistons are found helpful around all machines from small looms to giant locomotives.
