Inventors: Out of Their Minds

They’ve given us light, photographs, electricity, lasers,cars, movies, and videocassettes but we generally know the invention, not the inventor. This delightful program gives you a rare look at the wizards themselves – some of the greatest inventors in modern history. Meet the unchallenged father of invention, Thomas Edison, a brilliant man whose 1000 useful inventions remain a phenomenal legacy. Meet other inventors such as musician Stevie Wonder and Raymond Kurzweil as they collaborate on a synthesizer that believably recreates the sounds of musical instruments. Meet Paul Moller as his personal aircraft vehicle takes its first test flight. Enjoy this fascinating salute to the imaginative minds whose “better mousetraps” may make life more livable tomorrow. As seen on ABC. Narrated by Fred Gwynne.
