Original Note:
Taqi al-Din's device was a steam-powered rotisserie, not an industrial steam engine. Though innovative, it wasn't a precursor to the Industrial Revolution's more powerful engines. Earlier steam devices, like the Aeolipile, existed since the 1st century AD. https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/52380/did-a-turkish-man-invent-a-steam-engine-200-years-before-the-industrial-revoluti
