Info On The Go
Steam Engines and how they changed the world
On this episode of Info on the Go, we’re firing up history’s most transformative invention—the steam engine.
From ancient Greek curiosity to industrial workhorse, the steam engine powered revolutions in more ways than one. We'll take you step-by-step through how it works, from boiling water in a pressure-filled boiler to turning pistons, wheels, and eventually, the gears of modern life.
We’ll travel back to the 1st century with Hero of Alexandria’s spinning steam sphere, explore the innovations of Denis Papin and Thomas Newcomen, and witness how James Watt’s genius turned steam from a mining tool into the driving force behind factories, railroads, and steamships. You'll also hear how it reshaped global trade, migration, agriculture—and even the way we tell time.
Whether it was hauling coal through English collieries or passengers across the U.S., steam engines quite literally moved the world. Oh—and yes, we’ll explain why Spain eats dinner so late. (Spoiler: it's political and steam-related!)
So buckle up and grab your time tables—because this journey is full steam ahead.
