    I mentioned this inventor in a 2014 thread. Bringing him up again because there are many interesting stories, some mentioned at links:

    Stanford Ovshinsky Might Be the Most Prolific Inventor You’ve Never Heard Of | Innovation | Smithsonian

    BIOGRAPHY: The Legacy of Stanford Ovshinsky | Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS)

    Invented NiMH batteries, many of which are still rattling about in Prius. Invented other things. Got some heat for no PhD.
