Like eggbeater, street mailbox, ironing board, street sweeper, pencil sharpener, dust pan, gas mask, fountain pen, golf tee, torpedo, automatic car wash, turn signals, answering machine and traffic lights.
Or how about a microcomputer system with bus control means for peripheral processing devices. Or finding by separating the liquid red blood cells from the near solid plasma and freezing the two separately, blood could be preserved. Or how to synthesize physostigmine for treatment of glaucoma and cortisone for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Or how to remove cataract lenses and transform eye surgery, using a laser device making the procedure more accurate. Or an illusion transmitter which transmits by cable or electromagnetic means a three-dimensional, real-time image. Then there's fire-extinguishing foam for gasoline and oil fires, polymer foil-electrets for microphones but most important of all BEER KEG TAPS.

John Lee Love of Fall River, MA designed the "Love Sharpener." Love's invention was the very simple, portable pencil sharpener that many artists use. The pencil is put into the opening of the sharpener and rotated by hand, and the shavings stay inside the sharpener. Love's sharpener was patented on November 23, 1897 (U.S. Patent # 594,114). Quote:

The Morgan traffic signal was a T-shaped pole unit that featured three positions: Stop, Go and an all-directional stop position. This "third position" halted traffic in all directions to allow pedestrians to cross streets more safely. Garrett Morgan's hand-cranked semaphore traffic management device was in use throughout North America until all manual traffic signals were replaced by the automatic red, yellow and green-light traffic signals currently used around the world. The inventor sold the rights to his traffic signal to the General Electric Corporation for $40,000. Shortly before his death, in 1963, Garrett Morgan was awarded a citation for his traffic signal by the United States Government. Quote:
You left a out quite a few other things as well, but more to the point is the fact that it's you and I having this conversation and not the person(s) who started the whole thing.

There are some people that are intelligent, and some people that are not, but can fool people into believing that they are.
You are neither. |
