Who Are The 10 Greatest Inventors Of All Time?
We owe a lot to these men, they improved our quality of life.
Thomas Edison (1847 – 1931) American inventor who filed over 1,000 patents. He developed and innovated a wide range of products from the electric light bulb to the phonograph and motion picture camera. One of the greatest inventors of all time.
Nikola Tesla (1856 –1943) – American Physicist who invented fluorescent lighting, the Tesla coil, the induction motor, and 3-phase electricity and AC electricity.
The Wright Brothers (1871-1948) American inventors who successfully designed, built and flew the first powered aircraft in 1903.
John Logie Baird (1888 – 1946) – Scottish inventor who invented the television and the first recording device.
Alan Turing (1912 – 1954) – English 20th century mathematician, pioneer of computer science. He developed the Turing machine, capable of automating processes - the earliest computer! It could be adapted to simulate the logic of any computer algorithm.
Tim Berners Lee (1955- ) – English computer scientist. Tim Berners Lee is credited with inventing the World Wide Web, which enabled the internet to display websites viewable on internet browsers. He developed
the http:// protocol for the internet, and made the world wide web freely available.
Alexander Bell (1847 – 1922) – Scottish scientist credited with inventing the first practical telephone. Also worked on optical telecommunications, aeronautics and hydrofoils.
Benjamin Franklin (1705 – 1790) American polymath who discovered electricity and invented the Franklin stove, lighting rod and bifocals. Franklin was also an American statesman and influential figure in the development of modern America.
Leonardo Da Vinci (1452 – 1519) – Italian artist, scientist and polymath. Da Vinci invented a huge range of machines and drew models that proved workable 3-500 years later. These included prototype parachutes, tanks, flying machines and single span bridges. More practical inventions included an optical lens grinder and various hydraulic machine
Karl Benz (1844–1929), German inventor and businessman. Benz developed the petrol-powered car. In 1879, Benz received his first patent for a petrol powered internal combustion engine, which made an automobile car practical. Benz also became a successful manufacturer.
