I need to research an inventor for a discussion tomorrow, and I have no idea who to pick. I can't come up with anything that isn't too obvious/generic.

William Murdoch?
Hero of Alexandria?
Emmett Brown?
Wernher von Braun?

Gilbert Toyne (inventor of the rotary washing line, and only that. Not an interesting invention but he was pretty interesting himself)?
Jean Lenoir/Nikolaus Otto for the combustion engine?

There's also the Chinese inventors, but their accounts tend to be apocryphal.

I know of very few Chinese inventions, to be honest. Paper, explosives, rockets, complex models of orbital motions and stuff.

Tesla

[MaximumZero]

Everyone knows who Tesla is. The founder of computer programming could use more love.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Not everyone knows what he invented though



Ahem
Ac electricity generator
A wireless charging tower that works for whole cities (giant tesla coil)
A junebug powered pinwheel (childhood invention)
Half of Edison's stuff
Halogen light bulbs
Many many many more things

Alexander the Great was awesome.

He was a gay egomaniac who named dozens of cities "Alexandria", after himself.

+1 Ada.

...

Also Ernest Rutherford, if you like physics. Edmund Hillary was pretty awesome. He climbed a mountain or something, I forget.

Edison, so you can shit all over him.

[Graknorke]

It hurts when I breathe inwards. Think I strained my intercostal muscles or something.

Edison was the biggest of dicks. Tesla was BEST
