BaalChatzaf Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 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_Ovshinskyfor 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.Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
