The Greeks had impressive gears as well. I suppose one could write a steampunk novel of a Hellenistic Age with fully developed power sources (steam) and computers (differential engines).

First steam powered vehicle as I’ve read it was in France, early 1700s.

intersting !! although the device pictured doesnt really look like it qualifies as a “steam engine” in the modern sense.

Nice! I haven’t looked at those drawings, in years. First time I came across them was reading the descriptions & seeing those illustrations in grammar school, back about 1957-59. Always loved Hero & his singing birds, whirling spheres, and other goodies.

I’d like to find a small (5-10 hp) wood fired steam engine that could drive a generator. All the ones I can find are toys.
