We, Europeans, even invented the USA 😁 but that failed a bit 😅😂🤣
Massively lol
White people are so overrated sometimes
Ah yes, it failed so bad that it has surpassed every nation on Earth in economic power and military strength. As of 2023, the US has a GDP of about $26 trillion. Meanwhile, Europe has a collective GDP of about $18 trillion as of 2023. Imagine a country having more strength than an entire continent. I don't even want to imagine how lopsided the comparison would be if we chose any individual European country instead.

It's all Columbus and Vespucci fault... And free will, mostly free will
I'm shocked America isn't claiming the English language too.
Some do
Well, on this list, they're claiming that Alexander Graham Bell (a Scot) and Michael Faraday (an Englishman) were Americans, aswell as the outright lie that an abolute charlatan like Edison invented the lightbulb

Technically most Americans have British decent so the USA is British
"Alessandro Volta. Cool name for a battery inventor" gotta love the US education system
I know lol It killed me :D
wait until he finds out that most derived units in the metric system are named after invetors
like Farad after Michael Faraday or the Watt after James Watt - both of them were mentioned in the video
To be fair, he did turn it around and wondered if the unit is named after him

So many of these attributed to the US are actually British! The guy who made that video didn't do his research but probably just went off what her always been told!...😤🇬🇧
amen
Bell was Scottish dude ! So many errors in this video it clearly is done by a lazy fat American !
Motion camera given to the UK is a joke! Same for the steam engine, which was improved in the UK, but not invented there, but no need to argue, most inventions come about gradually in different nations, it's a collective endeavour, but that fact doesn't jive well with chauvinists.
Lynn totally agree with you, Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish. The uk invented the web.
@@CHALETARCADE You might argue Savery invented the first useful Steam Engine. The principles were demonstated centuries before.
As a university professor, I was giving a course in East Africa on wildlife ecology for a class consisting of half Eastern African and half European students. During a break, I overheard a heated argument about who invented the most important stuff first. Suddenly a calm Tanzanian said, well we invented the use of fire for cooking and heating... And the discussion stopped. The Africans won!
Lol
Actually the first evidence of human fire usage is from Israel, not Africa
@@alexwtf80 lol- We know Neanderthals used fire to cook their food. I mean it's kinda dumb to even claim something like that anyway, I doubt we really know who really was the first to cook food as we're taking tens of thousands of years ago and archeologists aren't gong to find every fire pit with food left behind. We only can get a rough idea where/when some people were doing it.
@fredmidtgaard5487
It's very unlikely that fire and cooking got "invented" in this part of Africa. I would even rule this out.
Anyway, there are tons of misconceptions and false narratives in terms of history and who invented what. For instance, neither the compass, nor paper or gun powder were invented in China. This is illusional. Until the Manchu intruded in China in the 17th century (coming from Tibet), bringing along civilisation, China was presumbly in a Stone Age condition before that, or maybe on a early, primitive agriculture level.
@@alexwtf80 I assume it was already used to burn city to the grounds
Marconi was Italian, but he set up his radio at Bush House London on the Strand. this was where the BBC headquarters was for a hundred years.
Edison did not invent the electric light bulb, he did however improve it by using a vacuum drawn glass bulb to make it brighter and last longer. Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the Telephone but he was the first to patent it. In many parts of the World Air Conditioning is only used where temperature controlled envoirenments are needed to test electronics. The Principle for microwave ovens was discovered in the UK by Radar operators but never taken further.
Yes the people from US take the credit for everything like they the only who invent things. Haha
first public demonstration of a telephone in germany was by Phillipp Reis in 1861.
Alexander Graham Bell got a patent for his version of the telephone in 1876.
and the italian Antonio Meucci started patent registration in 1871 but couldn't afford it.
thus (as is the case with many inventions) many people invent the same thing around the same time, and mostly build upon the work of others, but only one becomes famous, eg because he could afford registering a patent, or because he had better publicity, etc
1835, James Bowman Lindsay became the inventor of the world's first electric incandescent light bulb. He did not patent it and Edison took James's plans improved them slightly and patent it
@@richardjohnson2026 Edison's patent was from 1879, which was an improvement on a lightbulb which Joseph Swan had patented 10 years earlier. Other precursors of lightbulbs were as early as 1802 (Humphry Davy), and also 1854 by the german Heinrich Göbel who put a bamboo filament in a glass bulb. And in 1875 Herman Sprengel invented the vacuum pumps to finally make lightbulbs practical. Thus it took most of a century and many inventors to invent it and improve on other older versions, and only one of them became famous as the "sole inventor" of the lightbulb, after all the components came together, including vacuum pumps and power generation and whatever else was necessary.
Alexandre Graham Bell was actually Scottish.
In my opinion the printing press (Johannes Gutenberg 1450, Germany) is on the same level as the internet, in terms of how far it has brought humanity.
That allowed cheap widespread knowledge to educate everybody.

