There have been a number of hoaxes, claiming the invention of water-powered engines. No water powered engine has successfully been invented to the point of getting a patent. Conspiracy theorists believe that there is a global suppression surrounding the idea of creating a successful water fuel cell or fully water powered engine.
Sir Richard Arkwright (23 December 1732 – 3 August 1792) was an English inventor and a leading entrepreneur during the early Industrial Revolution.He is credited as the driving force behind the development of the spinning frame, known as the water frame after it was adapted to use water power; and he patented a rotary carding engine to convert raw cotton to 'cotton lap' prior to spinning.
The water engine is a positive-displacement engine, often closely resembling a steam engine with similar pistons and valves, that is driven by water pressure. The supply of water is derived from a natural head of water , the water mains , or a specialised high-pressure water supply such as that once provided by the London Hydraulic Power Company .
The construction of water works and aspects of water technology in South Asia is described in Arabic and Persian works. [124] During medieval times, the diffusion of South Asian and Persian irrigation technologies gave rise to an advanced irrigation system which bought about growth and also helped in the growth of material culture.

Stepwell – While the early history of stepwells is poorly understood, water structures in Western India were their likely predecessor. [9] The three features of stepwells in the subcontinent are evident from one particular site, abandoned by 2500 BCE, which combines a bathing pool, steps leading down to water, and figures of some religious ...
Jugaad (Hindustani: जुगाड़ jugaaḍ / جگاڑ jugaaṛ ()) is a concept of non-conventional, frugal innovation in the Indian subcontinent. [1] It also includes innovative fixes or simple workarounds, solutions that bend the rules, or resources that can be used in such a way.
Mar. 2—It may seem like a recent trend for more women to be entering STEM fields, but women have a long history of contributing to innovations in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
1807 – Nicéphore Niépce and his brother Claude build a fluid piston internal combustion engine, the Pyréolophore and use it to power a boat up the river Saône. 1816 – Robert Stirling invented his hot air Stirling engine, and what we now call a "regenerator". [5] [6] 1821 – Michael Faraday builds an electricity-powered motor.
