   3)Automobiles

   13)Machine Guns

   -Long ago in England, a queen complained about the smell of her bathroom, her son came in with a new concept idea that when a cord would be pulled then water would pour in and a chamber would open releasing anything in the bowl.

   20)Sink

   22)Electricity
   -"Lightning is Electricity!" –Ben Franklin. Although the Electricity you mean would probably come from Edison and Tesla. Edison made electricity via generators while rival Tesla made electricity more powerful and abused its uses in many good scientific ways. Green Electricity basically comes from Tesla’s uses. Tesla’s use would also make the use of Electricity last longer and could be transfer wireless. Although the rival between the two had Edison destroy most of Tesla’s work and leaving Edison victor.