Educate everybody that could read and write
I agree, the press and Protestantism (for Protestants it was a duty to read the sacred scriptures independently, so more and more people learned to read, things went much worse in Catholic countries) were the indispensable bases on which a public opinion was slowly formed, always more freed from the narrative of power in force in those eras, it laid the foundations for future democracies.
At the end of the 19th century in Italy 90-95% of the population was illiterate, while in Germany it was the exact opposite, around 90% of people were literate
Flush toilet - actually first was discovered in Crete Island , Knossos Palace , around 1800 BC. Same for the floor heating of rooms
It was invented in indus valley
The pendulum clock was the first truly accurate timepiece ever invented.
It really is up there in terms of historical importance.
Michael Faraday was born in England to British parents, lived his his life in UK and died there too. I can't see where he's American. I'm not a flag waver, but that's definitely a stolen one. 😮

Traffic lights were invented in London, and first installed there on 9 December 1868. Variants of that design was installed allover the USA in the first two decades of the 20th century.
The first *electric* traffic light was developed in 1921 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
that's interesting. I'm also curious, pre electricity, how on earth did they work?
@@mehere8038 my first guess would be people obviously… when the electric ones came out, they either lost their jobs or moved in a different department. Actually, they were probably policemen??
13:35 Fermi was not American, he was Italian, he was not interested in politics, but like everyone else in those times he had to be a member of the fascist party to work, he emigrated to the USA not to escape repression but because the government stopped financing his projects as it should. In America he was integrated into the Manhattan project and was always controlled by the American secret police until the end of the war. He had dual citizenship, he was not American
Americans think different about nationality,
if you are fortunate to have skills, they call you American,
if not you are just a immigrant!
Fermi's wife was Jewish and so his relocation was a very
smart and timely move.
Einstein, Ralph Baer and Tesla also came to USA
inventions credit goes to the country where they are invented though, not the individual. Penicillin was actually multiplied/made usable by an Aussie, but because he was part of Fleming's team. working there, Australia doesn't get credit for inventing antibiotics. Plenty of other examples like that available
@@mehere8038 did penicillin improve the population in several countries in last century??
According to Wikipedia Alexander Graham Bell was a British citizen in 1872 when he got the first patent for the telephone. He didn’t become an American citizen until 1882. 😊

