thomas savery
the first commercial steam-powered device was a water pump, developed in 1698 by thomas savery. it used condensing steam to create a vacuum which raised water from below and then used steam pressure to raise it higher. small engines were effective though larger models were problematic. they had a limited lift height and were prone to boiler explosions. savery's engine was used in mines, pumping stations and supplying water to water wheels that powered textile machinery. savery engine was of low cost. bento de moura portugal introduced an improvement of savery's construction "to render it capable of working itself", as described by john smeaton in the philosophical transactions published in 1751. it continued to be manufactured until the late 18th century. one engine was still known to be operating in 1820.
