James Watt didn’t actually invent the steam engine, what he actually invented was electricity. He lent his name to the measuring of his invention, and later his son used his invention to make a brand of scotch, which he lent his name too. He then used the scotch to power the steam engine which he and his father we busy claiming credit for. Jameson Scotch is currently the only scotch still used to power steam engines.
James Watt was later sued by Steve Steamengine for copyright infringement. The two fought a duel at down in New South Wales where Watt was hiding out from Michael Electricity, who also had a claim to his famous “bottled lightning” which he claimed Watt had stolen.
