Fireworks,Inventor: An unknown cook in China
What he was trying to make: According to
legend, the cook was simply experimenting in the
kitchen.
How it was created: A cook accidentally mixed
together charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter - common
kitchen items 2000 years ago. When the mixture
was compressed in a bamboo tube (why the cook
did that we have no idea), it exploded. CORN FLAKES;Inventor: The Kellogg brothers, John and Will
What they were trying to make: A pot of boiled
grain
How it was created: The brothers accidentally
left a pot of boiled grain on the stove for several
days. The mixture turned moldy but the product
that emerged was dry and thick. Through
experimentation they eliminated the mold part and
created corn flakes.
INk-JET PRINTER
Inventor: A Canon engineer
How it was created: After resting his hot iron on
his pen by accident, ink was ejected from the pens
point a few moments later. This principle led to the
creation of the inkjet printer.
X-Rays
Inventor: Wilhem Roentgen, an eccentric physicist
What he was trying to make: He was interested
in investigating the properties of cathodic ray
tubes.
How it was created: When shining light through
the tubes he noted fluorescent papers in his lab
were illuminated even though his machine had an
opaque cover.