It is generally accepted that television was invented by John Logie Baird, a Scottish scientist. In Australia our TV awards( like your Emmys) are called Logies .
It blows my mind how someone has the audacity to publish a video about national inventions and didn’t bother doing the necessary research into the inventors. So many of these are attributed to nations that the inventor was not even a citizen of.
This is not educational video
I think that the nation shown is the place that sponsored the invention. For example Fermi was italian but he was part of the Manhattan project and there he invented nuclear reactors. So the inventor is italian but the invention is american because they paid him and provided him with the equipment, if this makes sense. I'm italian and studing physics so on Fermi I'm quite sure, I don't know for the others
I never cease to be amazed at America's ignorance of the outside world. And the complacency that one exhibits.
I’m of the same opinion. History of their own country, is basically all they learn about.
You mean about the flush toilet invented by John Harring ton? That's why lots of people call it the john.😮😅😊
any wonder when even videos they see that are supposed to be about "the world" are like this one & totally skewed to their own country's inventions?
@@mehere8038 This video was clearly focused on more modern inventions (as well as significant ones around the time of the industrial revolution).
It is true that most of the major technological breakthroughs were done by either the soviets or the Americans. The soviet breakthroughs were mainly done by their military and this video clearly wasn't showing off military inventions so obviously the US would dominate it. (the only reason they weren't the only ones here was because they went all the way back to the industrial revolution where europe dominated the technological breakthroughs. If you went back 100 years before then europe would almsot entirely be making up the list. If you went back 1000 years after that then it would most certainly be the arab states, china and some parts of india which dominate. Another 500 years would be the romans, han and mauryans.)
You get the point, the US dominates because they focused on the period of time where the US was at the cutting edge of technology. (they still are, most of the worlds breakthroughs are happening either in the US or Europe due to their large research institutions. China is catching up aswell, but as of right now that's all they're doing. Catching up.)

