Steam Powers the Revolution Most efficient steam engine invented by James Watt Steam power meant factories no longer had to be near water Steam locomotives Steamships developed by Robert Fulton Development of Steam Engine Steam engines needed large amounts of fuel to heat water Wood was scarce Coal mining industry boomed Mining was very dangerous Coal for Steam Engines

Make Generalizations What impact did the steam engine have on the growth of British industry? Answer(s): factories could be located away from rivers, powered locomotives and ships, led to development of coal as a resource, more factories built near coal mines
