Alexander Shulgin - He took the failed patent for methylenedioxymethamphetamine and turned it into the rave scenes biggest drug, ecstasy. Big up Alex.

Nikola Tesla - Invented radio, alternating current, neon lights, Tesla coil.

H R Giger - Best known for designing the Xenomorph and set design for the Alien movies. I have a tattoo I designed in his style and plan to do more.

The first person to discover that the earth covered, starch filled lump needed to be washed, peeled then heated by various means to become an essential foodstuff.

Far too many engineers mentioned . . . None of whom are genius, merely 'talented' and exceptional applicators ( see wind up radio )

nothing genius about song writing or music. . I had all been done before the 50's, but commercialisation is a clever skill.

Archimedes, now he was a sharp tool.

personally, I think Keith Duckworth was close. . . . . .

and John Crumplin . Obvs.
