I just love d man-cos no matter his achievement he sticked to his believe. Denying an invitation from d british to join other scientist to create a chemical weapon to be use against enemies. Inventors with HUMANITY IN MIND!

Micheal Faraday...he was a french born scientist, he invented electricity...but during d test of his invention he forgot that electrons can not be stoped with hand so he tried stopping the flow of electrons with and unfortunately he was electrocuted and that was how he died....R.I.P...Faraday
why do Nigerians like lying like this? undecided
The story doesn't even make sense. How can a man of Faraday's genius make such a stupid mistake? Stopping flow of electrons of his hand?

Mtcheeeeeeeew. undecided

6. Perillos of Athens

Of all the inventors on this list, this guy may be the one who most deserved to die at the hand of his own invention. Perillos was a bronze worker who designed a device called the Brazen Bull to be used to painfully execute criminals. The Brazen Bull was a hollow bull. Prisoners were locked inside and roasted to death by a fire underneath. The device was even designed to channel the screams of the burning prisoner out of its nose to sound like a bull. Perillos pitched his invention to Phalaris, a tyrant lord of Acragas in Sicily. After Perillos showed Phalaris the bull, the inventor was put inside and a fire was lit underneath him. History isn't clear about if Perillos was pulled out before dying, only to be thrown off a cliff by Phalaris' men, or if he expired within the bull. Either way, the bull did him in.



Crazy dude meets horrible end. His invention wouldn't have made any positive impact to the world.

RIP to baba Sunny, he truly deserves a medal of valor or Nobel mention for service to Humanity cos the rate @ which rodents and insects dey worry person e no funny at all.

The life of an inventor is not an easy one. First you have to come up with a good idea that solves a problem in a way that no one has thought of before, and then you need to design and engineer your idea to take it from theory to reality. The very nature of invention means that inventors are continuously pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. This drive to discover the next Big Thing has been a boon to humanity and has given us inventions like the steam engine, the automobile and the personal computer. It's the major reason why we're still not huddled in caves fighting off wolves and cowering at the crack of thunder.

But invention is a fickle mistress and has proved to be a dangerous undertaking for many a would-be Edison. Things go wrong, inventions break or don't work as the designers intended, and sometimes inventors are killed by the very ideas they brought to life. We've compiled some of the sad but fascinating stories of seven inventors who died at the hand of their inventions. Let their stories serve as lessons for those of us who dream big.

Wow! How did i almost miss this awesome thread? Well, by His grace, i'll be one of the successful inventors known globally as soon as God wants it to prevail. I shall not die in the hands of the inventions, but will rather live to reap from my invention and pushes for more inventions for the betterment of the world. So help me God!