got it yet? That's only a part list of course, but that entire list is from a single country that didn't get a SINGLE mention in this video. Do you honestly think not a single one of those inventions was more worthy of the list than the bandaid?
Figured out what country that list is from yet? Here's an extra tip, they also invented the winged keel for sailing boats & used it in a certain yatch race the US had won eternally until that invention.
I could list off a tonne more inventions from the same country or from other countries also not mentioned in this video. Tell me you honestly think the US is inventing more than the above in terms of revolutionary, life changing inventions in global use today & note that the population of the country that invented all the above is 13 times less than that of the US, with only 27 million people & only coming into existance in 1901
Lets see you come up with a list that long for US inventions of equal importance to the world as those above! Not possible, is it! The US is good at selling itself, NOT inventing stuff! It lags WAY below the world in the number of inovations!
Michael Faraday {born September 22, 1791, Newington Butts, United Kingdom - died August 25, 1867, London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland} was an English physicist and chemist. He was Sir Humphry Davy's assistant.
The Genetic Fingerprinting actually became an idea because of one Croatian officer that for the first time used a criminals fingerprint on a sheet of paper.
Edison is known for buying others inventions then patenting and claiming them as his own.
Yes and yes
Buying or stealing.
He was workaholic too. Not just sitting at home and buying them. He was very intelligent too
@@Athenswinslavayes. Intelligent enough to steal them. All he did was patent an idea that was already invented and nothing more.
The real inventer was a german clockmaker. But he had no interest to make money with it. It was only to light his shop
Saying the US "invented airplanes" is kinda ridiculous and a gross simplification. No country really did, it was the result of constant research and improvements from the 1880s to the 1900s. The Wright brothers were just a part of that process.
Also, they missed some very important inventions (like the printing press or photography), and included some "meh" inventions.
True. But the first person to fly was Otto von Lilienthal. Everything that came after was based on his findings. You “just” had to put these and the combustion engine together. What the Right brothers "invented" was the control system for the flight train.
and even then Otto Lilienthal built a functional glider almost 10 years before the wright brothers
almost 100 years before that George Cayley built a functional glider (but with no human aboard)
That's true for pretty much all inventions. All inventors are standing on the shoulders of giants, as they say.
Yes - 'inventions' rarely come out of nowhere. Mostly the claimed 'inventor' is just making one step of an ongoing process of technological evolution but for various reasons becomes the name associated with early developments in that technology. Quite often it's the person who was able to commercialise it best, meaning their variant is the one that becomes the standard - not that they were the one who made the key leap in engineering. Edison and Bell for instance.
@@jbird4478 Some inventions are more like that than others, and some weren't even invented at precise moment, since they were just the result of continuous slight increments.
To take a concrete example, it's hard not to credit Heron of Alexandria with the first steam machine, or not to credit the guy who invented canned food in the early 1800s. They did it almost from 0, even if nothing is never from 0 fondamentally speaking but by that I just mean they did most of the job.
As opposed to that, inventions such as the car, photography, cinema, the computer or planes, had dozen of people making equally important breakthroughs, so it would be very unfair to just credit it to one guy. It's done regardless to make history simpler for the mob, and sometimes because there's an agenda ("that guy from my country did it blablabla").
I mean, regarding planes in particular, crediting the Wright brothers is very misleading, other planes did fly before them, and it was just a "race" for who would make the most practical plane first. Some say it's Santos-Dumont (his model didn't require a catapult) some say the wright brothers, some say it's others before them even if those versions weren't very fonctional. I think the Wright brothers made important advances, but not more than those before them and than those after them (just 2 years after they presented their plane, the Wright brothers' model was already obsolete and replaced by better concepts).
John Logie Baird (13 August 1888 - 14 June 1946) was a Scottish inventor, electrical engineer, and innovator who demonstrated the world's first live working television system on 26 January 1926.He went on to invent the first publicly demonstrated colour television system and the first viable purely electronic colour television picture tube.
WHOA! Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland and was educated at two different British universities. United Kingdom (1847-1922)
British-subject in Canada (1870-1882)
United States (1882-1922)
As others have said lots of errors in this, and as you said Ryan very difficult to assign many of these inventions, particularly since the late 1800’s, to one person. A critical thing is who got the patent in first. Edison was notoriously good at this, e.g the lightbulb, but to his credit he was a greater improver of other people’s inventions.
Alexander Graham Bell (born Scottish) was working on the telephone with many others, he applied for a patent for something that he knew didn’t work hoping he could get it to work. He did. He seemed to have a close relationship with the Patent Office which helped. His wife was deaf, so he bizarrely “invented” something which was totally useless to her. He wondered why she never answered the phone.
The biggest horrendous error in this was to call Micheal Faraday an American. To us Scientists and Engineers (in the U.K. but I believe worldwide) , Micheal Faraday is a hero. He didn’t just invent the electric motor but established the fundamental principles of electromagnetism on which the modern world is founded. He is up there with Newton, Darwin and Einstein. I don’t believe he ever left the U.K, let alone become American.
adding on that: Femi was Italian so nuclear reactors are not really a US invention (although Fermi was working in US). Internet hasn't been invented in the US as well but at the CERN (by a Belgian if I remember correctly)
Didn’t Thomas Edison steal most of‘his’ ideas from Nikola Tesla??
@@tamibenz6626Now that is an interesting question. I don’t think Edison really stole anything from Tesla, but Tesla worked for Edison and they had a fundamental breakup over electricity. Edison thought the future was DC and Tesla was for AC, so Tesla went to Westinghouse to promote AC, and the past 100 years has proven Tesla right. Westinghouse didn’t appreciate him either and he died in a hotel room in poverty. I should be pleased that Elon Musk has resurrected his name, but I just don’t like Elon Musk. There is a movie about Tesla but can’t remember the name. I think it was on Netflix.
@@Ali-ew3oe Actually the internet was invented by the american DARPA, what CERN invented was the world-wide-web (www) which is build as part (or maybe on top of) the internet.
@@torstensteinert776The World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee; an Englishman.
1:48 Before pendulum clocks existed, people had to use things like sun dials, water clocks, candles, hourglasses and so on to measure time.
Spring-driven clocks already existed, but they were really inaccurate before Huygens incorporated the pendulum, which provided a massive increase in precision.
To help you understand the importance of this, consider being a businessman who is trying to schedule half a dozen meetings in an afternoon. Having a good clock means your grasp on time moves from using generic terms like "dawn", "noon" and "dusk" to something like "01:48 PM" - this makes everything much more efficient.
The way I look at a pendulum, is like using a Metronome when I'm playing music. It keeps me in time. The pendulum does the same thing, but for the clocks hands.
@@adrianboardman162 Yeah, you're right. It's the same thing.
Fun fact about Huygens: when he was a child, he received a liberal education which included studying music. So it's possible that he followed the same thought process as you.
The pendulum accuracy also permit lots and lots of progress in science and shipping navigation (The time of the day is crucial in the position calcul with sun or stars). In those domains accuracy is crucial.
@@JoachimTHIBAULT Pendulum clocks don't work well on ships, though. The first really precise maritime watches made by John Harrison were spring-powered and used balance wheels.
@@BrokenCurtain I'm Autistic, so I'm probably thinking a bit too outside the box, But it does make sense that a metronome set to 120 (2 beats, or Tick Tocks) a minute would equals 60 seconds, or a minute. I'd need to properly look into it.
also *vaccination* was invented by the UK but *vaccines* by Mr. Pasteur, in France

