inventor comes along who transforms an entire industry,
forever changing its principal product and stimulating
the development of technology. Such a man was John
Ericsson. His inventions, notably incorporated in the
Civil War battleship USS Monitor, marked a turning point
in shipbuilding and transformed the maritime industry. A Swedish engineer and inventor of the 19th
century, his research and innovations in propeller
design, hot air engines and solar energy are
relevant to 21st century issues.
