Well directly a water powered engine hasn't yet been invented, but indirectly it has. By putting H2O through electrolysis you can separate its two components into H(2) and O. The hydrogen can then be used to fuel a hydrogen fuel cell engine while the Oxygen will be emitted harmlessly into the atmosphere. after the engine uses the Hydrogen, it will dispose of it and the hydrogen can effectively react with the Oxygen in the atmosphere to re create water. this water can be recycled to begin the process again and in theory, you could create an engine with infinite power on as little as a gallon of water.

yes, you probably can. you might need a car builder and a scientist.
Before steam engines came into use, travel on land was mostly powered by horse. On water, it was mostly powered by wind.
The first person to build a gas engine was built by Daimler or Karl Benz.
They are either powered by a turbine engine like a jet engine or a piston engine.
They used strong, light, and flexible material. The plane was powered by a simple four cylinder engine.
The first practical steam-powered 'engine' was a water pump, developed in 1698 by Thomas Savery.

Airplane is a device powered either by a piston engine and prop or by a jet engine.
Making an engine that runs on water has been a dream for a long time. However, steam engines use water in a different way for power. A water powered car is probably far in the future.
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.
Robert Fulton was the creator of The Steam Powered Engine Boat.
