The steam-engine was developed by many engineers, but once established it was subject simply to further improvements in efficiency. Power output is a factor of the purpose for which an engine is designed, so no-one "invented a more powerful steam engine". If you mean "who made the largest contribution to developing the steam engine", then that must be James Watt, who was the first to analyse how the machine actually works and how to overcome the largest inefficiencies in the engines built at the time, which were solely for operating mine-drainage pumps. Watt also invented the Sun-&-Planet drive to allow the engines which hitherto had been purely reciprocating in action, to revolve drive-shafts (the crank had been invented but patented by someone else - sorry, I forget who!). He is credited with the first type of engine-indicator, used to measure the pressure-cycle in the cylinder hence calculate the power developed within the cylinder, and the thermal efficiency of the machine - important in improving fuel consumption. Watt also devised from numerous experiments the horse-power as a measure of power, so customers of his company, Boulton & Watt, could assess the machines they needed for their purposes, which at that time chiefly driving factory machinery. The international standard unit of power is the Watt, in James Watt's honour, and 1Watt = 1Joule/second conversion of energy. One HP = 746 W - in practice 750 is usually close enough. So no-one invented a "more powerful" engine, but many invented improvements and variations.

James watt invention?
James Watt's invention was the steam engine but more improved.
Was James watt famous?
yes, he invented the steam engineHe improved the steam engine and made it more efficient he did not invent it.
Did james watt invent the steam train?
Nope, James Watt inproved the steam engine by comming up with a seperate condenser to avoid the massive waste of energy making it way more efficient, more cost- effective and more powerful. His engine was used in some of the first steam trains though.
Why was the steam engine invented in 1712?
It was invented to replace a water pump (Savery's pump) that pumped water out of mines. The idea was that it would operated faster and more efficiently.
When was the first automotive engine invented?
I believe that the first "engine" was a steam powered engine which was originally used in the coal mines to pump out water as well as to move out the coal... If you don't know. A steam powered engine uses a special process of heated water, hence the word steam, which is controlled by valves. the original steam powered engine, the pressure was to both sides of the piston as was used for trains... I guess I answered more the what than the when... so for the when, I believe that Ford used the first mass produced engine in 1907, but gasoline engines were invented in, I think, 1896.
Was the steam engine invented in the south?
South of where? Excepting the Ancient Greek philosopher Hero's simple reaction-turbine (little more than a toy whose potential was not realisable then), the steam-engine as a prime-mover for factory & mine equipment and for road & rail vehicles, was invented and developed in Britain, though the 18C French inventor Cugnot was the first to try a road steam-powered vehicle.
What did James watt invent and when?
James Watt invented the modern steam engine in the late 18th century, which was a pivotal advancement in the Industrial Revolution. His improvements to the steam engine made it more efficient and played a significant role in powering machinery and transportation during that era.
Is a v8 engine powerful?
Yes, extremely! The higher the number the more powerful the engine is.
Why is a hydrogen engine more powerful than a petrol engine?
As hydrogen releases more energy than petrol, H engine is more powerful than petrol .
What did jemes watt invent in 1765?
James Watt invented the steam engine in 1765, which was a significant advancement in the Industrial Revolution. Watt's improvements to the steam engine made it more efficient and practical for various industrial applications, leading to significant advancements in manufacturing and transportation.
How powerful is crate engine?
Crate engines can provide power to any type of car. A crate engine is very powerful. A crate engine is much more powerful than a regular engine as it produces much more horsepower.
Who invented the early steam engine and when?
During the first century AD, Greek mathematician Hero of Alexandria described the first *recorded) steam engine called the aeolipile. Over the next centuries numerous engines powered by steam were created, notably a steam turbine described by Taqi al-Din (1551) and Giovanni Branca (1629). Similarly, Denis Papin inventred the steam digester (1679), first piston steam engine (1690), first practical steam engine was a water pump invented by Thomas Savery (1698). The first steam engine that was commercially successful appeared in 1712 which combine the works and ideas of many that had come before it in an engine developed by Thomas Newcomen. This was the model that helped spur on the Industrial Revolution. James Watt improved upon Newcomen's model from 1763 to 1775 and created the Early Watt pumping engine, which was more efficent and further accelerated the Industrial Revolution.