Paper was invented by Egyptians they used papyrus reed plant to make it even tho it wasn't as good as we have today. Leonardo Davinci invented flight, the right brothers just perfected on his design.
What ancient egyptians had was papyrus, not paper. Paper is made from wood, not from the leaves of a plant. Also the manufactoring process is different.
@@Tyrisalthan They used papyrus to make paper what part of that don't you get. It's in history books which I have many.
@@emmahowells8334
"Papyrus was tough and constituted (aside from wet clay) the world’s first mass-produced writing surface. Unlike true paper, however, papyrus was made from plant fibers that have not been broken down. It has rough edges and surface, and the underlying strips can begin to separate when used repeatedly."
Even though they are similar, papyrus is not paper. Similarily beer is not wine, even though they are both alcoholic drinks. The difference is how they are made and what they are made off.
@@Tyrisalthan What you said is irrelevant as it was used as paper doesn't matter how or what it was made from, so there for it was paper to the Egyptians.
@@emmahowells8334 This seem to be a language issue.
When people put margarine on a slice of bread, they say they butter their toast. But it is not actual butter they are spreading, it's just something that has left in the speaking language as a shorthand for any spread on the slice of bread. And people say they drink coke even though they drink some 3rd party cola. Similarily people think everything made of organic matter that you write on is paper. But actually paper has certain parameters it has to fulfill in order to be actual paper. If they are not met, it's not paper. That's why there is a separate words for whatever doesn't met the criteria, for this case word "papyrus" is the name of the product what the ancient egyptians used.
There is tons of similar things in the world that function like that, so the concept should be familiar with anyone. These distinctions are made by people who really know their stuff, and even though ordinary people might sometimes disagree with the distinctions, the people who makes the categories are the people who really should make them. The rest of us just has to accept it.
I'm shocked how anyone ever thought that someone as consequential as Michael Faraday was anything but English. You learn about Faraday in late primary school and onwards. I don't think he even ever left England let alone travelling to America.
He traveled to France with Davy ,

He was born in Scotland and moved to Canada when he was young. The telephone was first invented in Canada. Bell sold the patente to the States as the Canadian government didn’t want to invested in it.
Getting "inventing" confused with "developing"
it is clear that this video was made in the US and they got a lot wrong besides they left out very important inventions that were not invented in the US. in the Netherlands were more than 2 inventions as mentioned in this list, for example the fire hose, the microscope, the telescope, the audiotape, videotape, cd, blueray , wifi and bluetooth, the submarine, the Stock Exchange, the artificial heart and many more

