A beam engine is an early type of steam engine that uses a rotating beam to transfer motion to other machinery, such as pumps or mills. These engines were widely used in the 18th and 19th centuries for various industrial applications and are considered an important invention in the development of modern technology. The beam engine's operation is based on the conversion of steam pressure into mechanical force by means of a sliding or stationary piston within a cylinder.
