Best Answer

The paddlewheel meant to generate energy was probably invented soon after the wheel was invented.

Paddle wheel boats powered by steam came along a little later.

There's evidence that ancient Egypt and Greece had steamboats. Leonardo da vinci drew plans for steam engines.

However, most people say it John Fitch or Robert Fulton invented steamboats.
