Stan Ovishinsky who had over 200 patents has died. He invented the nickel hydride battery used in hybrid cars. But that is only a small indication of his talent. He was self-taught.

Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Ovshinsky

for a bio on this man and a list of his accomplishments.

It is good to know that this country is still capable of producing people like Ovishinsky.

He reminds me of a prolific self educated inventor I met in Dayton OH about 1990 who had about 300 patents - some related to LCD screens.

He had an 8th grade education but worked for the Mead Corp.

My uncle lives in Kettering, a suburb of Dayton. In 1995 we drove by a mansion on a huge lot near his home. See that? He said. The guy who lives there invented the valve used in pressurized spray cans--all of them.
