Humanity witnessed portable engines in everyday use from early 19th century onward to early 20th centuries across developed nations during an era when machinery transmission was widespread everywhere. Beforehand, majority of power production and transmission happened through animals, water resources, wind forces, or humans themselves; afterwards, a blend of electrification, incorporating rural electrification initiatives, along with cutting-edge vehicles, heavy equipment such as tractors, pickup trucks, cars, engine-generators, and sophisticated machinery that have their engines built right into them dislodged portable engines' dominance for the most part. In underdeveloped nations currently, portable engines still retain some practical application, mostly appearing in form of state-of-the-art compact engines bolted onto flat surfaces; nonetheless, aforementioned modern advancements increasingly suppress demand for such machines even in these parts. In developed countries now, they serve no purpose outside recreational use, but vintage replicas often can be found driving compatible equipment to showcase purposes at steam festivals all the time.