for the telephone Antonio Meucci an Italian had created the prototype , this is a translated article : The invention of the telephone was at the center of a long controversy between the Italian Antonio Meucci and the American Alexander Graham Bell. In 1834 Meucci began working on this project in Florence, and then perfected it in Cuba, where he arrived as a political refugee. Meucci built several prototype telephones that he submitted to the American company Western Union Telegraph Company asking for funding. The company not only gave him a negative response, but also told him that it had lost its prototypes. In 1876, however, a former Western Union employee, Alexander Graham Bell, who had examined Meucci's devices, patented the telephone! Only in 2002 did the United States Congress officially recognize, albeit very belatedly, that Meucci was the inventor of the telephone.
Alexandre Graham Bell wasn't american he was scottish born in Edinburgh
Johann Philipp Reis invented the telephone 10 years before Alexander Graham Bell!
And i'm pretty sure that Enrico Fermi was from Italy, not from the USA.

The original video I think was not very good because it did not mention the printing press. The printing press, invented by German goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg in the year 1436, is arguable one of the most important inventions. It's right up there with the steam engine and the internet in terms of the revolutionary ripple effects it caused. It facilitated the mass-production of books and mass-spread of knowledge, and caused an information revolution. I'm not even German yet I feel frustrated lmao
The Gutenberg Press
printing was invented in China centuries earlier, though Gutenberg's version is more well known in the west cause it created a revolution.

The first light bulb wss not by Edison but invented by Joseph Swan an English inventor who also installed the first domestic lighting systems in the World- to quote from Wikipedia:
"His house, Underhill, Low Fell, Gateshead, was the world's first to have working light bulbs installed. The Lit & Phil Library in Westgate Road, Newcastle, was the first public room lit by electric light during a lecture by Swan on 20 October 1880. In 1881 he founded his own company, The Swan Electric Light Company, and started commercial production."
first lightbulb was a german invention also the telephone... there are so many wrong things in this video...
In reality Edison was a fake and contributed next to nothing. He merely worked in a patent office and stole others ideas, hiding the original patent firms and claiming he invented them.

Generations of children in the United States were raised to revere Alexander Graham Bell as the inventor of the telephone. They learned about how his work with the deaf led to interest about the artificial transmission of sound, and how he filed the first patent for the telephone in 1876.
But while Bell may have been the first to patent the telephone, he was not the first to have invented it.
That honor goes to a little-known Italian immigrant named Antonio Meucci.
After moving from Italy to Staten Island in 1850, Meucci began to experiment with the electromagnetic transmission of sound. In 1856, he succeeded in building a functioning telephone which he described in his notes:
It consists of a vibrating diaphragm and an electrified magnet with a spiral wire that wraps around it. The vibrating diaphragm alters the current of the magnet. These alterations of current, transmitted to the other end of the wire, create analogous vibrations of the receiving diaphragm and reproduce the word. (translated)
Meucci developed over 30 different types of telephones, but began running into financial problems. Unable to secure funding for his invention, it was not until 1871 that he finally applied for protection of his idea. In one of history's most bitter lessons, his caveat omitted any mention that the variable electrical conduction in the transmission wires was to be converted to sound-- the key point of the telephone. Meucci's poor command of English may have been the prime factor in his inability to secure a patent with his poorly-written caveat. To make matters worse, the Western Union affiliate laboratory he had been working with lost the functioning models of his invention. Five years later, Alexander Graham Bell successfully filed his patent for the telephone, and has been credited with its invention ever since.
Meucci tried to challenge Bell's claim, but failed in court. He died nearly penniless and unknown to history until 2002, when the US Congress officially recognized him as the true inventor of the telephone.
George Cayley from Scarborough Yorkshire was an early aviation pioneer who experimented with gliders. In 1799 he set in place the concept of the modern aeroplane as a fixed-wing flying machine.
He experiments led him to develop an efficient cambered airfoil and the first person to identify the four vector forces that influence an aircraft: thrust, lift, drag, and gravity.

