Edgebee

Edgebee is one of my favorite game web sites. It has an RPG game on it called Sorcery Quest where you get to create your own characters and battle monsters and other players. You also travel through dungeons for gold so you can buy more weapons.

Alexander Miles

Alexander Miles was a black inventor who invented the electric elevator on October 11, 1887. Even though he didn't invent the first elevator, however he improved the method of the opening and closing of elevator doors and he improved the closing of the opening to the elevator shaft when an elevator was not on that floor, using an automatic mechanism he created that closed access to the shaft. Before elevators needed people to close the door manually.
And sometimes when people forget to close the doors it led to accidents involving people falling down the elevator shafts. The improvement of the elevator led to less accidents including elevators today.

Here are some of his designs: 
  

James Clark Maxwell

James Clark Maxwell was a physicist who lived in the last century, who was interested in how electricity and magnetism worked. One of his accomplishments was making the mathematical equations that describe how these two separate natural phenomena work together to make light and radio waves
 The equations are:

• light is made of electric and magnetic fields that change very, very rapidly
• as the electric field in a light wave changes, it changes the magnetic field; as the magnetic field changes, it changes the electric field; both fields work together to make up the light wave
• if we know the electric and magnetic properties of space, we can calculate the speed of light
