No, he invented the steam boat. James Watt is often credited for inventing the steam engine but he only greatly improved Thomas Newcomen's model.
The invention of the steam engine is often credited to James Watt, who made significant improvements to earlier designs in the late 18th century, greatly enhancing its efficiency and practicality. However, the concept of steam power predates Watt, with earlier developments by inventors like Thomas Newcomen and Denis Papin. Watt's innovations, including the separate condenser, were pivotal in the widespread adoption of steam engines during the Industrial Revolution.
No, Elijah McCoy did not invent the steam engine. He is best known for inventing a lubrication device that improved the efficiency of steam engines. His automatic lubricator allowed engines to run longer without stopping for maintenance, significantly enhancing their performance. McCoy's innovations were crucial in the development of steam technology, but he did not create the steam engine itself.
No. The first steam engine was patented by Thomas Savery in 1698. Thomas Newcomen improved the design and invented the first atmospheric and grossly inefficient, steam engine mine pump in 1712. James Watt was born in 1736 and is credited with the invention of the 'modern' steam engine that helped bring about the industrial revolution.

Steam 1672, but Karl Benz is credited with inventing first modern internal combustion engine design in 1885.
William Murdoch invented the oscillating cylinder steam engine, the steam gum, and the pneumatic tube message system. He is also credited with inventing gas lighting. He built the first prototype of a steam locomotive in 1784.

Thomas Savory is credited with the first patented Steam engine in 1679
Hero, was credited with making the first steam engine, sometime in the first century, though it was mostly a novelty. Thomas Newcomen is generally credited with building the first practical steam pumping engine in 1712.
It was James Watt who is credited with inventing the modern steam engine. The concept of the electric kettle was not invented by a single individual, but it evolved over time with contributions from various inventors and engineers.
Thomas Edison is credited with inventing the lightbulb.
George Stephenson became famous for inventing the safety lamp and steam engine.
