He is heralded as the fourth most prolific inventor of all time. Some of his successes include the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting, practical electric light bulb, a mechanical vote recorder, a battery for an electric car, electrical power, recorded music and motion pictures. And it is the latter of these brain storms with which he created the video below.
He was one forward thinking mother fucker, here’s a quote from him in 1931!:
He also said that “genius is 1% inspiration and 99% persperation”. He’s a guy who had a way with words as well as a way with the bits and shits that he built.
