The words "steam engine" often conjure images of steam locomotives or Stanley Steamer cars, but these machines have many more uses than transportation. Steam engines, which were first created in primitive forms around two millennia ago, have become major power sources in the past three centuries, with steam turbines now producing 80 percent or more of the world's electrical energy. To gain a greater understanding of the physical forces at work in a steam engine, build your own steam engine with common home materials using one of the methods in this article! See Step 1 below to get started. | The words "steam engine" often conjure images of steam locomotives or Stanley Steamer cars, but these machines have many more uses than transportation.
