My Grandfather
- C. Walton Musser, my grandfather. Holder of over 250 US patents. Co-inventor of the recoilles rifle during WWII. 1941 patent for the first version of cruise control. US patent for the ejector seat in aircraft. Biggest invention was harmonic drive in 1957. Harmonic drive is used in many spokes. Space, robotics, printing presses, medicine, auto industry and more. There was a time that all things in space were Harmonic Drive driven. Musser's motto was "Nothing is impossible if you are willing to put in the time and effort."

Tisk, Tisk, Think!!
- 1. The subject is favorite not best inventor. A concept most of you have obviously neglected [Details, people, details]. 2. Most of you just focus on what relates in the most candid manner to, your immediate existence, (electronics) this is a sign of immature understanding of history. How many inventors and ages in history do you actually comprehend? Their are bests for certain subjects, and for their times. Their is NO best. 3. As usual, I will be thee out-of-the-box thinker and say that my favorite is the entity that has absolutely done the most inventing, period........Possibly immortal ........................Come on, Guess.......God?...No......................Give up!?!. The collective that "gets credit" as ANONYMOUS!! Thaaaat's correct, Anonymous! So many ideas are evidenced as probably falsely attributed to a name and truly belong to Anonymous as do the ones which we can not begin to guess at. These ideas ( think the wheel anybody) are the work of The Anonymous! Check Mate.

Tesla wins hands down
- Easy pick - let us start with AC, then multiphase current, motors, generators, then go to radio (controversial subject, great money was at stake, but he was awarded the patent at the end). Basically every single electric and electronic device we use today owes its existence to some of Tesla's patents. Another thing - he was so much engulfed in his work that he did not care about the profit. Imagine the royalties from AC, electric lighting, multiphase generators, radio. Yet he died alone, in a hotel room, virtually forgotten. He was working for the benefit of mankind, and we cannot pay him enough respect for centuries to come. Just go around your neighborhood and ask people if they knew who Tesla was. You'll get the idea.

These dont even come close to one man.
- These inventors don't even come close to the most amazing inventor in history. His inventions were so far ahead of their time, no-one understood it. Free power for everyone on earth. Anyone think of this? It seems like only a god could create such a device. No it is Nicoli Tesla. Almost every electrical device or technology in the world today including some of the most sophisticated are based on his theories and inventions or designs. This great man was shunned, ridiculed, taunted and silenced. Life would NOT be the same at all today if it wasn't for him. Had they listened and not followed greed, our world would be completely different and the way we live. It is also known or speculated that Government agencies confiscated many of his inventions and patents due to not wanting this technology to fall into the wrong hands. Still to this day, he was so advanced scientists still cannot master the awesome power he discovered and was able harness. Mankind is worse off without his vision.... Editor's Notes: I love Tesla http://inventors.about.com/od/tstartinventions/a/Nikola_Tesla.htm

Archimedes
- Archimedes was and is the best inventor ever because he changed the way people looked at the world. He made seemingly magical inventions, and then explained them using science. He also ran around naked. That's pretty...... interesting. Still, he "invented" the archimedes screw (i say "invented" because he simply edited it's original design) and he made giant leaps in the world of mechanics. He was extremely advanced for his time, and we would do well not to forget that. He is obviously the best inventor EVER!!!!!
