Foreign inventors/scientists:

alexander fleming was a bacteriologist from great britain who in 1928 noticed that a
spot of green mold stooped the growth of some bacteria that he was developed from
this mold.The antibiotic,penicilin was developed from this mold.

The first working airplane was invented, designed, made, and flown by the Wright
brothers, Wilbur Wright (1867-1912) and Orville Wright (1871-1948). Their "Wright
Flyer" was a fabric-covered biplane with a wooden frame. The power to the two
propellers was supplied by a 12-horsepower water-cooled engine. On December 17,
1903, the "Flyer" flew for 12 seconds and for a distance of 120 feet (37 m). The flight
took place at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, USA.

The anemometer is a device that measures the speed of the wind (or other airflow,
like in a wind tunnel). The first anemometer, a disc placed perpendicular to the wind,
was invented in 1450 by the Italian architect Leon Battista Alberti. Robert Hooke, an
English physicist, later reinvented the anemometer. In 1846, John Thomas Romney
Robinson, an Irish physicist, invented the spinning-cup anemometer. In this device,
cups are attached to a vertical shaft; when the cups spin in the wind, it causes a gear
to turn.

Alessandro Volta was an Italian physicist invented the first chemical battery in 1800.

Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847, Edinburgh, Scotland - August 2, 1922,

Baddek, Nova Scotia) invented the telephone (with Thomas Watson) in 1876

Crayons were invented by Edwin Binney and Harold Smith, who owned a paint
company in New York City, NY, USA. Binney and Smith invented the modern-day
