What Is the Aeolipile | First Steam Engine

We are digging deep in our video vault to look back at some highlights from the Steam Culture archives. Fresh new content is coming soon, but in the meantime enjoy this flashback episode.

On this episode of Steam Culture, Brent will be talking about Hero's steam creation, the Aeolipile. Hero was a famous engineer and mathematician in ancient Rome. The Aeolipile is considered to be the first use of steam pressure to create mechanical movement and was even used as a source of entertainment for the emperor of Rome in the first century.

Tune in every Friday to see how steam affects your everyday life.
