what is the technology in the savery engine, simple answer

1 answer

The Savery engine, developed by Thomas Savery in 1698, is an early steam engine that uses steam pressure to pump water. Its technology involves heating water to create steam, which then expands and pushes against a piston or directly elevates water. It primarily relies on the principles of steam pressure and vacuum to operate. However, it had limitations, such as being unable to generate high pressure and not fully utilizing the steam cycle effectively.
