First man to fly was a German aviator Gustave Whitehead in 1901. Also, two Tinsmiths from Dunedin invented the triple rim can sealing lid, still in use today as used on paint tins, food cans etc.
It was the Wright Brothers. Every second nation seems to have someone that was first, but they all never thought to prove what they did, just claim it after the Wright Brothers did it.

Cool. first time id heard Chris Mentioned regarding Bungy jumping... I remember helping him cut long rolls of elastic into various widths that he would then tie together to "break" at different times.. Didnt know what he was planning at the time but he said there was science involved.. Hmmmm
Jet boating was used by the American Army well before some kiwi try to claim this invention as theirs , if it wasn't for NZ the world will still be flat / ''an example to the world'' as you constantly repeat that
I think we can all agree the most important New Zealand invention of all time is the Pavlova. The Aussie’s will tell you they intend it but that’s a lie
I think the most important one missing from this collection is the Hamilton Jet.
I agree, my Father worked for Hamilton's for nearly 40 years, he had one arm and was fantastic with the jet boats, did the Hamilton spin perfectly
Absolutely agree
The jet engine wasn’t invented by Mr Hamilton he took someone else’s design and pattern it under his name

Instant coffee was invented in invercargill by strange coffee and also the Bobby pin was invented in invercargill
It's Strang coffee, and the building is still there, off Esk st, almost opposite the Council offices, behind another newer building.
I think he refined it to the point where it was useable.
You left out the Hamilton Jet engine which was the first thing I thought of LOL
yes I thought of that first too
Same
The Hamilton Jet was not an engine, it was a water jet pump connected to an engine. Brilliant invention, but not an engine.

Pavlova with other names, has existed for about two centuries before NZ or Australia argued over inventing it.

That's pretty cool. I wonder if he could've got a bigger offer if he shopped around?
That's cool , but what a bummer, sure think the royalties over the years would have been $$ more ! .
We've been inventing things before we even existed
The Hamilton Aqua Jet.
Aerial Top Dressing.
The Ski Plane.
spotting knives
Looking forward to the next video, there are plenty more you can add on. Good video - well done 👍
New Zealands best invention: 'Yeah, Nah, Yeah' - Did you agree with it or disagree with it - perfection.
John Brittens race bike ! Beautiful piece of history

Trench warfare
Romans did that
Ernest Rutherford lived in Havelock on the Marlborough Sounds
So where's the #8 wire ? and the Taranaki gate ?
Probably still in Taranaki 😂
I am pretty sure kiwis have added a few more inventions since this was edited.
The Taranaki Gate, but I’m not sure that it’s been widely adopted outside New Zealand.
I’ve seen many in Queensland whilst trail riding.
just shared i didnt know about the egg beater,
