Steam power

The discovery and development of steam power were pivotal marking the beginning of the discovery of Science. The concept of using steam to perform mechanical work was not new but that more practical applications began to emerge.

The key development of steam power was a steam pump designed to remove water from mines. However, it was the Rock Gnome, Drugen Wobblejammer who, in 380 AS, developed the first commercially successful steam engine. This engine used a piston and cylinder to create motion from steam pressure, significantly improving the efficiency of pumping water out of mines.

The most notable advancement came from Thomas Ferrald, who made substantial improvements to the Wobblejammer engine in the 400s and 410s. Ferrald's innovations, including the separate condenser, greatly increased the efficiency and practicality of steam engines. This allowed steam power to be applied to a wide range of industrial uses, revolutionizing manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture. The widespread adoption of steam power fundamentally transformed society, enabling unprecedented economic growth and technological progress.
