The earliest washing "machine" was the scrub board invented in 1797. American, James King patented the first washing machine to use a drum in 1851, the drum made King's machine resemble a modern machine, however it was still hand powered. \n\nIn 1858, Hamilton Smith patented the rotary washing machine. \n\nIn 1874, William Blackstone of Indiana built a birthday present for his wife. It was a machine which removed and washed away dirt from clothes. The first washing machines designed for use in the home. \n\nhttp://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blwashingmachines.htm

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.

It was not until the middle ages that the scissors started to look the way we know them today. Leonardo DaVinci, famed painter of the Mona Lisa and outstanding inventor, is most frequently credited with inventing the modern sicssor formed from two separate pieces of metal, attached at a central pivot point. \n\nHowever tools with a similar look and function, yet clearly a different tool, have been dated to 1500BC, long before DaVinci's birth in 1452. These first scissors were quite different than the ones we have today, and were formed from one piece of metal, bent and sharpened on both ends in order to form the scissor blades. This basic scissors concept is still found today in the sheep shearing industry as the classic sheering instrument. \n\nClassic scissors are made of standard carbon steel. The higher the carbon content, the harder the scissors and the harder the scissors are, the longer they will perform their cutting function. Modern manufacturing techniques also include stainless steel. This alloy is rustproof, nickel-free, and can be well hardened. Acme has recently included titanium in its manufacturing process providing increased cutting performance and longevity.

If I was a jerk, I'd say your mama. But in reality it was a guy named Valerio Badivlitski (1891-1937), who was tired of his stepson always "accidentally" walking in on him when he was showering. He invented the curtain shower (back then it was made of carpet, not plastic), at the age of 46. Some scholars claim it was his wive who invented it and gave if to him as an anniversary present. A month later, he was beat to death. Most believe it was his stepson. Some scholars believed it was his wive, who didn't get an anniversary present herself; however, this later theory was discredited in 1999, when it was discovered that the day after she is supposed to have given Valerio the present, her son (Valerio's stepson) killed her.

He invented a cycle, which is externally and internally reversible, and gives the highest efficiency that any thermal machine will give between a given range of temperatures.\n\nThis cycle, however, can not be taken to practical applications, for all the four processes in the cycle involve irreversibilities that cannot be eliminated in reality.

Scottish inventor Alexander Bain is often credited with the first fax patent in 1843. He used his knowledge of electric clock pendulums to produce a back-and-forth line-by-line scanning mechanism.\n\nIn 1861 the first fax machine, Pantelegraph, was sold by Giovanni Caselli - before even the invention of workable telephones.\n\nAs a designer for the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), in 1924, Richard H. Ranger invented the wireless photoradiogram, or transoceanic radio facsimile, the forerunner of today’s "Fax" machines. A photograph of President Calvin Coolidge sent from New York to London on November 29th 1924 became the first photo picture reproduced by transoceanic radio facsimile. Commercial use of Ranger’s product began two years later. Radio fax is still in common use today for transmitting weather charts and information.\n\nAn early method for facsimile transmission, the Hellschreiber, was invented in 1929 by Rudolf Hell, a pioneer in mechanical image scanning and transmission.\n\nIn 1985 Dr Hank Magnuski, founder of GammaLink, produced the first computer fax board, called GammaFax.

He invented a "photophone", the predecessor to our fiber optics.  It was a way to transmit information, in the form of sound, over light. In addition, he invented a vacuum jacket that would eventually become the iron lung used in polio cases in the 50s.  He also pioneered into the area of desalinization, "alternative energies" and recycling.  He also invented the concept of metal detectors, using an inductive pickup coil.

The inspiration for the earliest motorcycles, and arguably the first motorcycle, was designed and built by the German inventors Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in Bad Cannstatt (a city district of Stuttgart) in 1885. It was the first petroleum-powered vehicle ever and, but for the provision of a pair of stabilizing wheels, a motorized bicycle, although they called their invention the Reitwagen ("riding car"). They had not set out to create a vehicle form but to build a simple carriage for the engine which was the focus of their endeavours. However,if one counts two wheels with steam propulsion as being a motorcycle, then the first one may have been American. One such machine was demonstrated at fairs and circuses in the eastern US in 1867, built by one Sylvester Howard Roper of Roxbury, Massachusetts. There is an existing example of a Roper machine, dated 1869. It's powered by a charcoal-fired two-cylinder engine, whose connecting rods directly drive a crank on the rear wheel. This machine predates the invention of the safety bicycle by many years, so its chassis is also based on the "bone-crusher" bike.