wow, I didn't know those, facinating
A point to note: The device that produces microwaves inside a microwave oven - the cavity magnetron is a British invention, without this we wouldn't have the oven. It was invented and intended for use in high power radars. A prototype was loaned to the US for experimentation and during these experiments a candy bar melted in the pocket of a scientist, this gave him the idea for the oven. A world-changing invention that wasn't mentioned was the escape wheel clock. Unlike pendulum clocks, these are not affected by movement, this allowed accurate time keeping aboard ships and made accurate longitude plotting and hence precise sea navigation possible. By knowing exactly what time it was at Greenwich (GMT) and checking for local high noon with a a sextant, you knew how many degrees West or East you were.
Cool, I didn't even think about that, but of course it'd make a huge difference to have an accurate clock on ship. Thx
Magnetron is a Scottish invention.
@@jimmyb640 Scotland is both inside Great Britain and part of the United Kingdom. What is your point? (apart from the fact that it was invented in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom).
The word "paper" is derived from the Greek, "papyrus". Papyrus is a plant, common along waterways and was used by Egyptians as early as the 4th millennium BCE to write upon.
I guess it's not about having some flat, plant-based sheet to write on, but the particular manufacturing process: Unlike papyrus (and similar things from different fibers that existed in Asia), paper wasn't woven, but it was made from pulp - which allowed for easier and cheaper production of it.
Papyrus rolls were too costly, difficult to manufacture and fragile to become widely used. Paper instead was the reason people learned to write and read and knowledge become progressively accessible to common people.
@@drsnova7313dude egyptians got chinese nuts handed over to them😂😂😂 😂 paper was never invented by chinese and nobody whose history dates back to 2000years or more don't recognise it... paper was not invented by them it's just that their process was different...😂😂😂

Yes, Volta is the reason the unit of electrical energy is called the “Volt”.
And also James Watt is the reason we use “Watt” for power.
This is a lie that the Wright brothers were the first aviation pioneers.
Karl Wilhelm Otto Lilienthal (born May 23, 1848 in Anklam, Province of Pomerania, Kingdom of Prussia; † August 10, 1896 in Berlin, German Empire) was a German aviation pioneer. He is considered to be the first person to carry out successful and repeatable gliding flights with a flying machine (glider), thus helping the "heavier than air" flight principle to be used for the first time in humans and paving the way for its later success. His experimental preparatory work and first flight tests from 1891 led to the concept of the wing. The representation of aerodynamic properties of wings in the polar diagram was developed by him and is still used today. The production of the normal glider in his machine factory in Berlin was the first series production of an aircraft. Its flight principle was the conversion of kinetic energy and potential energy into lift and propulsion (gliding).
The Refrigerator being invented 1924 makes no sense when General Electric started producing theirs in 1911.

Alexander Graham Bell was Scottish. However most of his work on the telephone was actually in Canada.
The lightbulb was invented by Swan in Newcastle, UK. Fair to say Edison made it commercially viable.
Regarding AC, its one of the most environmentally damaging inventions. Not only in its electrical consumption but also its direct impact on global warming.
Arguably, the first mechanical computer was invented by Babbage in the UK in the 1820s.
Henry Woodward was a Canadian med student who invented the lightbulb based on Swan's work and others. He was too poor to see it through himself. He patented his lightbulb in Canada in 1874, and later in the US in 1876. When the US patent was filed, Edison was told about it. Edison and five colleagues spent the next 2 years trying to invent a lightbulb to beat Woodward to market. They couldn't figure it out so in 1878 Edison went to Woodward and bought the exclusive rights to Woodward's US patent, promising that Woodward would get the credit and make enough money to sell his lightbulb in Canada and Europe. Edison then took the patent and studied Woodward's design, and also made several small changes which Woodward mentioned he wanted to make. Edison took the new design and filed a patent in 1879. The US Patent Office decided there were just enough changes that it qualified as a separate invention. Edison manufactured and sold his (stolen) design, allowing him to keep all the credit and money for himself.
Inventions never happen in a vacuum, but as a person who knows a thing or 2 about computer science, I would still say, that Konrad Zuse invented the computer because his computer works pretty much exactly the same way modern computers today do, something the previous inventions just didn't.

