Michael Farady of England created electricity through magnets. And people before him knew about electricity for long time, so its difficult to answer who invented it.

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who developed many devices which greatly influenced life in the 20th century. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention, and can therefore be credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory. Some of the inventions credited to him were not completely original, but alterations of earlier patents (most famously the light bulb), or were actually the work of his numerous employees. Nevertheless, Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,093 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

The first person I thought of was Gregor Mendel, but everyone already pretty much knew that plants were alive already, he just showed that they have genetics.

"celver" or CLEVER???\n I think anybody on earth have the ability to be Clever as long as they open their mind to new things that are happening everyday. \n I also think there are more American inventors than English investors, but then who cares? We all learn from each of them!

An early pressure cooker, called a steam digester, was invented by Denis Papin, a French physicist, in 1679.\n\nWile E. Coyote cartoons had pressure cookers.

Blaise Pascal? He invented the calculator. Maybe Isaac Newton, the inventor of calculus, or Charles Babbage, the inventor of the computer. Perhaps John Napier, who discovered how to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and even extract square roots simply by moving pieces on a chessboard? Tell you what, pick René Descartes, he's the inventor of coordinate geometry. These are all excellent choices!

Lazy Susans - also popularly called turntables - have been in popular use since at least the 1700s. Thomas Jefferson is often credited with the invention of the Lazy Susan. In colonial times, wooden lazy susans would be used for food and condiments, and for writing utensils and inkwells. In those times Lazy Susans were called "dumbwaiters." Today in America, a dumbwaiter has come to mean a freight elevator for transporting food and dishes between levels. Even today in England, however, people still refer to Lazy Susans as dumbwaiters.\n\nThe term "Lazy Susan" came into popular usage no earlier than 1917. The origin of the term is sometimes thought to have originated from a notoriously lazy house servant; however this theory is unlikely, as its emergence was well past the time when house servants were common. It is more likely that the term "Lazy Susan" was hit upon simply because of its rhythmic appeal. It has also been speculated that the lazy house servant story was concocted by the same marketers.  How the term went from dumb waiter to lazy susan is unknown.

&*&*&\n\nThe Earl Of Sandwich\nHe is also credited with the invention of the sandwich, the name obviously derived from his title. It was long said that he invented the food to sustain himself while gambling without having to eat a full meal; he would never leave his seat at his gambling table and, when compelled to eat, asked his servants to bring him a piece of meat between two slices of bread. His biographer Rodger, however, points out that the sole source of this rumour was gossip mentioned in a travel book by Grosley, and that at the period in question (1765) the Earl was known to be very busy, and it is just as likely that this was for the purpose of eating at his desk. Sandwiches were likely eaten long before the Earl's life — for example, according to Jewish tradition, sanwiches made of unleavened bread and bitter herbs are eaten on Passover.\n\n    * Charles Goodyear invented vulcanized rubber in 1844 that was later used for tires.\n    * In 1888, John Dunlop invented the air-filled or pneumatic tires, however, his were for bicycles. \n    * In 1895, André Michelin was the first person to use pneumatic tires on an automobile, however, not successfully. \n    * In 1911, Philip Strauss invented the first successful tire, which was a combination tire and air filled inner tube. Strauss' company the Hardman Tire & Rubber Company marketed the tires. \n    * In 1903, P.W. Litchfield of the Goodyear Tire Company patented the first tubeless tire, however, it was never commercially exploited until the 1954 Packard. \n    * In 1904, mountable rims were introduced that allowed drivers to fix their own flats. In 1908, Frank Seiberling invented grooved tires with improved road traction. \n    * In 1910, B.F. Goodrich Company invented longer life tires by adding carbon to the rubber. \n    * Goodrich also invented the first synthetic rubber tires in 1937 made of a patented substance called Chemigum.\n\nPneumatic Tyre (Tire)\nJohn Boyd Dunlop (1840-1921) was a Scottish veterinarian and the recognized inventor of the first practical pneumatic or inflatable tyre/tire. His patent was for a bicycle tire, granted in 1888. However, Robert William Thomson (1822 - 1873) invented the actual first vulcanised rubber pneumatic tire. Thomson patented his pneumatic tire in 1845, his invention worked well but was to costly to catch on. Dunlop's tire patented in 1888 did, and so he received the most recognition. William Thomson also patented a fountain pen (1849) and a steam traction engine (1867).\n\nThe Ferris Wheel - George W. Ferris\nThe first ferris wheel was designed by George W. Ferris, a bridge-builder from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Ferris began his career in the railroad industry and then pursued an interest in bridge building. He understood the growing need for structural steel, Ferris founded G.W.G. Ferris & Co. in Pittsburgh, a firm that tested and inspected metals for railroads and bridge builders.\n\nHe built the Ferris Wheel for the 1893 World's Fair, which was held in Chicago to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus's landing in America. The Chicago Fair's organizers wanted something that would rival the Eiffel Tower. Gustave Eiffel had built the tower for the Paris World's Fair of 1889, which honored the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.\n\nFinding a suitable design proved difficult: Architect Daniel H. Burnham, who was in charge of selecting the project for the Chicago World's Fair, complained at an engineer's banquet in 1891 about having found nothing that "met the expectations of the people". Among the audience was George Washington Gale Ferris Jr., owner of a firm that tested iron and steel. He had an inspiration and scribbled the design for the Ferris Wheel on a napkin during the dinner.\n\nIt was considered an engineering wonder: two 140-foot steel towers supported the wheel; they were connected by a 45-foot axle, the largest single piece of forged steel ever ma
