The Oldest Steam Engine In The World--- ( Newcomen beam engine )
Fairbottom Bobs is a Newcomen-type beam engine that was made around 1710 and used in the 18th century as a pumping engine to drain a colliery near Ashton-under-Lyne England. It is probably the world's second-oldest surviving steam engine.[i] The engine was installed at Cannel Colliery at Fairbottom near Ashton-under-Lyne around 1760 --- It was taken to the henry ford museum michigan in 1929

A Scottish Newcomen Engine
A short film showing the Caprington Colliery Newcomen type atmospheric pumping engine in action at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. The engine is currently put in motion by hydraulics but was originally powered by steam at a low pressure which was condensed inside the cylinder to create a vacuum. Atmospheric pressure then pushed the piston down, raising the pump rods via the overhead rocking beam.
Mechanical wonders - The engines that changed the world
One man's 30-year quest to reproduce in miniature the atmospheric engines powered by steam that powered Britain's industrial revolution.
Since 1974, David Hulse has worked to create working models in minute detail of the engines of Thomas Newcomen, James Watt, James Pickard, Matthew Wasborough, Francis Thompson and Richard Trevithick.
The Smethwick Engine 2012, with subtitles
The Smethwick Engine was built by James Watt around 1779 and is the world's oldest working steam engine. Once used to pump water through the canal system in Birmingham, it is now an icon of the industrial revolution. Due to the age of the engine, it can only be powered by steam a few times a year and this is one of those occasions in April 2012. The commentary that you can hear is by Dr Jim Andrew, one of the leading experts on the operations and history of the Smethwick Engine.
Newcomen Atmospheric Engine
John Child’s working model of a Newcomen Atmospheric Engine.
It was Thomas Newcomen who designed and built the first practical working steam engine in 1712; his invention changed the world. There is surprisingly very little known about Newcomen as a person and his first engine.
He was born 1664 in Dartmouth, Devon, to a merchant family eventually becoming an ironmonger by trade and a Baptist lay preacher. Newcomen and his partner John Calley built the first successful engine in the vicinity of Conygree Coalworks near Dudley in the West Midlands, the exact location has still to be defined.
It was most likely built from an eclectic mix of parts available to Newcomen as part of his ironmongery business; bits of scrap and allsorts, a BSA, but it worked. So why is it when people think of steam engines, the name James Watt springs to mind?
Newcomen was just an everyday practical hands on guy, he was not a member of the intellectual elite, the ‘intelligentsia’ who had always been ready to attribute bright moves by ‘their inferiors’ to other people. There is a myth that the intelligentsia explained away Newcomen’s discovery as an act of god. You do indeed question their ability to learn facts and skills and apply them, especially when this ability is highly developed.
You only have to read about John Harrison, and the obstacles carefully placed in his path of discovery by the academic elite while working on the development of the marine chronometer, a long-sought after device for solving the problem of establishing longitude.
John Child built this working model of a Newcomen Atmospheric Engine, and he bought it along to the Florette Festival Market in Lichfield in July 2015, for display on the stand of the Lichfield Waterworks Trust (the friends of Sandfields Pumping Station), it is a joy to behold.
John is a highly skilled engineer and an everyday, practical hands on guy. His model Newcomen engine is built from an eclectic mix of parts that you would find in any ironmongery shop. There are parts of locks, door handles, ceiling roses, baked bean tins, hopper heads and amplifiers, but it works.
By a strange coincidence, it was when James Watt, who was an instrument maker at the time, was trying to repair a broken model Newcomen engine and accidently allowed some melting solder let cold water into the cylinder, thus creating an instantaneous vacuum. An act of god?
Watt quickly realised the energy efficiency saving that could be made, by not have the cylinder cycle through hot to cold on each stroke, and the rest is history, or so it seems....
A very special thanks’ to John Child for ringing his amazing steam engine to Lichfield.
