Sarah Boone (née Sarah Marshall; 1832 – 1904) was an African-American inventor. On April 26, 1892, she obtained United States patent number 473,563 for her improvements to the ironing board. Boone's ironing board was designed to improve the quality of ironing the sleeves and bodies of women's garments. The ironing board was very narrow, curved, and made of wood. The shape and structure allowed it to fit a sleeve and it was reversible, so one could iron both sides of the sleeve.

One of my favorite character traits of the Doctor is that they’re an inventor. 10 had the “timey-wimey” detector from Blink, the Zygon-detecting thing from The Day of the Doctor, and the Adipose tracker from Partners in Crime. 13 built her own sonic screwdriver in her first episode

#i don’t remember if the Doctor invented the mirror backpack thing from Vincent and the Doctor #and i remember 12 using some device during The Woman Who Lived? I’d have to rewatch #just i love the fact that the Doctor is an inventor #doctor who #updates from cipher #i KNOW 14 is disassembling Donna noble’s microwave at 1am rn

THE WORLD'S FIRST ELECTRIC ROLLER COASTER

Granville T. Woods (April 23, 1856 – January 30, 1910) introduced the “Figure Eight,” the world's first electric roller coaster, in 1892 at Coney Island Amusement Park in New York. Woods patented the invention in 1893, and in 1901, he sold it to General Electric.

Woods was an American inventor who held more than 50 patents in the United States. He was the first African American mechanical and electrical engineer after the Civil War. Self-taught, he concentrated most of his work on trains and streetcars.

In 1884, Woods received his first patent, for a steam boiler furnace, and in 1885, Woods patented an apparatus that was a combination of a telephone and a telegraph. The device, which he called "telegraphony", would allow a telegraph station to send voice and telegraph messages through Morse code over a single wire. He sold the rights to this device to the American Bell Telephone Company.

In 1887, he patented the Synchronous Multiplex Railway Telegraph, which allowed communications between train stations from moving trains by creating a magnetic field around a coiled wire under the train. Woods caught smallpox prior to patenting the technology, and Lucius Phelps patented it in 1884. In 1887, Woods used notes, sketches, and a working model of the invention to secure the patent. The invention was so successful that Woods began the Woods Electric Company in Cincinnati, Ohio, to market and sell his patents. However, the company quickly became devoted to invention creation until it was dissolved in 1893.

Woods often had difficulties in enjoying his success as other inventors made claims to his devices. Thomas Edison later filed a claim to the ownership of this patent, stating that he had first created a similar telegraph and that he was entitled to the patent for the device. Woods was twice successful in defending himself, proving that there were no other devices upon which he could have depended or relied upon to make his device. After Thomas Edison's second defeat, he decided to offer Granville Woods a position with the Edison Company, but Woods declined.

In 1888, Woods manufactured a system of overhead electric conducting lines for railroads modeled after the system pioneered by Charles van Depoele, a famed inventor who had by then installed his electric railway system in thirteen United States cities.

Following the Great Blizzard of 1888, New York City Mayor Hugh J. Grant declared that all wires, many of which powered the above-ground rail system, had to be removed and buried, emphasizing the need for an underground system. Woods's patent built upon previous third rail systems, which were used for light rails, and increased the power for use on underground trains. His system relied on wire brushes to make connections with metallic terminal heads without exposing wires by installing electrical contactor rails. Once the train car had passed over, the wires were no longer live, reducing the risk of injury. It was successfully tested in February 1892 in Coney Island on the Figure Eight Roller Coaster.

In 1896, Woods created a system for controlling electrical lights in theaters, known as the "safety dimmer", which was economical, safe, and efficient, saving 40% of electricity use.

Woods is also sometimes credited with the invention of the air brake for trains in 1904; however, George Westinghouse patented the air brake almost 40 years prior, making Woods's contribution an improvement to the invention.

Woods died of a cerebral hemorrhage at Harlem Hospital in New York City on January 30, 1910, having sold a number of his devices to such companies as Westinghouse, General Electric, and American Engineering. Until 1975, his resting place was an unmarked grave, but historian M.A. Harris helped raise funds, persuading several of the corporations that used Woods's inventions to donate money to purchase a headstone. It was erected at St. Michael's Cemetery in Elmhurst, Queens.

LEGACY

▪Baltimore City Community College established the Granville T. Woods scholarship in memory of the inventor.

