Water-cooled Electric Engine
Dutch scientist Christian Huygens produces the first know heat engine from his inspiration of a cannonn. what he did was place a cannon vertically, and used a piston instead of a cannonball. The cannon had exhaust valves near the top and the piston was attached to a weight by means of rope and pulley. He calculated that a .5 kg of gun powder could lift 1360 kg piston over nine meters. But the absence of a reliable fuel hampered its development.
