He also designed the electrics of the internal combustion engine for John Holland’s submarine and the first modern refrigerator. Some of his innovations can be found in the A/C generator, electric motors, and transformer. He held over 240 patents. He graduated from the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute as a mechanical engineer.
