Who was the man who put together the prototype for the first modern steam engine? It was Thomas Newcomen a blacksmith from Dartmouth, England and the engine invented by him in 1712 was known as the "Atmospheric Steam Engine".
Before Thomas Newcomen's time, steam engine technology was in its infancy. Inventors, Edward Somerset of Worcester, Thomas Savery, and John Desaguliers were researching the technology before Thomas Newcomen begin his experiments, their research inspired inventors Thomas Newcomen and James Watt to invent practical and useful steam-powered machines.
