The best inventions have always stemmed from a vision. Great visionaries can picture a solution to a current problem, or imagine turning a luxury into a necessity, or maybe an innovation that changes how a future society operates entirely. And most visionaries are met with nay-sayers and doubters, and even outright barriers or obstacles because others can’t see what this visionary can. This particular inventor holds over 300 patents on items that are difficult to understand even in our technology-immersed society of the 21st century. Oh, and his first vision for his revolutionary invention? Came at a mere 14 years old. One of the most incredible parts of this, though, is not just his idea at 14, but the obsessive pursuit of completing this invention at such a young age. Find out what this invention is and who this person is on this episode of the Missing Chapter.
