Steam Engine

Steam engine is a type of engine which uses steam as its working fluid. It uses the force produced by the steam pressure to push a piston back and forth inside a cylinder. Then, the pushing force is transformed, by a connecting rod and a flywheel, into a rotational force for work. The flywheel is connected with a machine being powered through gears and toothed belts.