“Alan Mathison Turing OBE FRS (/ˈtjʊərɪŋ/; 23 June 1912 - 7 June 1954) was an English mathematician, computer scientist, logician, cryptanalyst, philosopher and theoretical biologist.[6] Turing was highly influential in the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer.[7][8][9] He is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.” More on Wikipedia.

Zuse computer got an keyboard, no need to use a paper card or to rewire the computer... modern computer!
Charles Babbage (England) originated the concept of a programmable computer. Considered the "father of the computer", he conceptualized and invented the first mechanical computer in the early 19th century.
The first modern analog computer was invented by Sir William Thomson (later to become Lord Kelvin) in 1872 (England).

As for Alan Turing, he is considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. He helped design one of the first stored-program computers (but not the first).
The industrial revolution in the UK started about 1760, and was driven by water power to run mill machinery, and canals to transport goods. The stationary steam engine (for pumping water out of mines) started to have an impact in the early 1800s.

You can also find it written on Wikipedia. So who is the inventor of the first electrical system for carrying the voice? Tell me?
Meucci was also badly hurt
in the Staten Island ferry fire
and the setback was dramatic.
On the US section of "electric Motor" where Michael Faraday is shown, it should be noted Michael Faraday was British, he was born in Surrey, England. The telephone was invented by Alexandra Graham Bell who was Scottish / Canadian not American.

1:46 The pendulum keeps the clock running at a constant speed. Without a pendulum mechanical clocks were wildly inaccurate. It's a vital invention because it heralded the beginning of true mechanical time-keeping which changed the world drastically.
One can't overrate a pendulum clock invention : "Pendulum is a body suspended from a fixed point so that it can swing back and forth under the influence of gravity. Pendulums are used to regulate the movement of clocks because the interval of time for each complete oscillation, called the period, is constant (!). The introduction of the pendulum, the first harmonic oscillator used in timekeeping, increased the accuracy of clocks enormously, from about 15 minutes per day to 15 seconds per day."
Hemodialysis is the name of the procedure using the machine to separate salts and water soluble waste from the blood.
Dialysis is often used to refer to it, but the term is also a suffix for different forms of removing excess salt and urea from the blood such as peritoneal dialysis(where a permeable membrane is installed in the gut so the salts can diffuse out into a distilled water bag that can then be replaced regularly without the need for a machine).
So yes, it's probably what you think of as dialysis, but it's really just one way to solve the same problem(trading an up front surgery for the usage of a machine at regular intervals).
8:15 The lightbulb is very contentious and was almost certainly NOT invented by Edison. Edison had one good quality, he could see when a product was ready to market. He employed hundreds of inventors and scientists and was ruthless about stealing their ideas and getting them to market when they were ready under his name - he filed all the patents so he got the credit.
One of his scientists/inventors likely invented the light bulb at roughly the same time as Joseph Swan in the UK, which is why the UK arm of Edison's company was sued by Swan's light bulb company for breaching Swan's UK patent on the light bulb. Edison lost, and tried to counter-sue in the US for Swan breaching the US patent, but they decided to pull out because if Swan could prove prior research they may have lost their American patent. So instead Swan and Edison negotiated a merger and formed the Ediswan company, which manufactured light bulbs in the UK until 1928 when it was purchased by a company that was eventually purchased by Siemens.

Charles Babbage invented the first digital programmable computer, the Analytical Engine, back in the 18th century, but it was necessarily mechanical, and the precision engineering of the time wasn't really up to the job (and the money ran out), so only parts of it were built. In 1991 the Science Museum in London used his plans to build the simpler Difference Engine, which worked OK.
Actually, airplanes do not fly thanks to the wing profile that makes the air travel faster above than below. An easy test to verify this is when a plane flies upside down: the wings do not change their profile, the air then travels faster below than above, and yet the plane continues flying.
