Who improved the steam engine and helped speed up the Industrial Revolution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: James Watt
James Watt made important improvements to the steam engine, especially by developing a separate condenser that reduced wasted energy. These improvements made steam power more efficient and useful in factories, mines, and transport. Thomas Newcomen had developed an earlier practical engine, so Watt did not invent the steam engine from nothing. Darwin, Smith, and Galileo worked in other fields.