▪In 2004, the New York City Transit Authority organized an exhibition on Woods that utilized bus and train depots and an issue of four million MetroCards commemorating the inventor's achievements in pioneering the third rail.

▪In 2006, Woods was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

▪In April 2008, the corner of Stillwell and Mermaid Avenues in Coney Island was named Granville T. Woods Way.

"Start of super heating union, St. Joseph, Missouri.” Photograph features inventor Charles S.L. Baker (on right) and his brother Peter in February 1906. Baker had just invented the Friction Heater which he is leaning on. It consisted of a motor (left) that turned a shaft inside a water jacket that heated up, so the fluid inside flowed into (thus warming) the radiator on the right. He got the idea originally when he had forgotten to grease the hubs of his father's wagon and the resulting heat caused the wheels to fail.

Out of curiosity, who do you think is the better inventor between Aviva and Zach?

Hi, anon! Thank you for the ask! I apologize for the wait in getting to it!

This, anon, is a very hard question for me to answer. Zach is my love and my life, and Aviva is his greatest enemy and rival! But! I’ll pray Zach hasn’t charged the Zachbots and answer honestly before he gets them to come after me if my answer isn’t to his liking….so, here goes nothing.

Deep breath….

Aviva is the better inventor!

There, I said it! *Looks around for angry Zachbots* No, he didn’t hear me yet…Good! I’ve got some time to give an explanation! (Below the cut because it’s a bit lengthy)

The primary reason I believe Aviva is the better inventor is because she creates inventions that are ethical. Her inventions are created with the health, safety, and well being of animals, plants, humans, and the environment in mind. She would never willingly or knowingly create an invention that would cause harm or destruction to the world and its living inhabitants.

This, sadly, is not the case for Zach. Zach’s inventions are created primarily for financial gain or to benefit himself and his lifestyle. He does not stop to think of what his actions may do to the greater world around him.

When using animals as the power sources for his inventions, he does not consider the physical and psychological strain that is being placed on them. When discarding his waste or wanting to create a location for his own enjoyment or financial gain, Zach does not evaluate harm that will come to the environments that are the homes to so many innocent creatures.

This is not to say that Zach is not a talented inventor. As we have seen throughout the series, he is. Zach has created inventions such as the Zachbots, the Disruptobots, his Invisibility Cloak, his Disrupto-beam, and his Mosquito-bots - None of which directly harm animals or the environment. But, the vast majority of his inventions are self-centered, harmful creations that only benefit him.

This is not the case at all with Aviva. She wants to make the world a better place through her inventions. Her goal is to help and improve the world around her with her inventions, not improve her own personal world. Which in my opinion makes her the better inventor.

Zach *screaming*: “JIG/Violet!!!!”

Me/Violet: “Oh no, he saw me writing this post….”

Zach *still screaming*: “Zachbots! Get her tablet and delete the post!”

Me/Violet: “Oh no, posting this now and logging out before they get here! Bye y’all!”

genuinely you were cooking with that cersei post, her not repaying debts to the iron bank but working with the faith instead makes the crown have to work a local institution that at least sorta cares about the smallfolk instead of a foreign bank with predatory interest rates.

National Hero Cersei Lannister reinforcing Westerosi economic independence and sponsoring the Proletarian "sparrow" movement

i was joking about her being remembered as a progressive but this you’re talking about is economic nationalism that’s the wrongggggg way honey we have to turn around

#I don’t think my dad Tywin Lannister the inventor of fascism would be happy about this #cersei could invent The Nation. wouldn’t know what to do with it though

i might be waaay off but i'm wondering if we'll get some kind of hanataba reveal this season bc of 1. the ongoing theme of inaccessible medical care 2. slip being connected to the life support machine which sounds like one of the weird hanataba contraptions (? maybe?) and ppl trying to profit off it could be a motivation to make them free 3. possible parallels between jet's the aurinkos and hanataba being an organized group of renegades (which would make more sense than just one person doing all of that?) 4. possible parallels between juno and slip both being saved by her machines

#in my head hanataba was a doctor who maybe worked with the dokana group (invented the machines?) then left to create something better #for the people like erin marshall d'arc with the free dome #and dr hanatabas legacy lives on through a group of ppl who create those clinics to help people #this is just a silly theory but it would tie up a lot of plot points #also next to m'tendere and erin marshall d'arc she would be the third inventor who wanted their creations to help ppl but failed (kind of)#besides i figure were due for a reveal. i mean if there is going to be one then this would make the most sense to me #idk #the penumbra podcast #ew.txt
