David Crosthwait is the BLACK inventor of heating system in Radio City Music Hall in New York
He Made it good for people who go to Radio City Hall. You don’t
have to freeze when you go there. You can have a Warm Christmas in
the Radio City Hall. Why?
Because of David Crosthwait: He was born in Nashville, Tennessee
and moved to Kansas City Missouri. David got a Bachelor of Science
degree in 1913 and Master of Engineering degree in 1920.
In 1913, Crosthwait moved to Iowa where he worked
for the Durham Company designing heating installations.
By 1925, he got the title director of the research department
leading a staff of both engineers and chemists.
Crosthwait’s research involved heating and ventilating and he
received 39 patents for a variety of devices like heating systems,
vacuum pumps, refrigeration methods and processes and temperature
regulating devices. One of David’s most famous creations is the
heating system for New York’s famous Radio City Music Hall.

Black Inventor Philip Emeagwali did groundbreaking computer work
Philip Emeagwali is a black inventor who made computer usage the best it
Also, he can solve the largest weather forecasting equations with 128 million
points in 1990. Emeagwali implemented the first petroleum reservoir model
with complete success. He is the one who discovered how oil flows
underground, which helps to alert the petroleum industry that
massively parellel computers can be used to recover more oil.
That was one of America’s 20 grand challenges. Philip
Emeagwali came up with a new approach to design supercomputers
by watching and emulating patterns in nature. He also invented
the hyperball computer networks. In addition this black inventor
formulated new mathematical equations for slowly moving liquids
as well as gases like the flow within the Earth’s interior.
Further, this black man, Philip Emeagwali set the world record
for an unprecedented parallel computer speedup of 65536 in 1990.
This experiment involved 65,536 linked computer processors and
revealed that the speed of supercomputers can be increased
a million times.

My comments:
Wow, I want to give much kudos to this man because he
has done alot. Its brilliant that he just kept doing more and more
with computers. It just shows how brilliant and how much of a
genius he is. Also, it shows his ability to be versatile.
Watch this man talk about his invention here:
