If Thomas Edison Were Alive Today…

… he just might have been born in Africa.

The Very Short List dubs the inventors at Afrigadget a combination of Superuse, MacGyver, and Nikola Tesla.

It’s a pretty awesome site; featuring small and ingenious fixes that have big results. Not all of the inventors are African, but their common focus is solving problems in Africa.

I particularly like the helicoptor. It has never flown higher than 7 feet off the ground, and looks like something my sisters might build with an Erector set, but it has flown (!) so the principle is sound.

And I think Edison would have been proud of Jim.
