Heron of Alexandria
10 -- 70 AD
Was a mathematician and engineer who flourished in Alexandria, Roman Egypt and is said to be the greatest experimenter of antiquity

Among his most famous inventions were the first documented steam-powered device, the aeolipile, and a windwheel, constituting one the earliest instances of wind harnessing.

He is said to have been a follower of the Atomists. Some of his ideas were derived from the works of Ctesibius.
