A steam-powered rotary engine is provided in which a rotor arm assembly and an outer ring are positioned such that steam ejected from outlets at the two ends of the rotor arm assembly will impact at a substantially right angle onto steps or depressions formed on the inner portion of the outer ring. Both the rotor arm assembly and the outer ring are mounted or supported in a freely rotatable manner on a housing or frame. The ejection of the steam from the rotor arm causes the rotor arm to rotate in a direction opposite the direction of travel of the exiting steam. The reaction of the steam impacting the steps causes the outer ring to rotate in a direction opposite the direction of rotation of the rotor arm. Power take-off devices are provided to use the rotational movement of the rotor arm and the outer ring to generate electricity.
