Current Invention

Motorized Wheelchairs
The first successfully working electric wheelchair was invented by Dr. George Klein the 1950's for World War II veterans that sustained injuries and were no longer able to walk. The Canadian shared his invention with the US and the rest of the world because he was committed to helping not only his countrymen but everyone else too. this has a connection to the Industrial Revolution because the Induction Electric Motor was invented by Nikola Tesla in 1888.
